Looks like an UGLY spoiler trying to distract your attention from the even UGLIER rear end.
They need to slice about 12” off the rear of that car and go back to the drawing board.

I'd have to see the spoiler in person before I made a judgment.

But I did see a spoiler-less G35 Coupe at the NY Auto Show and it is a MUCH better looking car than the CL-S.

Maybe I'll take mine without a spoiler..... I dunno......

The spoiler is kinda nasty...but the aero kit is tits ...Since their aint goin to be a CL in the future (?) ...it could be an adequate replacement (in 3 or 4 years )...

Wasnt there an article in Car and Driver or Motor Trend that said the G35 sedan was better then the 3-series (b/c of its similar performance and better value)...

Ugly spoiler.

While walking back to my car after shopping, I pointed out a new G35 to my girlfriend. She is in the market for a low $30K car and I am running her through the options. What did she say when she saw it?

"Where's the Infiniti? Isn't that a Hyundai? No? It looks like a Hyundai". HAHAHA Oh, man. I laughed for the next 5 minutes.

HEy, Dont u all be sayin shit about my next car, That thing is PHAT AS HEll , I love it and it will certainly be a great replacement to my cl-s. My only prob maybe my need for a SUV, i still love them. i may consider getting a MDX or even a used navigator or escalade, and then get some bling bling chromes
I definately willl be drivin that G35 as soon as its out, and i hope the price is around the same as the cl-s, around 32 loaded, so it will lease out less then 500. i guess we will se.

Kinda looks like a Kaminari Spoiler. I think it would be nicer to have a flat lip spoiler to accentuate the body lines.

Shawn is on the money: ugly spoiler hiding uglier butt. Nissan may be getting the power right on their models but their styling department is doofus.

The car you pointed out was a G35 Sedan. Totally different car than the G35 Coupe.

price

No way it'll be 32 loaded - the 350Z is 34-35 loaded, so if this is gonna be hitting the luxury mark with only a *slightly* detuned engine, you gotta figure at least 35-36 with all the fun stuff. Although, i am clueless as to how the sedan is currently priced.

It's a neat design - I've never seen a spoiler that's sticking out to the sides at the edges like that.

Not sure about the wing. But I guess that's why they call them options. It does seem like a good place to put your DayRunner...

I fell for the G35C the first time I saw her in person at NYIAS... She will be mine one day.

Don't like that particular wing but that could be the next "Flem-mobile"! I might even bring it over to El Bandito and let you drive it!

Like the styling or not, once this car hits the road.....the CL is going to be old news (just wait until the comparison tests), unless Acura does something for 04.

Hmmm... lemme see.... what can they do..... oh yeah.... they can drop the CL? That's the rumor. Not selling enough to justify existence.

I guess it will be about the same situation as the sedan. I looked at the sedan (to see if I should wait for the coupe) before buying the CL, and looking at what they had and getting the closest match I could, options-wise, to the CL, it looked like about 36K before tax & tags.

There's a lot that nice about the car, but that interior is embarrassing.

It's funny the extreme response to this car. I'm one of the ones in the "I love it" camp. I'm definitely thinking about trading in the CL-S for the G35 coupe. I probably won't get it as soon as it comes out, however. I'll wait for the demand to drop off a bit.

Responding to whoever said it will be $32k loaded. It will be more like $37k (maybe even closer to $40k) loaded. I believe it will be around $34.5k with the luxury sport package and the winter package. I don't have a NAV on my CL-S and I'm not likely going to waste that $2000 on the G35 coupe either. I love toys but I just can't justify it when most of my driving is to places I know how to get to.

Looks VERY tacked on, the NISMO spoiler on the NISMO 350Z looks as tacked on. The G35 sedan spoiler looks tacked on.

Can someone post pics of both the G35 Coupe and the G35 Sedan read ends. I wanna see how different they look. I have not seen the coupe in person but I don't like the rear of the sedan.

Ash,

IMHO, it's that dorky rectagular area near the trunk handle that throws of the sedan lines.

Thanks Integra...

I'm with you... Why they hell did they put that wierd rectangular thing on the sedan? At least in Pics, the coupe rear end looks much nicer IMO.
