Rode in a G35C 6MT Today!!!!!!
My buddy just got his G35C 6MT and took me for a ride in it today, man that thing has some power, it took nothing to get the rearend loose. At first I was a little iffy on the car, but after seeing it in person I really like it. Though it is much smaller than our cars, thus lighter so it doesn't need much more power to be a LOT faster. I can't wait till we go out to the track!

I just can't see buying a Nissan or as they used to call it, Datsun. I heard they dumped their money into engine and suspension engineering leaving nothing for the interior. Nah, I'll stick with Acura, which is the best all around value.

trying to get a lil V-I
saw one in first person the other day. Spoke w/ the owner briefly. He says he loves the car...no complaints yet. I have to say the car is very beautifully sculpted w/ the exception of the rear taillights.
I thought the 6mt wasn't going to come out until early next year?

I test drove a G35c AT this past weekend...what an awesome car, that thing hauls ass! The dealer wouldn't let anyone test drive the 6MT without a deposit, since they only had 1 and aren't expecting a whole lot of them.
The funny thing was, I saw a silver 03 CLS in the lot right down from the G35. Walked over to it, and yes it was a 6MT. I asked the salesman about the CL, and he said the it was just traded in for a G35 6MT.

The interior is a lot nicer than I expected. Though some of the stuff wasn't well layed out, you sit very low, much like a cockpit. The back seat is very small especailly if you have the front seats all the way back, fortunately at 5'6" my friend doesn't have the seat all the way back, but the rear headroom sux. anyone over 5'8" would be in pain. The trunk is redicoulously small. The 6MT wasn't really suppposed to be out till early next year, but there are a few trickling in, he has the first one in this area.

I haven't test drove the G35C yet, but sat in one at a car show. I also liked the seats - low and kinda deep, the bolsters come up around you to keep you in place on those tight turns!
I also didn't care for the interior much...I didn't like how the whole dash moved up and down with the tilt steering wheel. I wish someone would combine Acura interior with G35C exterior.
My lease is up in 18 months and right now I will get either another CLS or G35C as replacement. I like how the G35C looks more modern and different from other cars...Decisions, decisions!!
