i dunno... did he create any threads about how it looks? I wouldn't know.. i don't track other member's posts about any one particular topic. Is there an "ElixXxeR posts fan club"?

What's so surprising about this anyway? The current G35 weighs 3500 lbs. It gained 150+ lbs. That is not a big jump for a complete redesign.

This is not to say i'm happy that it weighs even more than it already does. I think the car would be the undisputed best enthusiast's sport coupe in recent automotive history, if it weighed 500lbs less. But they had to stuff a bunch of crap into it, make it go "wheeeeeee" and not sound like a complete tin can (just... sort of like a tin can.. a quality tin can).

no compromise is for those who can afford the zondas, koennigseggs, mclaren, bugatti. the rest of us get bargain priced, decent quality interior, decent power, good looks, and a lard **** coupe.

like an NFL lineman, the G may be heavy, but it can move when it has to

Buy a sedan - they're lighter.

You know what's funny about these threads, is that if the G was much lighter w/ cheaper materials, less interior space, smaller wheels, engine, etc, people would complain about that.

you're right. I got this 2 tons number from some friend without researching it.

Yep. The same whining gets old after awhile, especially when it only weighs slightly more than a 335i and is bigger in every dimension.

I know, thus the "/end thread" after your comment, signifying nothing more needed to be said.
