Good looking car. They actually kept it below $28,000!

Lexus or Mach1? Hmmmm

Been away for a few days, when was this format changed?

Here are some cool profile shots of the G35 coupe with some different aftermarket wheels (photoshopped) on @ http://g35driver.com/rides/spec/pix/...1031100631.jpg


I like many here have a difficult time imagining myself driving any thing else then a Chevy Camaro and an import is certainly the last on my list of cars that I would usually want.

The G35 coupe is the first import in a long time that I like and this is even considering that I think Infiniti is an "old-man's brand" like Lincoln and Caddy.

The new prototype SS that GM is going to be showing at the 2003 NAIAS better be a hint of the next Camaro to wet my appetite and keep me in the Chevy fold or might be looking elsewhere next year.

It looks better than a 350z, and has the power to back it up.

If i want a 4door, i get caddy ctsi, but for a 2 door coupe daily driver, i want it, starting to save up my money now. That or a 90-95 300zx TT. =)

It's ok I guess, I'd rather get a 350Z tho

It too bad that the 350 Z is only a 2 seater. If i decided to buy a two seater someday I personally rather have a used Corvette over a new Z.

Having seating for 4 is what makes the G35 Coupe so appealing and is one reason (of many) why I still think my 94 Camaro Z28 is such a fun and practical car.

WoW!! Those pictures of the G35 coupe in red look fantastic. I checked out the official specs and i was pleasantly surprised to see the HP is actually 280 and not 260 like I thought.

That car only gets better the more i know about it. i just wish it had t-tops or a removable roof like the Vette or the defunct Toyota Supra because sun/moon roofs dont provide enough open-air-motoring and a true convertible is usually too expensive.

Oh I didn't see this thread. I just posted a link to some other pictures in the lounge today. But I definitely like it. I'm not to crazy about the rear, but the rest looks awesome.

Acura already has it's CL Type-S, which i think looks boring. But I wonder if Lexus will release something to compete with it.

I like the G35 styling, but not the interior. My wife and I looked at the Acura but went with an IS300 instead.

As an aside, for those who think GM is quality/customer relations is bad .. go take a look at www.acura-cl.com and click on the "Tranny Problem" board.

I think there were rumors here on CZ28.com that Toyota was bringing back the Supra with V8. A Lexus version of that might be interesting ...

Here's a guy selling a new G35 M6 on ebay @ http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...768993392#DESC

He has some cool pictures of the car that I havent seen before.

You know, I like everything about that car except it's steering wheel.
