Well another sellout!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After much debate and many test drives, I purchased a 2004 G35C 6 speed, premium pack, aero pack and Sirius. Brilliant Silver with black interior. Absolutely love this car. It came down to this and the TL. Started out at the Infiniti dealer, then went to the Acura lot. I test drove the car and liked it alot but in the end it reminded me alot of my CL ( which I kept by the way). The sales gut at Infiniti told me no test drives on the 6 spd coupes and no discounts.
So after I drove the TL i called the Infiniti store and talked to the GM, he still said no test drives but took $1500 off MSRP 
Anyway if i knew how to post pics i would but I dont so I wont 
Just love this car After they cleaned the car the pulled it out front beside my CL, and looking at the 2 side by side, I couldnt believe how far out of the segment these two cars are. I felt bad and really wish Acura would step up with a comporable coupe

Bed your brakes properly. There's a good thread on freshalloy.com that discusses it.
All performance brakes squeal a bit... I'll take it considering the way the car stops.

Brake squeal with the Brembos is normal at first. It goes away and then comes back and goes away again. No big deal. Your biggest challenge is no WOT for 750 miles.

Congrats on the new car, I hope you love it as much as you love your rattle monster.
I drove a G35 sedan before the CL, and I didn't feel comfortable in it, but I guess now it would be a different story on the 6speed.
My Acura dealer does test drives on the 6 speed, for the CL(when they sold them) and the TL. I think this is a great thing to do as it helps make the customers happy.

Arent the rattles a feature
and yes Acura had no problems letting me drive a 6 speed TL (it was a demo). The funny thing was Id rove the TL 6 demo and it already had a rattle

Not rich
My CL-S has 52k miles on it and is worth far more to me than what i could possibly get in trade. Plus I live in Ohio so we do get snow. I figure Ill drive the CL on rain/snow days and let the mileage catch up to the year

Nice car though.

But I wouldn't want all those scratches on the cheap dash either.

Ignore him, everyone else on the board does.
Congrats on your new purchase, and good idea to use the CL as a winter beater.

If people would stop buying cars without a test drive dealers would stop that crap. There is no way I would ever buy a car from a dealer that won't let me test drive it. If they are afraid of putting miles on the cars they should have one demo car that everyone test drives.

:P BTW - I wish I could get by with a 2dr coupe, I'd trade my TLS in on a G35C . . .

I wrecked my car last weekend and the first cat that I thought to get was the G35C. I did drive a few cars on Monday. These cars consisted of a S2000, WRX and a G35 sedan w/ 6speed. I really liked all of the cars I drove but the G35C is still the bench mark.
The big problem w/ the G35C is finding one. The dealership here is ABQ doesn't have any for 2-3 months(6 speeds). So, I had to call all of the dealerships in El Paso and Phoenix. I finally found one in Phoenix and the Dealer is willing to knock $1500 off and ship it here for free As soon as I get word that the CL is totaled the deal is done. I just hope that I hear from the insurance before Mon. Which is how long they're holding the car for me.
