VLSD is not standard on G37s. It is standard on g37s with 6MTs or as an option for the journey models (coupe and sedan).

Anyone buying a G37 without a 6MT probably doesn't need or care about a LSD.

And they probably think that LSD expands your mind...

It expands my mind as it tightens my line.

Same MPG? by upstatedoc

Maybe I missed it somewhere in this discussion but how does Nissan squeeze out 100 more HP in their G37x V6 vs. the Bimmers in-line 6 328ix and get the same mileage?

I don't know that they are squeezing out 100 more horsepower... The Nissan engine is 23% larger..
 
No comment on the mileage, other than most G owners don't seem to be overly happy with their results...

*edit*
 
The Gx gets better city mileage while having 100hp more. I think it probably is the new 7 speed auto vs. the bimmers 6 speed?

G37 Coupe Lease by cavok99

I've been waiting for the cost of money on the 09 coupe to come down since December. Does anyone know if historically the lease factor will make a move down after March? I'm looking at 12K a year for 36mo.

Test drove both today..
 
The 335i convertible is impressive. It takes off like a rocket when you floor-it.
I did notice an odd engine noise and possibly mid-body feel as I floored it, like something was wrong. Not sure what that was. But this car can climb a hill with acceleration some cars can't do down-hill! It's incredible. Must be the low-end torque.
 
Overall I liked the G37 better. Possibly not fair, though, because the G37 was the coupe, not the convertible. Dealers won't let you test drive the convertible until you make the paperwork like you're going to buy it, then you can tear-up the contract if you drive around the block and decide you don't like it. That's what they said. Ridiculous, isn't it?
 
The G drove better, felt more poised with tighter steering, groaned the right way when floored, and felt like it had more power. It also comes with more bells and whistles for $10k less sticker than the beemer.
 
as an aside, I drove a lexus is250 convertible (the 350c is not yet at the dealers) and it's a piece of junk. I'm not kidding, a prius has more pick-up.
