G37 vs 370Z

A G37S Coupe was my first choice (with a family). Actually, a Sedan first, but got dispensation from the better half to look at Coupes. I had an '04 G35 C 6MT and loved it.

The reason was more practicality on my part: 4 seats (we've got two kids). It was primarily my car to drive, but I thought I'd like the take the kids once in awhile.

The G drives smoother and easier, but it doesn't have the same driver's appeal. Decent for a sports coupe/sedan, but of course, won't hold a candle to a two-seater. Have you test driven a Z yet? Instead of a "boat" with a large engine, it feels more like a large engine with a very thin piece of sheet metal wrapped around it (ALL engine!). Sports car with the Z? You bet!

The wife surprisingly agreed to the 370Z towards the last portions of my shopping, especially after she saw the 40th color (and the price - she was against the Cayman S (used)).

If there's any question about functionality and ride, the G would be a better fit.
