Show me the Numbers!
The new G35 Sedan looks great! Nissan didn't screw up a design that was unique to begin with 4 years ago. What would concern me is the "motor" and what have they done to it to make up for the weight gain that is definetely there!
I see the 7500RPM redine on the Tach which means less torque where I want it and that is at lower RPMs! A 6speed automatic would have been nice as the rev matching is a load of crap as far as what I want from a preformance perspective.
Anyway, SHOW ME THE NUMBERS!
My 2003 (dogey door) sedan will be around for a while to come as my wife just went out and bought a 2007 Camry SE V6 with a pretty good 3.5 litre engine. I was surprised when I drove it, not a G35 (front wheel drive) BUT it will beat a TL and my G in a straight line!
Have a great day;

Sincere apologies for using the word Gay though. Forgot which board I was on.
And I was out of school while you were still discovering yourself in the tub, son.

Picus - you should seriously audition the Passat with that Dynaudio. That's the one to beat IMO.

Not that I want to get into the mudslinging you guys are doing, but while Infinity probably could design a much better car audio system than Bose (heck, if Monsoon can, Infinity can), I don't know how likely it would be that said system would compare favorably to the IS's ML, or the TL's stock 5.1 system.
And yes, when push comes to shove as much as I am interested in the system, I am more interested in the engine!

If there's one thing common to ALL automobile websites, it's the negative reaction a newer model gets from many of the older model owners.
The front end is ugly
The back end is ugly
I'll stick with my 04
The seats are 1/8 of an inch off center
The BMW 330i is way better
Good grief, it's enough to drive a person insane. The 07 G35 is a HUGE step in the right direction for infiniti. Don't just compare it to the 06, look back a few more years. The interior is literally 1000% better than it was in 2003. The automatic shifter isn't notchy and blends well with the interior, it has bluetooth, the materials are of better quality, Infiniti FINALLY got the gauges right!!! No more ugly orange.
If you think the Lexus and BMW's are better, that's fine. They also will cost you upwards of $6-12K more than the G35. They freaking should be better. If the financials remain the same with the G (and I'm sure they will), I'll be able to get a smoking hot sedan for $35K with financing terms of 2.9% or better. Good luck finding a better VALUE.

Well, overall the design is nice. Interior and exterior. I can see that the interior and exterior quality looks a lot like my '05 coupe. Just updated. I'm going to show the wife and see if she wants one (she's looking for a new vehicle).
But the only way I would ever buy infiniti again is if they fix the design issues surrounding the rattles and creaks. There are just too many of them in all of these nissan products when compared with audi, bmw, and Lexus/toyota. For those who say they have no rattles...great. But we all know our cars have more rattles than the aforementioned.
So upgrade the interior materials, upgrade the motor, blah blah. But I want to be sure Infiniti has upgraded the way they've engineered these components to fit together. I'm thinking with a similar MSRP, etc... that may not have happened.
Love my '05 though. Just got a new job that gave me a 100% raise. So hopefully a GTR?

Yeah - well nothing can compete with the Sparkomatic from my Plymouth!

The 07 Camry V6 is not faster than a G35 or a TL in a straight line... 07 Camry V6 does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, that's about 0.5 seconds slower than a G35 AT, and about 1.0 seconds slower than a G35 MT or TL.
