Few highlights..

sounds like me

I can't say I disagree at all

That means a lot coming from a new g35 sedan owner.

Everyone is happy with this article.

interesting article.

I'm impressed.

I wonder why! LINK

I don't know, my G retailed for $37k and with 11k miles the leather is not much better then what came on my TSX, I am a bit let down with how it is wearing. I don't think I'll keep it even another 9k miles so I'm not worried about it, but there is no comparison to it and BMW's premium leather. It seems foolish for infiniti not offering a premium finished interior, then again it is the bang for the buck car in the segment and with that lower price comes some lower quality, it is what it is.

Any word from Infiniti M owners as to how their leather is wearing??

Power under the curve is where it's at. Over on the LS1 board we fight about that all the time. You have the dyno queens over camming the stock heads cars, screaming out high ass hp numbers, but getting pissed when the right combo will lower peak numbers beats them in a race. It's all about power under the curve and torque. Peak numbers mean shit when the guy next to you is pulling solid power throughout the power band.

my leather is wearing fine at 21k miles (will have had it 2 years this October).

I have a tiny 1/8 inch "peel" on the piping on the outside bolster that my phone got caught on once, and there are some wrinkles marks on the spot below the left driver's thigh (i have yet to see a regularly driven car with leather without wrinkles in this spot), but besides that, i can't tell that there's any "wear" anywhere else.

fuck that, i still love the g37 =D.

after reading that article i was like- surprise surprise. but then again, after driving my friend's 335i the praise is well deserved. i haven't driven the g37- then again i don't think most of us have. i'd like to see how it compares to the previous G.

I was thinking of trading in my 04 TL 6MT for a G37. I like the 335i, but around here, it's simply too "Indian". IIT must be giving them away at graduation.

too "indian"?

It's the curry option package, right under the sport package.

...and here I am thinking only that only the Toyota Camry LE could be "too indian."

And here I thought the Camry LE was the "white bread" option...

I'm not! The 335I has two turbo chargers.

its not just dyno numbers. There is a 200lbs difference between both cars, that accounts for a lot. If the G37 wasn't such a whale, the gap would have been narrower.

other testing highlights worth nothing from the article include;

On 335i handling, vs G37:

"Skid pad: Cornering limits feel very manageable in the 335i. The limit of grip feels soft relative to the G37. Balance is excellent, and it's very easy to transition to controllable oversteer. Slalom: Again, the limits are very approachable and can't be pushed with comfort. Ultimately, the 335i is not as comfortable in fast transitions as the G37."

more handling coments:

"The 2008 Infiniti G37 might have softer lines than the 335i, but it's a harder-edged instrument that's quicker through the slalom."

imho- both are whales. enter the 1 series to satisfy the enthusiast.

OR E92 M3 if one is insistent on a 3 series.
