Audi's S4 engine is a V8 producing 340 hp and it's 4.2 liter for instance. I think the VQ is great.

but since you're at it, could you have an explanation about the dead hooker body in the trunk of the G37?
I think it's great too, I never said it wasn't. What I said was it is an old engine (at it's core), which is why depsite the output the gas mileage and general thrashiness of it are poor. The 340hp 4.2 V8 in the S4 and the FSI in the S5, are stupid smooth, and deliver better MPG than the VQ; that's the difference between old and new.

PLEASE help me understand why you're here... I do genuinely want to know. (this is not meant to be taken as an attack or anything... I honestly do want to know)

I want all of this to stop right now... I am sick and tired of posts like these because they're really offensive to me since it's pretty much directed to me. You're ruining my time here on this G37 forum... just you. I'm fine with everybody else... well excluding one other person who I will not name. If you want to attack me... please, do it in private tells. I want this to cease, end, whatever... just please leave me alone. I have no idea what I did to deserve this... you make me feel like the whole world is against me and it really hurts that there are people in this world like that. *sighs*

I apologize if I have hurt you in any way because I really don't mean to do it. A lot of people misunderstand what I say and it's difficult sometimes to get the message across the way it should be because it is the internet and not real life.
Is this short enough? Please, mantisg35, I really want all of this to stop. It's really sickening.

No, it's more the bitches, fool and taunting stuff. You can continue to hate on the G37 for all I care as I know where you stand on that.

Should be clear enough, sir

You can rant about the G37... but please make them constructive and very valid and not the kind of posts where it's like "The G37 sucks." and "The G37 was made to make the G35 better. HAHAHAHA." I'm not saying that you made those specifically but those are just examples of what I mean. I'm talking about the posts that specifically target me and others... I can give you so many posts to where it involves me and other people if you want. Those must stop or I will have to resort to talking with a moderator. But thank you... finally all this crap is done (don't take that negatively).

I actually agree with you. I haven't noticed a G35 on the road in a long time eventhough they are everywhere. That's why you modify your car but I really wanted to settle down with the G37 if I end up getting one. We shall see.

You quote that like you disagree? Since when have product replacements endeavored to be worse than their forebears?

True, I see your point. However all the little gadgets are worth the extra weight IMO. I for one prefer the new GPS screen design over the old one. Wouldn't want to give that up to save the 200lbs difference. Ok, it may not account for that much of a weight difference but I'm sure all the new things adds up close to it in the end.

i actually meant that one. because after the number of G37 i started appreciating my G35 more. It performs almost the same and IMO it looks better.

My neighbor has an OB G35 and I have to say that that thing is always washed and gorgeous and it is probably what got me hooked on looking at a new G. It wasn't until I started researching the G Coupe late last year that I found out about the 08 model change. Since then I have been on the Infiniti train and want this new G Coupe to get here in a bad way. My order is in and there will be no test drive, and I will honestly report what I like about it and what I don't like about it when it gets here.

Can you please reword that? I apologize, I can't really understand what you're trying to say with the "You quote that like you disagree?"
