G Coupe or 350Z

I know most of you will want to chop my ***** off for this question.

I currently own a G35 Sedan and love it. Due to work..I must keep it for the size.

My wife and I are looking for a 3rd "fun" car and we have always wanted a G35 coupe. But it looks just like the sedan, do you think it would be weird to own a G35 coupe, and a G35 Sedan???

Or should I entertain the possibility of getting a Z?

I'd like to get some opinions from people who have owned both...

I was originally gonna criticize you for starting the "350z vs G35" debate, which always ends up as a very informative and "flame thread".

But you stated "My wife and I are looking for a 3rd "fun" car and we have always wanted a G35 coupe. But it looks just like the sedan, do you think it would be weird to own a G35 coupe, and a G35 Sedan???"

No disrespect and all, because I respect everyone's opinion (as long as it's relevant), but how the hell do you believe the Coupe looks like the Sedan???

I always thought they were miles apart from each other in looks; Kind of like most Human brother's are today. They're related, yet so different in personality and style...

Headlights and lines of the coupe and sedan are very similar.

I am not saying the coupe and sedan look as close as a 2 door civic and a 4 door civic...but they have similarities.

I have always salivated over coupe's but for me is was not practicle, realistic, or big enough for what I need. So I got the next best thing, big brotha Sedan.

I was waiting for the new style 07...08....whenever they decide to release it

But it seams like they aren't going to change much of the appearance.

I hate to bring up the "350 vs G35" thread again because I know its been discussed over, and over, and over, and ovr again...but I thought that my situation was unique in the fact that I would be owning both possibly.

Does anyone else here own both a sedan and coupe?

If you already have a G. Why get something so similar? Just my 2 cents

You might want to test drive the coupe and see if you can tell the difference driving it.

If you are looking for a third fun car, and have good weather, I would look at a Z roadster. That would at least be a noticeably different driving experience.

I test drove an 07' Z yesterday and it was a bit more "jumpy" than the 06'. The new engine and dual intake seems to help quite a bit.

Part of me wants to wait to see how the new engine of the coupe feels.

I also test drove an 06' coupe and it feels so similar to the sedan. However, I cream my pants when seing a coupe and I don't have the same affection to the 350. This is a tough decision.

I'd like to stay away from BMW and Mercedes cause I believe they are the devil Maint. on an Infiniti is expensive, I have heard that BMW and Mercedes are worse.

I'd go 350. Both look great, but the G won out for me because it had a back seat. That was really the only difference for me.
