something about those taillights need to go. I dont know if its the shape, or the shade of red. reminds me of a 6th gen maxima with a handle on them. i didnt feel like reading the whole thread on either forums, can anyone tell me how he got the car. All i saw was that it was a media car, but I have no clue what that means

I say the Lexus IS-F will give this car a run for its money. But then, does that car go up against the BMW M3 (08) or the G37...?

All personal opinion here. I personally didnt like the car when I first saw it. But the more and more pictures that surface with the different offered colors, have made me have a change of heart. Especially the IP pictures posted.

yeah, I was just messing around with the photoshop. it's still the stock headlights. (just covered up a bit) I figured someone would make an eyelid or something so they don't look so swept back. I don't know what to say about the tail lights though. yuck.

Although I like the car and am buying one, what I'm not crazy about is this one aesthetic "mistake": on the G35's profile, the rear quarter panel sheetmetal extends right back to the top corner of the rear deck and the taillight is under the sheetmetal up in this corner. This makes the rear of the car look longer because there's an unbroken line swooping rearward from the roof and down the C-pillar to the top-back "corner" of the car.

In contrast, on the G37's side profile, the forward edge of the taillight abruptly cuts the sheetmetal just behind the gas tank cover. I think this messes up the line swooping back from the roof and visually cuts it short, and droops this otherwise strong line downward with the leading edge of the taillight. It's the unintentional bending of this important character line that I dislike.

I knew something bothered me about this right away, but I had to study it a while before I could articulate it.
That said, I'm still buying the car!

You couldn't have said it better compadre, the 1st Gen. G was a hit and the sequel although improved can't measure up in the design department. Lines aren't as "free-flowing" think as more "crowded" or "bulkier" and less "lean".

The car is far from ugly overall but lacks the "boyish charm" of the original.
Think of it as the first Austin Powers (The G35) then if not for mini-me (330 HP, new dash), the sequel (G37)would have been a dud.

At first there were many things I didn't like about the G37's design, the taillights were #1, but they were that way on the G coupe Concept as well. They stayed virtually unchanged from the concept which didn't make me happy, at least they didn't use the pulling teeth style of the exhausts from the concept, looks like if I stuck a pointer finger in each side of your mouth and stretched it horizontally.

I liked everything else about the G37 especially the front, the bumper makes no difference to me as the standard two slit made the car like too pointy (as on the concept). But when I saw the G35 and G37 comparison photos for the first time, it really does make the G35 look outdated and dull in comparison. I like the lines of the G37 as it gives it some definition. If anything the 37 looks leaner and defined to me, the G35 although classy looks kind of matte and bulbous in comparison. One needs to look no further than the side door to see this, the 37 has a nice character line, with a nice deeply creased side sill that gives the door a lot of definition. The G35 looks rather plain and flat in comparison.

Hurts me to say that too, because I've owned my G35C for a while and really love the overall look of it. The G37 is a definite improvement for me as I am slowly getting over the rear as more pictures are released.
