Default 370Z vs G37S coupe

i know this topic has been beaten to death, but i'm not talking about performance differences here. with a fully loaded 370Z comes in at the similar price as a similar equipped G37S coupe, for those of you cross shopped the two, what made you choose the Z? let's say number of seats isn't the deciding factor here.

i'm thinking the same way. imo, by offering the sedan version, it actually dilutes the G37 nameplate a bit.

Post-concept G37coupe was a ID mistake.

If I was 10 years older, the G would have appealed to me, but fortunately im 25 and still have to have my speed fix daily.

If number of seats wasnt the issue... and you could live with 2 - I would imagine that the less weight and more agressive handling (assuming the engine is the same ) will tip you in favor of the Z save for insurance-ish costs etc....

The G37 is the skyline in the rest of the world. So it has heritage. Basic differences lux vs sporty. It's that simple.

It depends on what you're looking for.
I choose the z so I can **** on people.
