Anyway, like all new designs in anything. It takes time for it to grow on ya. Also, to me looked good in pics, but the pics didn't do it justice. Some cars or some other beautiful things just look best in person.
Are you sure the G35s sold alot compared to the 3 series? last month alone combined G35/sedan + I think lexus IS sold total 6k+ cars while all 3 models sold 12K+ :rocks: :rocks:

Trolled through the G35 forums and found that 98% said that the new design was a let down, and many of them said the same thing about it looking like the sedan and being too far off from the concept.

Because no one can. Not even Porsche, with their 400+ hp 3.8L H6 in the GT3 can get more than 300 lb-ft from a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder motor. The only sixes in production making that kind of torque are using forced induction.

the front end didnt change much really. instead of two front lower air dams, they made one large one. that basically is the only difference. it changes the entire look which is why many of u think it got beat with the ugly stick. but u should reserve opinions until their is a comparison pic of the old verse new coupe. keep in mind the e92 was way fugly when the first pics came out.

you're right, I didn't like the E92 when the first batch of publicity photos came out, but seeing it in real life, it's

i agree with canucklion and others....the initial photos were a slight disappointment, but these ones are phenomenal. how could you not like this car!!! it's HOT!!!! to my eyes, it looks nicer than the 335i coupe.

I really like it...slightly looks like an Aston Martin from the side and especially because of the cut of the rear passenger window. ^^;

I just think it needs to grow on many people here. I know many are gonna be BMW-bias but i think its a good looking car. Not as classy or business-oriented as the 335i but still a good car. And with its low price tag, I think it will give BMW alot of competition, which is always good for the automobile market.

I'd say nonexistant unless you are under 4' tall. When I was in my friends tiburon on a 2hr trip to Boston my head was pressed against the back window the whole way. I can't imagine this any better, look at that slope.
