Nissan's off-the-shelf braking components are pretty good ... my Sentra SE (4 wheel discs) stops just about as well as anything else @ about 130 ft 60-0 mph.

How about AWD for the coupe? Up to now only the sedan offered it. I didn't see it listed here on the new coupe specs. That is the one thing the coupe needs the most....although, like in the sedan, the interior trim improvements are a good idea. Interior quality was one of the previous car's weak points...like many Nissan Products.

If Infiniti would now put a decent set of all season performance tires instead of te crap they currently put on the car, I might actually give it some serious consideration down the road......the G35x would be nice for the Canadian climate.

Very nice the G35's, I'm not surprised they made the adjustments why wouldn't they, these are the two thats getting them back into the race so they have to keep the G's healthy.
Lexusfreak - I'm sure your local wheel and tire outlet would be able to remedy your concern.
I think that both cars were improved nicely although I'm not a G35 sedan I can appreciate the needed changes, they did a good job.
Its interesting how many here are ranting and raving over the great number of Lexus units sold. Maybe if I got a cut of the sales, a check or something from Lexus for being a customer or gain some sort of equity on my cars I'd get excited when I see those numbers increasing. Because I get little to no benefit from those #'s I can care less all its doing is making my job harder and harder to bargin at the table regardless of being a long time customer. (sorry those #'s distracted me)
Anyway back on topic,
for Infiniti.

Rumor has it that the sedan always made 280hp but it was marketed at 260 for some reason. I heard some ppl did dynos and and concluded that there was no way the engine in the sedan made 260hp. Would anyone like to chime in on this one. But 298 in a 6 cylinder, is out of this world. I love it. Even though the 300C and SRT-8 make a hell of a lot more power, I think I am more impressed with these #'s simply because it is a considerably smaller engine.
