Its called perspective. In the front view the G is closer to the camera. In the rear view the Z is closer...

Um...the Altima couple looks just like G35...not the G37...get your eyes checked. :0

I just went to infiniti.com and priced a G37s with tech package and similiar options to my 37k 370z. it says:
Configured MSRP* $44,585.00

I paid 40k after taxes. with 44.6k, i'd be paying 48212, which is 8k more. sorry, I am a little wrong but not 3-4k bucks wrong.

THe G is definitely more expensive than the Z but it is a little more refined and has two back seats. If I didnt need the back seats I'd go for the cheaper and faster Z though....

Ha ok, best friend had G35 and we totally agree. To each their own. G37 would make more sense for me so I really wanted to like it.

kielbasa16 03-18-2010 11:56 AM

I happen to prefer the G35 styling to the G37 as well. IMO the G37 lost a bit of the sporty look from its predecessor. Still a great looking car though.

Lemers 03-18-2010 04:16 PM

I didn't like the lights and grills of the 350 or G35. So I think Nisaan made an improvement on both.

Redline37 03-18-2010 04:55 PM

Simple solution:




Get both. Win win :roflpuke2:

So now were paying msrp for cars are we? I got my 08 g37s with nav otd for 44k, really don't want to argue anymore. The z is the better car anyway.

EgoTrip 03-19-2010 03:56 PM

In my opinion:

The 370 is a sports car.
The G37s is a sporty car.

As a daily commuter, especially in the snow belt, the G37 is the "smart buy". But if I was starting from a place of practicality, I'd be looking at a Accord Coupe.

NeedforZ 03-19-2010 04:38 PM

I tend to classify performance cars in these categories.

Sporty car vs. Sports Car vs. Race car

cruzmisl 03-19-2010 04:58 PM

Both cars a head turners for me. Love to see them drive by.

I love to drive mine, but I never get to see the gorgeous exterior in motion...

HAHA, I'm turning 28 this year and I second to the supporting fiancee. I test drove the G37S as I also had that same question, but until you actually sit in one and test drove one, you'd realize instantly that the G37s isn't a real sports car and it doesn't give you that fun and excitement you'd get in a Z. The looks of the Z is much better, and at my age, I don't plan to have kids so I can deal without the 2 seats in the back. As for the money I'm paying for a fully loaded I could get an Infiniti G37s...which to some people think it's better because it's like a luxury brand and you're moving up in life if you're being saw in one of those. But my honest opinion is that I don't like the looks of the G37s, it's all bubbly and the front is just plain ugly. I apologize to people who owns it as you may feel different, but that's just how i feel about that car's looks. It just doesn't look sporty at all; you sit much higher off the ground, and it doesn't handle as well. Sure infiniti has a little more amenties, but I still prefer having a Z because it's a much funner car to drive (plus it has Syncro-Rev, which the G37S does not have)

Last year I saw 2 brand new Silver fully loaded 2008 G37S that's been sitting at the dealership for almost a year old (b/c of the economy crisis) for $35K (before tax), I woulda paid less for it than my fully loaded 370z and prolly woulda gave me more of a Status symbol than what I get with a "Nissan" brand. But in the end, I knew I'd be lying to myself to what I actually like if I ended up with a G37S.

Btw, I may offend a lot of people for saying this, but I think the G37S is a nice car because of the package it comes in for such a price, but when it comes to exterior looks, the 370z wins hands down.

cruzmisl 03-19-2010 06:17 PM

Well, you are in a 370z forum, so I doubt you'll offend like-minded people.

They're gorgeous cars for distinctly different audiences with different tastes. My GF doesn't like the 370z at all but likes my G.

gnarf 03-21-2010 09:29 AM

if the 370z came out a bit sooner, I woulda definitely picked it 2 years ago cause IMO a 19 year old fits better in a Z than a G37..for me it was either a 40k Nismo 350z vs. a 40k G37...I went with the G

guy fisha 03-30-2010 11:31 AM

the z is just way f-ing cooler. james bond had a Z! whats cooler then a 2 seater. its also way more agressive in terms of styling. it's unique. i see 2 to 3 G37 a day in rockland/westchster county N.Y. when i want luxury i'll get a bimmer or benz. why half step it? get that z in solid red or p.graphite. "places to go, people to see, porsce's to pass" Z

Me too!

Jamaica 03-30-2010 12:12 PM

I love my z because of no backseats. With the four seater I feel like theres people behind me.

I totally agree with the why go half way with the luxury part. I know the only argument I'd have is that it's bang for the buck....but I've sat in a G and the interior and just everything isn't comparable to a Lexus, not to mention a Bimmer or Benz.

The other day I went into a Benz dealership with a friend and he drove a G and the dealership sales man, and he didn't know what an infiniti was.

Then I have another friend that went into a Mazda dealership with her b/f in her G and the sales guy was like "what do you drive, is that a Toyota Corolla?" ...she was pissed.

Sure we can all agree that these sales guy can be ignorant and just plain stupid, and some may even say the benz sales guy just like to think their brand is the best and don't need to know other competitor brands. But either way, more reason why I wouldn't pay a $40K+ for an Infiniti. At least a Z it's reputable in it's own way regardless of the rest of the crappy Nissan line up.
