agreed. it's too organized and clean, it's dry and boring. G's new interior doesnt look as good in pictures as in reality. I didnt like the 07 G35 sedan that much in pictures but LOVED it in person

IMO the 3 series has managed to be the only car that looks better without a modern screen. I do not like the strange hump.

It looks better without it, much cleaner. Still, I do not think either look better than the new G. I do agree the materials are still of a higher grade, but the G interior makes up for it in other ways.

I do feel a "modern warmth" as Infiniti likes to say with the new G. I see a stark and barren interior with the 3

Geez, after looking at those pics of them side by side, how can anyone continue to post that the 37 is somehow weaker looking....first gen looks downright frumpy next to it.

I agree. The g35 is my first love infiniti wise but the g37 just looks sleeker to me. I wish the comparison was made in an other color beside silver.

Yea, I noticed it was taking a while to load, but if you click on it again...it will take you to the actual youtube site. Then it will load up instantaneously. Hope this works.

50whp difference...... What the heck!?

Time to buy a VQ37HR and stuff it into my first gen coupe. Nah, forget it, it's cheaper to buy a G37 and paint it Caribbean Blue. (ie Automobile magazine cover)

G37 @ 3500? I bet we all wished.

Here's the official specs: http://www.nissannews.com/infiniti/2...oupe/specs.pdf

Nearly 3700 for the Journey with Sport Package and for the 6MT.

But what if this was a one-time fluke? What if that first 335i was a particularly strong example? Or--gasp--a ringer! The answer to that question appeared in the form of another 335i (this time painted space gray metallic) that BMW dropped off last week. Again, without hesitation, we grabbed the keys and headed for the dyno shop.
why dont auto magazine just go buy one off the lot!! Doesnt make sense if BMW drops you off another one they could have tuned it up higher than a stock one we would buy

If you look at Journey vs. Journey w/ sport package, it is 3624 lbs vs. 3682 lbs.

So in essence, adding 19" rims and 14" brakes makes for a 58-lb increase. That's 14.5 lbs per corner. My guess is the rims are cast not forged.

Just downgrade from 19" to 18" wheels and downgrade the 14" brakes to 13" brakes and you'll be ~3600 lbs. Eat one or two less steak dinners and you can probably get under 3600 lbs.
