Surprisingly the G35 has a ton of legroom. It's the HEADROOM that you have to worry about :giggle:. Either way, I say go test drive them both and go from there. That new HR motor is nice. But you can't go wrong with either choice

Agreed mate the newer IS are better looking than the 350Z and G35. Plus the IS 350 is rare while the 250 is common. Plus its a good price.

You can get an 04 Z for around 14-15k. In fact, I have a buddy selling an '04 for that price, has brembos some small mods and in great shape. You can put the rest of your money into some mods.

I disagree with that, and not because I own a G35. Rather, I find the new IS to be VERY bland looking, while both the G and Z have a much sexier design. In fact, looks wise, I'd rather have the an IS300 over the new 250/350. However, the 250/350s interior is much nicer than the 1G G35 and 350z. But looks wise, no competition

I would get the IS hands down. I drove a 250, and loved it. The G35s interior is . The 350z would be a great 2nd car.

looks and designs are all subjective...

i was never impressed with interior of the IS. from the outside, it does look good but it's not outstanding.

On the other hand, the Z and G are absolutely gorgeous from the outside. And they scream "sports car."

Coming from TSX, I wouldn't want to own another 4dr, so I would go with white 350z. (saw one the other day, fell in love with it).

the sticker on my 05 6MT was 19/26

how do you go from that down to being equal to 13/20?

your sticker is from 05. for 08 the EPA changed its testing methods so the numbers are more realistic(lower).
