The Infiniti G35 has been named the Car of the Year by Motor Trend. And it is well deserved...

http://www.motortrend.com/motor/features/news/nov02news/112_021120_coy

I believe that it is well deserved...

1. 280HP V6VQ Motor - Maxima derivative... SOLID motor
2. RWD
3. Dual Exhuast - Looks Awesome from the factory!!!
4. Sport Designed and Tuned Suspension
5. This 6spd thingamajig...
6. Interior fit and finish is superb
7. 14.2 at 99MPH STOCK
8. Right around $30k price tag

But...
It's pretty hefty though, around 3900 lbs. And the insurance will be high, for theft and power.... It is not cheap either.

But damn, what a ride.

The coupes are absolutely beautiful in person, and the sedan is just sweeeeeeeet. I'll take some pics when my step dad gets back from DC

I want the sedan to come with dual exhaust:mad: and while their at it 280hp :D

Actually the coupe comes in at around 3450 lbs and the sedan is a little less.

by the way, what network can i find motor trend on? And where has car and driver gone to? It's no longer on speedchannel.

Try checking TNN. I'm pretty sure they have other automotive shows on there besides MT. I would think MT is on there too if it's not on SpeedChannel

I wouldn't mind buying one, if they changed the rear tail lights. The front and side styling is perfect, don't know what happened to the rear. Other than that it's a great car (rather have that car than a 350Z by far).

I like the tailz and what makes them better is that they have led bulbs.

I want the Z and like the Z better but the I35 would actualyl fit my lifestyle better. I wonder how much the price will go down after it's been around for a while.
