Default Saw the G37 in person...

I saw it in person and I must say that the dark silver the dealer had is probably not the most flattering of colors for it but the car looks pretty good overall. I was a bit skeptical seeing the pics online, but I must say, the body lines and rear end look quite different and the car overall has a different "feel" to it compared to the first coupe. While the overall shape is similar to the first coupe, they are very different looking.

I didnt have a chance to drive the car, though I wish I did from the way people were talking about it; all the test drives were scheduled solid until about 3:30pm.

The wheels look great as do the large rotors and calipers behind them. The interior is definitely an upgrade and the new nav looked pretty cool (though I didnt have a chance to play around with it).

All-in-all, it looks to be a very nice car and it was interesting to see people shopping for BMWs coming over to look at it (a BMW dealer is next door and people "heard" the new G was there). How it will sell, we'll see, but no less, it's a nice car!

I didn't have a camera - I didn't actually go to see it, went for service and it was just there haha Apparently, the dealer had their unveiling last night.

I've seen the car looks great in person just as good or better then the G35c and the Altima coupe has a waiting list to get, I'd bet the G37 will be the same

I saw the car in person thursday and i was in complete awe. The dealer had a black on black loaded G37 sport.

I was shocked at how stuning it was in person...this car has emotion and sexiness all over it when u look at the lineage.

I actually think it looks better than the 335 coupe

Its a superbly striking car. Wish i had remembered to take pictures



p.s. also saw an S5 today in front of an A5 both with florida dealer plates.. you NEVER EVER see cars that have not released on the road in texas. I went crazy seeing the S5 in person for the first time shocked cuz i couldnt believe what i was seeing on the road.

I saw a silver one and I agree that it will look stunning in black.

The interior is also quite an upgrade from previous coupe. They
have done a nice job on this car. It could've been EVEN better
had they used the concept's front.
