Nice looking car, but I hate the fake plastic mesh around the headlights and the back lights makes it look really cheap...I'd expect that sort of thing on a saturn, not a supercar. |
Firstly, why would you fake plastic? What would you make it out of?
Secondly, it is probably carbon fiber, for a car like that. |

ps. i hope ur talking about the G35 COUPE, cale.
^ :nervous:
:p |
Everyone has the coupe man, change it up a bit lol. My colour is rare, plus it has the aero package, and it's a 6 speed manual. I test drove the coupe but bought the sedan because it was more practical (I had a coupe in every car I've ever had before this). I would never buy the coupe, but that's just me lol. I see coupes every friggin day, but I've only seen a sedan like mine once. I dunno, the sedan has seriously grown on me and I love it lol. |

The G35 was a wonderful car and still is a very good car, but I wouldn't spend the money on an early-model G35 now. My '08 Altima puts the 03/04 and even the 05/06 G35 to shame, primarily because of the Xtronic (or whatever they call it now) and the better V6 engine Nissan started using in 2007.
I'd wait for a used G37 to come on the market, personally. If you're really anxious, at least wait for an '07 G35
Just my opinion, take it or leave it. My dad's got a G35 so I do have a lot of experience with it, I'm not talking out of my ass here. |
Why if you had the choice, and you did because you bought a brand new car, did you not get a pure manual transmission? I dunno, it never makes sense to me why people do this, it's just so much more fun to drive a manual. You don't race anyone, so it doesn't matter that the transmission can shift faster at all lol. To each their own I guess...
I personally hate the styling of the new G37s, it looks so similar to all the other luxurys in it's class. The older Gs have a very unique styling that I feel looks much better than the new G37s.
Also, I would hope to hell the G37 would be made better than the G35s lol, it just kinda makes sense doesn't it? Brand new model, brand new styling.... |

I agree with everything you said except the driving manual part. I have paddle shifters and it is much more fun for me than driving stick. I love the throttle blips on the downshifts and when I accelerate its just much faster. Faster = More Fun |

Also this is absolute nonsense, blip the throttle yourself when you downshift. Heel-toeing is so much fun if you can do it in your car. |

Some girls do...some girls dont really care.
I went through many stick shift vehicles and have done heel-toe shifting but I still find using the paddle shifters much more fun. Thats just my opinion son ;) |

I just feel it totally disconnects you from the car and the road, even in a vehicle with a proper sort-of-manual like a Ferrari. |

I do understand what you are saying but in my car...they did an amazing job with the transmission. I felt the same way you did but as soon as I started driving the car I changed my mind. The blips are instant and the change through the paddles is superquick, just 100 milliseconds if you're counting. I believe Ferraris are 100 milliseconds aswell. |
