Why a 370Z, Why not a G37

red6spd · 06-23-2011, 02:00 PM

G was about 10K more then what I payed for my car. And like others said the Z is much better looking, with that said I really wanted a G37 Sedan 6spd but once again I was looking at $40K+ VS the 34 I payed for my Z.

The Z is just so cute and seats are so fuzzy and cuddly. It feels like the interior wraps around you like a nice cozy blanket.

The G37 is ok too.. but it's not as warm and fuzzy :/

I looked at a G37 coupe when shopping for cars and chose the 370X for the following reasons:

1. I was coming from a 2 seat sports car and thought I might want a back seat but after seeing how useless the back seat was in the G I figured I would never ask someone to try to sit back there.
2. Weight! The G is damn heavy!
3. I actually preferred the interior design of the Z over the G.
4. Styling, I kept noticing G coupes on the road and it would always take way to long to determine if it was an Altima coupe or an Infinity.
5. The closest Infinity dealer is an hour and a half away from me and Nissan is 15 minutes away.

Very well stated! #2, #4 & #5!

And another thing that was mentioned earlier....I can't stand the new G's grill. WTH was Infiniti thinking?

I'm 21. Honestly, if they were the same price, I might have ended up with the G37 coupe since it's more practical as a DD.

I was looking at cars back in January, for used 09 370Z or 09 G37 coupe both 7AT. The G37's were around like $32k for one in good condition and I got my Z for $26k. That was a significant difference for me and one of the reasons my parents even let me get the Z over the G.

You have an Audi posting on a Z forum...I feel like that faux bullet just went right through your foot...

I'm going to assume you mean in a controlled environment i.e. track, as discussion of [Illegal] Street Racing is against forum rules...

Im 27 and have a Z, good call.

I actually test drove a g37s and probably wouldve bought it as well. It was definitely as fast as the 350z I had at the time and handled great. I loved the interior and it had navigation, so that was a plus. It also had a major scratch/gouge(sp?) in the door which I did not like and the dealer wanted nothing to do with fixing it, so I passed. Found a leftover 370z and got a good deal.

Previous to this, I did like that Z's were lighter and felt more responsive to G's. Its not to say that I wont own a G in the future though.
