Check out the G35 coupe

I like it more than the 350z as for the overall looks.

What do you think?

Very hot. From the pics I've seen of the new Skyline prototype, Nissan's very fond of that body style.

Looks better than the 350z.
Very very nice car!
It's not even that expensive.

Why cant all cars have cool interiors like this?
Not even talking about the materials. The design is top-notch.

Thats pretty cool. Anyone know how much it is going for? It looks like they just copied the Lexus SC430.

Unfortunely, no numbers are out yet.
But looks like starting at $31k.

That is what some people are saying....Looks like the 90s sc430.

Got to give it to Nissan, it does look better.

Notice that door handle is different?
I wonder if Lutz's (GM's CEO) comment had some influence to change it.

The press is saying that it is offically starting under $30k like the sedan.
It has standard VDC/TC that the 350z has as option.
It claims 275+ HP on the coupe as opposed to 260 for the sedan.

And 350z has 280+.

Looks too similar to the 350Z. Compared with the Z, you are paying a bit extra for luxury and LESS power. No thanks.

Nismo is to supply a supercharger for the Z car.
So that 5 HP difference is not going to matter.

But as for prices, I hear that you could potentially get the G for
less than MSRP while above MSRP for the Z (status symbol).

So if you look at it this way, getting the loaded Z is going to cost the
same since what is as option in the Z is standard in the G.

Unless you are planning to go to the track with it, it is not going to make a difference.

I like the G more because the line is a little smoother. And no ugly handle.

Does the G35 coupe have the rear strut tower bar (arch) like the Z?

I cannot see it in the picture.
Maybe someone that is going to the NY carshow can tell us.

I doubt it tough. The reason is that it is a 2+2... might need that area to put the tiny rear seat.

Either way, would like to know more about the NISMO supercharger when it is official. Since it is a dealer install option, it might be expensive though.
