I like the GS interior better. I had the G35 sedan for about a month. Performance was great but I didn't like interior/exterior styling that much. The G35 seemed small to me.

I agree with all of you regarding the intirior quality.
I owned a 93 sc400 before the G35 and SC400 was better inside and overall quality of the car was higher.
If you guys think that gas mileage is better with the g35 , your wrong. ON my SC400 with driving it hard i would get 17mpg easily. With the G35 its scares me a bit actualy, sometimes i wonder where the gas disapears, i get as crappy as 12 mpg in city with hard driving. I get 17mpg when i drive like a grama, it sucks driving like that but keeps my wallet with a bit more cash.
Performance wise : the G35 even with a 4 door sadan and Auto with just intake and exhaust , its pretty fast. I get as good as 5.8 0-60 and 14.3 1/4 mile measured with the Gtech SS (its pretty acurate) and handling is pretty good, i do have the sport suspension though so that helps.

Still I miss the refinement of a LExus and the smoth power delivery of the v8.SO im thinkng to myself maybe I will sell the G35 in the spring and find a nice GS.....

As far as performance parts go, the G35 has a great deal of bolt-ons more so than the Gs400. Remember, the G35 shares the same motor, tranny, and platform as the 350z. Take a look at parts from Stillen for the G35..Blowers, headers etc. are available for this car. http://www.stillen.com/browse.asp?c=PE Naturally, you will get biased responses regarding the g35 since you are posting here. I gave you my honest take on both cars. I've owned my Gs400 for 7 years now, and test drove the G35 a few times at Atlantic Infiniti in Long Island. Remember, which ever car you choose it will be yours to drive & take care of, not anyone here.

I would go for the GS, The seats are more comfortable, Drive is much smoother, Look is just too damn good, and plainly I think the only G35 that should be compared is the G35 coupe. THe sedan IMO is very plain and no offence to anyone but it is ugly.
