I don't know if anybody has seen the pictures of the interior and exterior of the '05 G35. I have and I think that the new interior actually looks worse for the '05 model. Additionally, the exterior changes to the hood and front also look worse. Now, the M45 is a head turner and looks better than the RL.

If you LOOK at most ALL CARS UNDER 30K they have a cheap hood prop. Most ALL CARS OVER 30k HAVE a Gas Struts. That is a FACT. Jeez.
So Audi hoods don't use Gas Struts? The Jag XJR is all Aluminum. It has gas Struts for the hood as well.
The G35 is a great car period. But the FACT is Nissan cut it's usual corners to make it as profitable as possible. Why do you think the G35 starts at 28k compared to the ES and TL that starts at 32k?

Lets not go there guys. This is a public forum and everyone has a right here until the policies change. I think this is a great board and if they start moderating heavily, then it will lose part of its appeal. I think everyone here has interesting viewpoints and this board isn't as heavily biased (brainwashed) as other boards :cough: lexus boards :cough:...

FYI, the Honda Accord has gas strut props for its hood, and it's not a luxury vehicle.

It's the V6 Accords that have gas struts for the hood.

1SICKLEX...... shouldn't you be spending alittle more time on your website? Especially sense it's primetime for web traffic and you only have maybe 10 people on it? Trying to bring Acura members to your website is not going to work....(try something new) And how did Acura members put up with you for the last 4 or 5 years.

Sense you did so well, what did your car win? I'm sure you have lots of pics from the NOPI nationals. (sense you made history) Would love to see pics of all those trophies. Of course pics of your car sense you really know how to build one. And all those trophies and probably none for you, or a Lexus.

Sigh, I can't believe I am going to respond to you failed abortions. That is why you guys get no pussy, are probably barely making ends meet and have to pose in your Acuras. Take my man Ward. Great car, 04 TL. What does he do? To make it look like a BMW or a more expensive car, he throws 20s that can't fit on it, then for kicks, gives it a staggered setup on a FWD car. That is the gheyest shit you could possibly do. Your mother wants to kill you and piss on your grave.
Then u have 03TL-S. Probably on his 12th tranny. Between him dropping his step-dad to work to borrow the car and him acting like its his, the car won't make it. This is a guy who most likely, spanks his fucking monkey 4 times a day. He beats it like it owes him money.
Both of you clowns don't have 10% of the automotive knowledge as myself. You guys go to your friends house, read his Car and Driver, read a couple threads here and think u know a thing or 2.
Ya'll don't know shit. God himself mourned when that spem hit the unlucky egg and created you 2 wastes of cells and DNA strands. So please go bark up another tree.
If your mothers weren't whores (not post whores, but real whores just like your grandmothers) and had any idea who your father was, I could somehow trace the monkeys or camels u 2 queers came from........
U fucking beastiality bastards.......
GAME OVER!
