I need four seats... A 2+2 design, such as the G35C won't cut it for me...

Yep, it's my next car for sure. Someone posted the MSRPs in Car Talk.

Scrib: 4 = 2+2 = 4, no?

i thought it was pretty nice when i first looked at it, but a cls tops it any day, its heavy and unless u plan to keep to keep your car stock and enjoy their inovative (weird) interior go for the cls

Not exactly...

It does have "4" seats...

But the back seat is super small. From what I've read, a average sized person will NOT be able to fit in the back. If you have small, kids, you'd be fine. I read that a 5'9" man, 150 lbs couldn't fit in the back. His head was hitting the glass back window. I'm imagining it will be just like the Audi TT and it wasn't even close for me, and I'm 5'8" 150lbs.

It does look sweet in that pic, but I'm gonna have to see it in person. Something about the rear window/quarter panel just looks wrong.

hardly any bolsters on the seats....the cars alright...except i wont pay the 7K markup....maybe if there was no markup i wuld...but besides the point, infinities lose their value twice as fast relative to a normal car

That is a preproduction car in those pics. People who have seen and sat in later cars just recently say the bolsters are bigger. And it is selling at MSRP now not a markup. After the preorders are done with, it might go below MSRP I'm guessing.

I went to the NY show with 5 people and we were all like "Wow".....it was one of the highlights at the show.

So, I'll have to check it out at the dealer to see if I still have the same reaction.

Like I said, most people like but not all.

These are some pretty pictures of this car, esp the one soopa picked out. I like it. Need to see it in person, esp since C&D gave it their blessing.
Even those rims are nice and the gap is not too bad in the front and rear is fine.

I love the look of the G35 Coupe and it's sibling the 350Z...why can't Acura throw a little caution to the wind and give the CL styling like that. I mean, I love the CL but let's face it...it looks like a sedan with two doors...not an exciting sports coupe.
G35C's flavor of styling, Honda performance, quality and reliability...we'd have a segment leader. Heck, a segment crusher.

I always thought the interior of the G was bland... Although I do like this shot...

Too bad Infinitis don't hold their resale...

Autoweek just posted a new blurb up about the G35C... LSD option down the road would be nice.

Have you guys read what Road and Track tested? This thing does the slalom only 1/10 of a second slower than the Porsche GTII. It is faster than almost every other production car made. It holds a .91G on the Skidpad... Imagine lowering it and putting some bigger rubber on it.

I bet it will beat out the 330 the first time they go head to head.

I know that this has been beaten to death, but...

Pros:
1. Rear Wheel Drive (if this is really a pro for a street car)
2. Sporty stock package available (6 M/T, 18" wheels, Brembro, etc)

Cons:
1. Ugly
2. Ugly
3. Overpriced with options
4. Datsun/Nissan quality
5. Nissan cheap ass interior
6. Fugly
7. Analog Clock
8. Pop-up Nav system
9. Ugly headlights/tail lights
10. Nasty Ugly rear half of car.

Oh, and I think it's a little ugly.

LOL. I'm trying to eat lunch at work while browsing the forum and I almost spit up my sandwich.

I love everything about the G35c EXCEPT the price and the looks The interior is ugly, and the exterior (front and rear ends) are even worst (fugly is a good word to describe it).

It's kinda funny that I do like the 350Z and the styling of the G35c is similiar to the Zcar, but the G35 (coupe or sedan) does nothing for me.
