My response would have been, "but you like it stiff sweety" /conversation

then take her home and do the dew.

IS350, 335, even a 2013 328 Sport line is pretty good.

So is the IS350, to stay similiar/familiar I say G37. If you got some extra bucks I say an 11 to 13 335is coupe, not the i but is.

stay in the Z for another year and see what the new Z, G, and IS ( I assume a new one is due soon since the current model has been out forever) look like

I like both the G35 and G37. The KWv3 light setting sounds good as well.

I would not respond to my wifes plea's for any type of car for myself. She asked me to get an auto, so she too can drive it. I looked at her and thought I can not believe you would say that, this is my daily driver and I hate auto's. I replied "No thanks", and that was the entire conversation.

My gal knows my car is important to me. Even though she does not agree about it's importance.

Buy a lifted truck and take her for a ride... The Z feels smooth by comparison.

Plus, you can jump the truck over things, it's a win/win!

I agree the G37 could be a good choice, the 335... I don't know about the ISC, it's not bad looking. If it's as slow and boring as I expect it to be I don't think I could handle the trade-off.

Might be easier to just change to a tire with a higher sidewall and that should help absorb some of the road impact rather than changing out cars or the wife

Wait a minute. Are you talking about her Z or your Z? Whose car is it?

Test drive the 2013 with "euro-tuned shocks". I'm going to tomorrow. been trying to get at it all week, but we been having a family crisis this week that has been taking up my free time. Hopefully tomorrow will be a go.

Give her a pillow to sit on, people have been doing it with their dogs in the car for years...

I agree with the tire assessment, smaller rims, even 18's with a softer and higher sidewall will help. Whatever you do if you buy KDWs get a bottle of aspirin too, but dang they perform...

Well, there is nothing wrong to make sacrifice for your wife or your family. So stop bashing at OP.

Back to the question, I personally prefer the Lexus. They ride so smooth and gf/wife-friendly. I own a g35 coupe too. It doesn't really give you much smoother feeling then the Z. As for the bimers, they are always nice... when they are under the warranty. So be caution if you planning on a used one.

Then my vote is Acura, yes crap styling, but the interiors are the shiz (BMW/benz interiors bore me) and you get Honda quality to boot, the choice is simple. Lexus is nice...really...nice. I may be bias, I work for Honda...but lexus is nice...

or put a recliner inside the Z?

Sorry for being a Jack***.

Honestly she just need some attention maybe some more "Tender Loving Care".
Then she will forget the Z. My 2cents.... you won't even spend a cent for doing that.
