I said the cars will drive differently, each will have it's advantages but day to day they will feel like different cars, just like the last generation. I am just talking about the way they accelerate, steer, the way the suspensions are tuned. I am not saying either is better, I am saying they will be *different*. That's it.
I don't need to defend my ride. I love my ride and honestly I couldn't possibly care less what a bunch of guys on a *g35* site think of it. I was responding to your ridiculous questions about why anyone would buy a 335i. The answer is: different people like different things.

Its all in the Test...
Testing both will solve this dilema for those on the fence, I really like the G37 looks better but still want to test them side by side on the sam e day so I can make sure I like the way they drive. I think for any car buyer to decide on numbers alone, they leave open a wide door to future re-thinking once they make their choice.
Hey PPants - you sure you dont want to change your sig to "moved, but rethinking???" LOL - JK
I know you love your car, but I would be interested in seeing your write up after your G37 test drive, that is if you can type with all the tears hitting the keypad at the same time!
Seriously, I have not made afinal decision, and if it was an option right now, I may actually choose door #3, the GTR. I hope pricing is more then just rumor by this fall so I can see if it is within reach by the time I save up over the winter, then I have to sae it may (if the price is right) beat out both the 335 and G37 if I can save a little longer and afford to buy up to that monster!
Then again, if I wait out the GTR...... there will always be a new car out there, so maybe I should just NIKE it.

Not by me, A man's ride is his castle, since we pay for the house but they keep giving us orders!
Before I get flamed, my lady does more then her share of the bills, so I was really only kidding...
But back on topic, it is not an easy choice so I could not fault you if I wanted, but I can't stop thinking about the GTR. If you like your choice, thats all that really matters.

I truely believe (hope) that infiniti does something down the road to respond to 335i. Turbo'd 3.7 V8 something to make bmw scramble like last time.
remember the arguments some of had about why Infiniti didnt put a v8 in the coupe... bla bla bla weight, and front to rear weight ratio... i believe it was all bs now its 3700lbs but my god can you image if they tossed a v8 in there.. the car would weigh 3850 - 4000. I stil say direct injection is the answer ... better performance like the 4.9 sec car some are asking for and possibly better 1/4 mile then 335i and better gas mileage. everything will be going directport so its just a matter of time.

it's 3770 lb's man! to be precise haha
maybe a rev-up engine that DOES NOT EAT UP OIL would be a good option.
but have you noticed that every time we talk about the g37 we either complain about performance, or looks or something?
i dont think it has the impact that g35 had. g35 had us love it from first sight and didnt have all the issues we're having now.
i say we drop g37 and we go corolla TT?

I agree with your points about the cars being different - which i think is obvious as ALL cars are different. Perhaps there are intangibles there that cannot be defined but that might draw people from one brand to another. I didn't bring that up because I thought that it was understood.
