I have an 05 CTSV and while it's nice, it's still got the American car issues. I hadn't bought an American car in 20 years because of build issues and those nagging items like door handles, rattles, vibrations, etc. I figured the V was the cream of the crop so I picked up a used one a few years ago at a discount. Well the power is nice, brakes are outrageous, and handling is decent. However, the issue lies in that it has those usual >50k mile issues inherit to most American cars.
I realize that the G37 sedan is NOT a Z, but as others have mentioned it's the same chassis, motor, and drivetrain. Obviously heavier and a longer wheelbase and not as much power as my CTS. I just picked up a 2011 STi Hatch, so my power/track car will lie in the STi. So now I'm debating a C300 4-matic or G37x for a daily driver that I can just relax in and go to work with. Power with a balance of milage is what I'm after with some luxury thrown in but still a good handling car.
Thanks for all the input.
