I thought you guys might find this interesting. On Edmunds.com one of the writers compares his experience of driving their Long Term 2007 G35S Sedan to the new G37 Coupe.

He doesn't mention anything about the performance of the G37 as that article is upcoming, but what I did find interesting is that he mentions that despite the interiors of the 07 G35 sedan and the G37 looking identical, the feel of sitting in the G37 Coupe is noticeably different than the Sedan.

Here's a quote:

"The two G's interiors may look identical in person and pictures, but I was surprised how different they feel. Most notably, I felt like I was sitting lower in the G37, leading to a greater feeling of being enveloped by its interior, rather than just sitting in it like the sedan. As a second opinion, the similarly heighted Dan Edmunds (who drove the G37 more than 1,200 miles) confirmed I wasn't crazy. This furthers the sportier feel and character of the coupe. The lower seat also provided more thigh support and legroom for my lanky legs -- I certainly wasn't expecting a coupe to be more comfortable than a sedan."


Check it out. What do you guys think?

 

Interesting for sure. Thanks for posting. If this is true, I wonder why that's the case.

 

I'm 6'-3" and all legs. I'm liking that a lot.

 

that's good news!

 

same with the current generation coupes and sedans. the seats make a big difference.

 

I feel like ther eis a similar difference in the current gen Sedan/Coupe. You sit a little higher over the hood line in the Sedan than in the coupe.

 

do you know when the review is coming out?

 

Are you my brother? We are both about 6'3, and he lives in Chi town!

I have to say for a coupe to try and squeez 6'3 in to a good driving position will be a good thing. I can't remember how close I was to the roof in the 335, but I did fit ok.

 

The bad news here is the G37 will probably be even more expensive than the sedan than we originally anticipated. I think Infiniti intentionally tries to make the G37 as different from the G35 sedan as much as possible.

 

Its the same way in the current coupes and sedans. I sat in a friends sedan and it is so high up. The coupe is more like the Z in feel.

 

it's the seats that look the same but feel different. even the 07 sedan seats feel so different than the 06

 

Another edmunds article (G37 vs 335i): http://blogs.edmunds.com/?14@12.dOTQbIiChMb@/karl/525. Not to spark another debate, but just an interesting article read. Its obvious the guy is highly biased towards BMW. Also it doesn't sound like he's very educated on the new G37, assuming the shifter is the same as the sedan....

 

There's no way the 3 is a better car. The G37 has a better interior, many many people said it handles better, WAY better looking car, more options and features for the money. G37 is fast as an E46 M3.

 

mmmmm so lucious, how can sp,e guys not like the front bumper? To each his own i guess but i like that red pic, just needs a drop of course.

Cant wait to sit in one myself, i wonder how different it feels from an 05 or 06

 

That front bumper has drastically grown on me. I honestly really like it. I think with a drop, it will look beautiful
