Pure sex just like the 1st gen G. I have a feeling the 1st gens won't look that old school to the lay person. To us who car about it we will know. I guess i am glad i did not wait for teh 08's however i have a feeling the interior will be superior in everyway. When i get in the G i just lok and realize how much i need the z1 in my dash.

 

You've answered your own question in the first line. Almost as good. Many people looking buying this car will be looking for something better that sets the car apart from the competition and raises the bar some. Perhaps not you but some people. It's certainly the part of my car I get the most questions and comments on and they may have assisted my efforts and safety on the track.

Even if they are almost as good, the OE aren't 4 piston BTW. As far as not being needed in everyday driving it's the same as other aspects of the car. You may not need or use the car and all its features to full potential everyday but doing it occasionally or knowing you can is good enough reason for some to have them.

I don't know where you are coming up with the $3K cost of optional Brembos for the '08. If you were right on that the price of an '05 6mt Coupe should have dropped significantly relative to an '04 since Infinit changed to cheaper brakes. As well the extra cost for an MT was about 2K and you received Brembos, a VLSD, aero package and in Canada upgraded shocks and springs.

Potential additional brake upgrade cost isn't relevant in comparing the G to a Honda Coupe. They aren't in the same class. That comparison would be made with the Altima Coupe. It would not likely have higher grade brakes due to it being more of an entry level sport coupe, with the beauty being pretty much just skin deep.

Let's hope there are enough options to keep all of us happy.

 

I like the concept coupe a lot. IMO its better looking than that sketch.

I concur. The sketch has m45 front lights and is not that impressive.

I read somewhere that they got rid of the brembo's because they were wearing down too quickly and there was a tons of complaints.

So I imagine, if this is indeed true, then we will not be seeing brembo's.

 

I would say the increase in cost is attributed to the better inards in the 05 and larger rims/tires. I would say the rims/tire alone (according to Nissan) will more then make up the price difference from them not offering the Brembos.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the Brembos, keep the larger rims (vs. not sport models), and all the other goodies for the 08 6MT and NOT increase the base price vs. the 06/07 models. I may think about it once it comes out and whether to get the newer model or just to wait another year afterwards. However, I think it is wishful thinking that they wouldn't increase the price significantly if they did all that (including the Brembos).

I also heard through the grapevine that they got rid of the Brembos was also due to costs, it had problems (don't know what it was, but I would assume premature wear and tear and replacement parts), and Nissan trying to keep the cost down on the 6MT.

 

Thanks!

 

Hey! Chill Out!!!


Dont take my opinions as insults. I was just expressing my own personal views.


All im stating is that, although they do share some similarities in the top half of the side profiles as you just proved, they, overall, look nothing alike in my opinion.

----------

When have I ever stated that a G35 is as fast as an M3? Maybe before I became a "car-enthusiast"; But I know by fact that an M3 is superior to the G35 in every perfomance category. Try to stick to the subject and not get offended by any of my comments; the last thing I wanna start is a flame-thread.
