Like I said before- there are plenty of cars out now that are priced lower than their older counterparts. And the 350Z is a perfect example.
That alone makes the "sheep" think it's a screaming bargain, huh?

I'd love to know who all of these people are that you're talking about..... you know, the ones who buy so far beyond their means and end up screwed. I certainly don't know anyone in that situation.
Most people can't AFFORD to turn over a car every 2-3 years, and that's proven simply by their taking 4-5 year loans on them but still trying to be as "hip" as their neighbor (who actually can afford turn it in in 2-3 years) and still going in for a new car and rolling their debt into a new loan/lease while their neighbor can actually afford it at his income level.
It's nothing new, it's nothing shocking. It's the simple reality of how many Americans think and behave. They act on feelings instead of reality. They listen to the voice saying "don't worry about that debt, we can roll that into this nice NEW car that meets your NEEDS. Get rid of that old thing you don't even WANT anymore." It all sounds good. Many wrong decisions do. People go with their wants and feelings instead of needs and what they can really afford safely.
I don't care, I'm just mentioning it since it's the root cause of the topic we were discussing. If you can truly afford what you buy and don't have revolving debt, you are thinking properly and living within your means. Congratulations! =p

The same guy who said the CLS was the shit and talked trash about Nissan.
Then sold the CLS, got an SUV and talked smack about the CLS.
Totaled the SUV within a week or something, got an Audi and went to bed with the Germans.
Then sold the Audi, bought the G35 sedan and now thinks he walks on water with the sedan.
Phew... I'm outta breath.

Tom was always the one that could raise an eyebrow or two. He used to have a tagline in his sig that sais "Tom - the voice of reason" which is why mine said:

STOP! you guys are going to scare away the resident a$$hole again.
tom2 is very opinonated, and may come across as arogant at times, but at least he presents logical agruments. SO what if he is a fanboy of whatever he is driving? like thats the first time we've seen this behavior on the forums?
Z mafia anyone?
he is usually aggressive, but at least he doesn't punk you out, or threaten you, like our e-thug, zeroday.

As someone said earlier, if you want a 2-seat sports car, get the Z... If you want 4-seat sport-lux car, get the G35c... Both are great cars. Neither is necessarily better. They are cars for different purposes.

What I find strange is that Car and Driver got the same time for the coupe (14.2), but the 0-60 time was 5.5 seconds. That would make you think that the sedan, with a time of 5.9, would be pulling harder from 60 mph on, but the trap speed of the coupe was 100 MPH, so I guess not.

Please... So I'll spend the two hours trying to "prove" you wrong. OK, I'll get right on it.
The problem is, if I was the only one claiming this, I'd probably have to back myself up. But when other, senior members here are saying the same thing, isn't that proof enough?
All I know if this topic started out as a G35 coupe vs. 350Z thread. And then you come in,
