Traded in the TSX for a G35c

I have to say the G is a dream come true. Sports, Premium, Nav.
The TSX was awesome, very nimble compared to the G. A light and free feeling ride, I'm going to miss it. The Acura Nav blows the Infiniti away too.

The board is great, I'll still be coming here for info. Keep up the good work!

Just over $41 with all the options. Aero package and Sirius.
There are great lease programs now to take advantage of.

My friend just got a white 2006 G35c for $40k loaded. Definitely a GREAT looking car on the outside. That was my dream car when I first started looking but the price and interior turned me away. Sometimes I do regret not getting it......the 2006 aero lip spoiler looks even better than the '04/'05. And those LED taillights....*sigh*....they are so mesmizing on the highway...

Wow nice.. G35's are sick.. I dont think he bought it for the interior i think it was more for the exterior look and the extra hp and torque those babies come with... no car is perfect and that car only lacks the interior design just like the tsx lacks hp/torque.. like if the tsx has 300 hp and 200lbs of torque id say its he perfect car.. aside great buy have fun with it...!

do they have a new spoiler for it this year? the oem spoilers i've seen for that car looked like a painted skateboard nailed to the trunk.

I love the G35c!

This car is the chick magnet unlike our TSX unfortunately.

I would've waited until next yr though and get the next gen G35c

DAMN!.....Love those G35 Coupes. They are what you buy if you cant afford that 911 yet. Look so sweet, and the sound of the exhaust is so nice. I can always tell when a coupe is driving by, even if I'm looking elsewhere.

Congrats on an awesome car. $40,000 is a little above my budget, but if I had the cash, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat.

Here is the new spoiler.


Much nicer interior than older models I've seen. Intelligent Keyfob. No key needed but no push button start either =\


Sexy Nav. No touchscreen though, stupid joystick.

Looks like it's dropped from the factory.

The rest of the interior is not as nice as the TSX, but the G35 leather definitely puts ours to shame

Are they the same size, just -2's? I think I have 245-40-19s in the rear.

No, I heard it would be released in Spring 2007.

This fall 06 is the next gen G35 sedan and spring 07 the next gen G35 coupe. I know I read it in the off topic automotive news section there.

I just want the next gen one because it will have a nicer interior and even more exterior.

He had an 05 with the same rims, so it should be a problem for you. He only had them for one winter, with minimal driving.

The size are F/R : 225/50-17 and 235/50-17 respectively. PM if you want to work something out or are interested.

Are you supposed to wait 6 months to wax a new car?
