Really? I find the G35 coupe to still be a great looking car, one of the best in its class. The interior is just so-so, but the exterior is nice.

There's a few more changes.

The front bumper, rear spoiler, headlights and tail lights.


I've always liked the G35 Coupe.

Wow. Good call. The Infiniti logo contributes to the overall effect, too.

I think it's a beautiful, refined(exterior) coupe you can sure tell who his older brother is...

Typical Nissan-designed interior. Mediocre at best...they generally don't impress me. The new wood trim, however, is a definite improvement .....something they should have had from the beginning.

But come on.....brown leather seats with a gray interior?

I think that's due to the lighting, it's actually black, not gray.

Not aging well? Still fairly new? Isn't this year 5/5 for the design? Nissan runs on 5 year cycles I thought, which is why coupe is all new for 07, right? Anyway, the G35c is still hot, despite that huge all-up-in-your-face rear bumper.

G35 sedan was launched as an early 2003 model that came out early 2002.

G35 coupe was launched as a 2003 model that came out fall 2002. ( & I happen to like that rear bumper too )
