I like the shape, but I also admit that I'd be tempted to compare it to the Lexus IS350 - nice shape and 4 doors for easy access.

Its similar in power and class. I think the coupe is a bit sportier. I have to admit I miss the growl from the V8

I can understand a G35 sedan,
especially with AWD.

A g35x makes a great daily driver.

But, a G35 coupe?
Should have bought a C5.

My thoughts after 48 hours of ownership:

I give it a 9. Best all around car I have ever owned (most expensive too). I wish the Nav was touchscreen, but you get the hang of it. The power is GREAT for a V6. Its quicker than my c4 was. My biggest complaint is the seats. They are not the most comfortable. You have to sit in them just right for them to feel okay. All the bells and whistles are nice. One touch moonroof and windows up and down are nice. Comfort access is great. No key ever! Its not a corvette, its not better or worse. That is an apples and orange comparison. I recommend it to anyone!!

Congrats on the car they are definitely quick shouldn't be faster than your c4. IMO a great performance buy when compared to those in its class... but be warned about the tampon comments as it does have one in it's first aid.
