Default Why a 370Z, Why not a G37

Guys,

I have been wanting to ask this question on this forum for a while now. Hopefully I wont get flamed by posting this topic.

Both car has about the same HPs and Torques.

But G37 has these and Z370 has not...

Luxury, European car alike interior, beautiful exterior styling and fits four adults

so why you chose to get a Z370?

It's a lot sportier, and it is slightly less expensive. G37's are nice, but I wouldn't have been happy with what I could get for the cost of a Z, and it wouldn't be as agile in the corners. Just personal experience. Hope that helps. Also, I think the Z looks a lot better in the exterior styling dept.

1. Looks better
2. European Design? If I wanted European... I buy a car from Europe, not Japan??
3. Styling, see #1.
4. If I wanted to fit more people, I wouldn't buy either. All I need is me + 1.

Sadder is that when my girlfriend and I walked out of Target, she walked towards an actual porsche that had a dark grey color.

me: "Honey, that's not my car."

gf: "OMG, it just looks like it!"

The Z looks better IMO and performs much better than the G. It is lighter and more agile. It's also cheaper to buy and maintain. These were my 2 choices for cars when I bought mine earlier this year. I chose the Z because of better looks, performance, and price. Everyone I knew told me to get the G and every single one of them told me I made the right choice once I brought the Z home

The G's styling is much more subdued. Its really a more mature, luxury-oriented ride. This is not something I wanted in a 300+hp vehicle. Yes, there's a certain value in having a sleeper on the streets...but that's not what I was looking for. While the G may have turned my head back when it was a G35...I find that the G37's body lines really don't do it for me. I like the Z's sexy hips and azz much more.

Also..there's something to be said for not having to be the one to haul your workmates around when it's time for lunch.

I bought the G37. Needed the lux sport car not just a sport. But wiht that said I am buying the wife a 370 after she complets her masters. So i'll have one of each
