G8 only offers manual in the GXP, which is awesome, but rare/expensive (compared to a used G)

 

Plus GXP comes with that hideous ricer wing.

 

for the G35s, there are some other differences in the '08's compared to the '07's:

- 08's have the ipod integration
- 08's have the improved trim that doesn't peel

 

It does? Pic?"

 

I say stick w/ the G35. The acura is fun but FWD. The G will be way more fun to drive and it will impress you every time.

 

^^ Unless you ever drive a car with actual power, then you won't be impressed anymore. The G35 looks good and is mostly-reliable. But if you really want a sports sedan that you will enjoy driving, you need a V8 and decent suspension.

 

A car doesn't need huge power to be fun to drive. Lotus is a good example. So it the BRZ.

My G35 sedan was a bit more fun to drive even though it has less power than my G8GT with an all independent suspension. But the G was on Z springs/sways/Konis vs my GT is stock. Maybe that will change with some springs and sways

 

What hideous wing?

 

Note on the interior trim, my '08 had peeling problem on the interior trim as well, but they were replaced under warranty.

 

hey guys,
so i test drove the TL-S, G37 and IS350.

I was surprised at the quality of the interior. The TL felt like I was in a Honda Accord... actually a cheaper accord. The IS was nice so was very happy with it, no manual though so didn't like that part.

Now the G37 was very surprising. The interior felt really high quality. Engine noise was pretty much non existent and throttle was excellent. I was thinking about my 2006 G35 Coupe and couldn't believe the difference between the two.

I wish I could have driven a G35 Sedan but there wasn't any for me to check out. Is the build quality/interior same for the G35s when comparing to the G37s or worse? I am assuming that it will be better then the G35 Coupe, right?

Thanks
Reggie

 

The Exige and BRZ are not heavy pigs like the G. If your car weighs 2 tons, you have to have the power to back it up.

 

Sorry I was wrong, I was thinking of the G6 GXP not the G8 GXP.

 

The G37 interior is far nicer than G35 interior. Nicer materials and lines, but same build quality.

 

i have an 08 G35x Sedan and i get G37x Sedan loaners all the time.

not much difference but i do notice the little things and i think its nicer. It could also be because they always give me a brand new loaner (less than 10k miles). i d say go with a G37 instead of the G35 if they are around the same price and miles.

 

My 03 G sedan was aro 3500lbs. I'd guess the heavier G37 sedan would be offset with the 40 more hp,
