its funny how everyone says theyll still love their lexus or prefer their lexus or say how it copies a lexus or something else. No one asked them to say that. i think we just want to see opinions from each other of other vehicles. of course we prefer our lexus', but its okay to say another car is nice.

. I can guarentee CL members are not responding because they may be afraid they might like something other than lexus...
Wasn't it you DROD2045 that said that?? Thats why I'm mentioning I love Lexus...kind of would explain why I have 3 now. And don't get me wrong...Im not afraid to admit if I like another car. I can tell you now...that I LOVE the BMW 330ci, BMW M3, and last years model of the BMW 7 series!! I can't believe they ******ed up the new model!!!

But anyways, just wanted to clarify that with you!!

I think it's a nice looking car (the Coupe)...I would definitely consider it over an IS300...

Lexus needs to make their cars faster...period. Luxury and all that is great, but people also want big numbers...

Yeah, that's a pretty classy looking car but I would choose the 350Z above it.

Thumbs up

That car is very impressive looking.It does resemble the z but appears to be longer giving it less of a "sport coupe" look and more of a 2 door car appearance if you know what I mean.I love the rear look of the car also the appearance of the front grill and headlights.I personally think it blows the z away.I would take it in a hearbeat over a couple of lexus and for the price range over a number of other cars.Also I think the G35 if seen in a color other than silver would appear more unique seeing that most pics we have seen of the z have been silver.This car in say black dropped with some top notch wheels....mmmm.This car no f$%#N joke In my opinion, its the real deal!

P.S Thanks for the pics.

No joke for sure. Nissan's plans for the new Z is to be better than the Boxter in more ways than one. Well, actually I think they want it to be better than the boxter in every way. The borschure's more than hint at the fact.

I know, but the two are very similar. So with such performance coming from the new Z, the G35 will be similarly impressive.

Thumbs up Nice

That should be the new Z its much nicer and I love the front end its real clean.If they come out with a turbo for that it will be a real beast.Only problem is that its a Nissan and im not a big fan of some of there past lemons.

this is an Infiniti, not a nissan. Just like a lexus, its not a toyota, per say. Look on reliability ratings, Inifniti is second. Lexus, of course, is 1st. My mom had a G20, no problems ever.

I do agree with drod2045...Infinitis are reliable...so are Nissans for the most part. I had an 85 truck...that my dad bought new in 85...and then I ha it for a while and sold it to my brother in law...he still has it today and it works and runs just how it did in the past!! No problems ever!! 17 years!!!

I also had a G20...and again...no problems!

Lexus needs to make their cars faster...period.
So the GS430, LS430 and SC430 aren't fast enough? My goodness.

I never understand the "X car needs to be faster argument" Are people only going to be happy when their 3-4 thousand pound sedan can do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 12?

Totally boggles my mind why people need that type of speed other than to just try and brag.

As for this G35 coupe, it looks nice like the G35 sedan. Should be agreat car.

Oh and about the initial poster's comment on this couple having the best factory stereo he has ever heard- I am guessing you have never heard the Nak in the old GS/LS sedans or the new Mark Levinson system.
