I currently own an '05 G35 coupe and to be honest, I found the IS350 to be a much more enjoyable and sporty drive than the G37. I was profoundly disappointed after my test drive of the G37. My G35 is a much more visceral drive. If it were me choosing between the G37 and IS350, I'd go with the IS350 hands down.

I happen to love both cars. I have been shopping around for my friend who was considering an IS350 and the G37 and she went with the G37 because of price. She leased and lexus wanted $600/month+ for IS350 w/nav. She got a much better deal on the g37. Has most of the same features as the IS minus the cooling seats.
While I do prefer the body style of the g35 coupe over the g37, they definitely improved the interior.

I agree with those who say it's hard to get objective comments regarding the G37 on an IS forum. But I will say I love my new G37.

We were all objective shoppers at one point. I had no preconceptions either way when I started shopping. I spent time in and around both cars (and others), and I objectively decided that the IS was a better car for me. So I bought one. Just because I now own an IS doesn't mean I can't be objective about it and the competition. I'll be the first to point out the flaws in the IS.
Now, how many times did I use a form of 'objective'? I was going for 5....

It’s the old story. Over on the G37 forum they usually put down the IS350. But both are great cars. It’s a matter of personal preference, need and price.

Well, I agree with you. But there are few who are not that objective around here, like those who think the G37 is just another Altima coupe, or the poster who didn’t think 330 hp was a big deal, or the one poster who said, “I personally think the G37 is ugly on the outside, they screwed up a great design.” I don’t find that particularly objective, when you consider the differences with the G35 coupe are subtle at best.

It has also been awhile since I was in a nissan, but I wasn't very impressed even with the updated G as it compares to the Nissan interiors that I remember. Again, people who love the G can probably get over these shortcomings, but I couldn't if it was my money.
Finally, I agree that calling 1st gen G better looking that 2nd gen G is a bit ludicrous, though I, for one, wish they have been less 'subtle' with the redesign.

See, an Infiniti owner woudl never use the word Nissan if he could help it. For $42K I never want anyone to think I'm driving an Altima coupe.

Now there you go, a restrained, but still a jab at the G. Suppose I had written:
