i think he means sedan....why would he compare a 2 door to a 4 door?

i'd go for the G35 primarily for RWD.
The max is nice and "faster" (only 5hp) and its larger, but its FWD and seems like it would be a boat. the G35Sedan would be much more fun to drive.

G35...it's RWD, and much sexier than the Max, IMHO. Plus you get the benefits of Infiniti ownership over Nissan...better warranty, loaner car, better overall service.
Drive both, get the one you love.

I'd go with the G35 as I still think it's made in Japan vs. the Max is made in the States. You'd prolly get a better re-sale value on the G35.

If those are the choices, go G35. Drive them both, but C&D was complaining of massive torque steer in the Max, just like the Altima. They've even got a 6-spd G35 sedan now.

I don't think there are too many people that would pick a Maxima over a G35, especially now that you can get a 6 speed in the G.

No brainer. G35. Just as powerful and handles so much better than the Maxima. Infiniti service is a plus. Interior in G35 looks better to me. A loaded Maxima is 35k which is over-priced and plain ol ridiculous.

You can get a G35 sedan for 28k with leather and a sunroof which is a STEAL!!
