Very nice car. Lots of feature similarities to the E90 3-series from the adaptive headlights to the paddle shifters in the sport version. Non-sport G35 sports 17" wheels that look like Type 161 BMW 17" wheels, while sport versions have 18" wheels. G35 "Comfort Access-like" door handles feature buttons, and ignition is via start/stop button. Rear side windows feature E90-like Hofmeister kink design.

The sword-like Grille design is a very nice detail, and the G35's new headlight design looks more aggressive and similar to the E90 sedan's IMO.

Seems like this new G35 was designed with one important objective--to make those already very familiar with the E90 Sedan not miss many features if they transition to Infiniti.

They took half of the interior details on the sport from the 3er. Thats why the thing will be so popular.

Infinity is the luxury mark of NISSAN, but japanese and american designing are pretty much the same.

my thoughts... I can't stand the g35's... Now more than ever. I think that car is a fake ass cheaper version of e90 for people who want to spend less but still compete with the bimmer.

"Lights move left when you turn left"... You mean BMW's adaptive headlights?
"Samari bumper"...Same as the e92's only smaller and more rectanglular
"Technology package"hahahahahahahaah... You mean comfort package with idrive??
"new designe headlights"... Sooo you mean like bmw's "facelift?"

Ever since i got my e92 all these damn g35's want to race me, today i saw a new model g35 that i never saw before, FOLLOWED ME FOR MILES TRYING TO RACE ME... i'm breaking in my car at 300miles now, so one opportunity i got i slammed it to 3500rpm and then shifter and that's when he pulled up, then brought my speed down and kept driving... I can't stand g35!

Ps-To each their own - this is my opinion
PPS-The bimmer still looks more classy, sofisticated, sporty, and... well... top notch

When my wifes lease on her G35 is up, Im pretty sure we will get the new one. Its a sweet car no doubt. For me, it has a bit too much hard plastic on the lower parts of the doors and dash.

The new VQ engine is really nice compared to the older one. I was very impressed when I test drove one a few weeks back. A lot of bang for the buck (more bang than my 325i). I was a bit tempted to drop the 325 for one...

it'll be very interesting to see how the 2008 g coupe compares with the 335i.
NA vs turbo though.

Why does the competition - like this cheap ass infiniti - copy the signature design elements like "Hofmeister Kink"?? This really pisses me off!:mad:
