New Addition to the Family

Just picked up a 2007 G35 Sport last week. It is extrememly cold here right now, so taking these pics was a bit of a pain the a$$. however, with that being said, this new G (I had an 03 coupe as well) is pretty nice. The interior is way more upscale than the previous gen, and the driving dynamics are second only to the BMW. Exhaust note is killer, seats are nice (but not as good as the bimmer), and the Bose Studio on wheels is good, but I prefer the HK Logic 7. I know I sound like i'm favouring the BMW, but this car is a hoot to drive, and I love it. If I had to give one up though, the BMW would win...but this car comes a pretty close second. Just installed my winter set up...the car is great in the snow (as good as the bimmer). I got a great deal on this car (invoice....long story),so that's why I got it.

My wife loves her E90 though, I've made her a BMW convert.

On a related note, we really are expecting our 2nd baby on April 10th!!!!

Here are the pics:

Nice car. Sorry about no being an infinity / nissan guy, but whats the differance between the S and non S?

Is it just like a sports package?

S denotes 'Sport' which is kind of like the BMW sport package. You get:

Larger brakes
18" stagerred wheels (7.5 in the front 8.5 in the back...hmm sounds familiar)
Magnesium Paddle Shifters (with rev-matched downshifting)
Rear spoiler
Aluminum pedals
Sports seats (with power bolsters)
Sports Steering wheel
Limited Slip Differential

The G35 doesn't have the disadvantage of having to not upstage the M's. If there was no M3 I'm sure BMW would offer this to us as well.. it'd probably be standard.

Anyway... very nice car I really like the new G35s I can't wait to check out the new coupe when it comes out.

nice!
How's the handling?
If close to the e90, then G35, all numbers added) is definitely better deal than the bimmer...except for the badge thing

handles great...haven't had a chance to push it yet as there is too much snow.

only complaint is that steering is overboosted at lower speeds, but once you get going, it is very BMWesque

The E90 is a better car to drive, but the G is a very close second

LOL

I am a member of freshalloy (this is my 3rd infiniti), and I posted that the E90 is a better car overall. most people are nice on the freshalloy forums, but I find that they don't post as much as you guys do
