Possibly the most tastefully modded Infiniti/Nissan product I've ever seen.^

I never had the urge to buy a G35. It's nice looking and performs decently, but I rather have a 350z, same car but lighter and drives better.

I had a 350Z but it just didn't have enough grunt. The 370Z will be worth a test drive.

Up here you see a lot of women driving the G37, and it closely resembles the Altima. I guess it depends if you want a nice looking performance car or a nice looking car thats a slug. Although you probably get more options with the Nissan.

If appearance is on top of my list I would have gone for the TTS. Now that's a sexy car. Hell even the S5, it blows the 3xx, 1xx and Gxx out of the water. I do still really want a TTS as a second car. Its pricetag can buy me a M3 tho. Mmmm M3 or TTS, no brainer! M3.

Yea 370z, supposedly more power and 200-300lb lighter than the existing Z. I won't believe it until I see it.
What would be really interesting is Nissan dropping that v8 engine they have in the FX50 into the Z or G and price it around a 335i coupe. Now you have some real competition.


From autoblog.

Quote:
Due to go on sale later this year, likely after an official unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the 370Z will be packing the same 3.7-liter, VQ37HVR V6 found in the Infiniti G37, with output estimated at around 335 hp and 278 lb.-ft. of torque (JDM spec). Best Car spoke with the Z34's Chief of Production, Shinjiro Yukawa, and he revealed that a special edition model is being considered that would significantly raise the performance of the new Z by fitting a V8 underhood.

The new car will come in about 100 kg (220 pounds) lighter than the outgoing model, and equipped with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed sportshift-equipped automatic. Double wishbones will suspend things up front, while a multi-link arrangement will handle duties in the back. The top-spec S and ST versions are expected to roll on upgraded 19-inch wheels, while lower models make due with 18-inch hoops, and Brembo 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brakes will halt forward progress on the high-end models.

I use to drive a G35 and i thought it was pretty nice. It was reliable, never had a problem with it. With the BMW, i had condensation in one of my headlamps, break squeal, and faulty adaptive headlamps.
But driving a BMW does get more chicks
My g35 was modded to the max TT, body kit, rims, everything. But now i just say i drive a BMW and it gets a way better reaction.

That is one sweet looking white G37,,, and its stock man.

Whats the deal with the G37,,, body lines its the same as a GT-R.

If you need just turbo it,, and you have a RWD GT-R... at a fraction the price.

Hate to say this but I'd take the G37S. The 1 is just to small and cheapish looking for my tastes. I'm sure it's more fun to drive though.

IMO, I would take the G37S and that exhaust note is intoxicating!

The cuts on the lamps are a bit much. I think it is going to be close to the pic. I don't think it is a PS either.

I got an email from a local dealer that they implied they would sell a G37 at invoice and give you a free Apple Iphone3g if you were to buy from them within the month. I wonder if it comes with the service too
