#20 of 39 WOW it's ugly by nygamble Apr 04, 2007 (5:37 pm)
Engine spec's sounds lovely, but the exterior looks very ugly. I had high expectations for the new g37 after looking at the concept. It better be cheap or something, cant wait for the inside line's video for this car against i335 bmw. My money is on the 335. Basically, g37's back looks so ugly to me.

Replying to: factfinder (Apr 03, 2007 11:16 am) While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I think your observation is absurd. The new G37 looks bold & sleek with the performance to back it up. I'm thinking the same. It's not looking better than the old design but it's not ugly. I would buy it if I did not get the '07 sedan 3 months ago. Replies to this message: thenebean (May 07, 2007 9:52 am)

Replying to: torontog35c (Mar 25, 2007 3:29 pm) saw your post and since you had a coupe for 4 yrs wanted to ask if you had unusually high brake repair expenses over the term. Everyone I've talked to or every review I've read talks about needing 'brake jobs' ridiculously low intervals like 17-20,000 kms. Is this your experience? thanks Craig Replies to this message: pat (Apr 09, 2007 6:05 am) redg356mt2005 (Aug 07, 2007 6:55 am)

Replying to: KarenS (Mar 21, 2007 10:56 am) Put down my deposit and am no.2 in line for whatever comes in that somewhat matches my specs. I predict 335 HP when it arrives. Get it...335? huh, huh!! Replies to this message: blov8r (Aug 31, 2007 5:32 am)
#25 of 39 the new G37 by jkminfiniti Apr 23, 2007 (10:44 am)
i think its a great car and it looks nice. Wait until you guys see the car in person side by side. Trust me youll go with the new one. I can't wait until the car comes out this year. Honestly, What is going to compare with it as far as performance, intelligence, style?
#26 of 39 G37 --can't wait by g35er1 May 05, 2007 (5:25 pm)
I currently own a 2005 G35 Coupe Sport - 6 speed, and I love it...I can't imagine how much I will love the G37. Previously to my G35 I had two BMW 3 series (a 323i and 325ci)...they don't come close to my G35, even the 330 which I test drove before deciding on the G35. Infiniti has really found the right mix for a great sport car. Can't wait for the G37.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Apr 06, 2007 4:35 am) you have to see this car in person to appreciate it. and i don't know why infiniti decided to pick such a boring bleh color to introduce it with. if you look at some nissan/infiniti forums/fansites you'll see it in red - which looks HOT!! -thene
#28 of 39 G37: If only manufacturers would listen to consumer comments... by ldogtriton May 18, 2007 (10:08 pm)
I'll just go back a little... Remember when the Chrysler 300C concept was unveiled, it was almost a unanimous vote that the styling was HOT! When the production car finally came out, it was just like looking at the concept car and BOOM.. one of the hottest cars made in 2005! Now if Infiniti was paying attention, they should've realized that from the comments received when the G37 concept was unveiled, you would think umm... let's keep the body (exterior styling) exactly like the concept. Now that they've watered it down, it actually looks more feminine... not at all aggresive. It looks okay, but in comparison,(concept to production) night and day. Besides after reading alot of the threads, the positive response went from like 90%(G37 concept) to 50%(G37 production). In short, LISTEN TO US!!! The interior upgrades and performance is a plus but without the styling to go with it...
#29 of 39 Poor Comparison by kman9 May 22, 2007 (7:36 am)
Why was the test performed with the 07 335i vs. the 420 hp. 08 BMW M3? If they are going to compare future models not yet in production and/or available, why not compare apples to apples? Obviously, they want to compare now while they still have a chance. If they beat the new M3. I'll take a closer look. Replies to this message: torontog35c (May 25, 2007 2:45 pm)
