Aliga-why wasn't it fixed? that doesn't look like enough damage to total it. salvage title?

chuckb: who knows what the insurance company thinks.

i can think of a couple of things: the insurance adjuster had greasy palms and wrote it off (happens often)

or the car was stolen and recovered after 30 days, and the insurance co totals it.

Since you don't like the G35's interior (and I agree with you...I don't care for it either...up to this year), have you checked out the Mazda RX-8? I think you would be happier with the RX-8 than either the S2000 or the Miata. The RX-8 is a little more comfortable but still has a firm ride.....and the steering has to be experienced to be believed.....a good Mazda tradition.
Just make sure you keep extra cans of oil in the trunk....the Genesis rotary engine DOES use it.

You asked about the 2005 G35 interior....it HAS been improved, at least to some extent. There is a beautiful Rosewood trim package for the center console now. I looked at it at the Washington, DC Auto Show and the difference from last year's is striking.
The only real problem with the G35 is that there still is no AWD for the coupe....a situation that the Infiniti reps are aware of. They have gotten a lot of complaints about that.

And as much as car mags like the G35c, they seem to love the RX-8 as its beaten the G35c twice in different car mags in comparisons.

Yes, the RX-8 interior is really great.
