People who look at g37 is aiming at luxury and probably is looking at the 3 series coupe, a5 coupe, c class coupe.

really? is that so? I cross shopped them.

strange. I must not exist. in that case.. bye bye all.

Your just being ignorant.

The Gen Coup and G37 may not always cross shopped but it all depends on where your high and low limits are when concerning price.

When I got my Z the Gen Coup was the low end in price while the G37 was the high end. I also looked at the 2010 mustang and 2009 Camaro.

I'm in the same boat as these guys. When I shop for cars, I look at everything, across price ranges. I test drive just about everything, too.

When I was going to buy a Frontier I came home with an S2000.

I cross shop everything. EVERYTHING.

You could also look at new Gen Coupe vs used G37 coupe.

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-04-2013, 07:35 AM

Its funny... One time i was harassed on the forum for taking 8 test drives on 5 vehicles before i purchased my G. I was told i was wasting salesguys time. I went back twice on three. The Z, Camaro and genesis coupe 3.8... I ended up with a G37s because i had gotten an $7,000 cash back incentive on the G37s with invoice pricing. Couldn't beat that. 1 year n some later. I was in a 09 370Z. The Z performance kept calling me. The Gencoupe and G BOTH felt equally inferior to the Z as far as driving enjoyment. The other car I had tested was the mustang GT. At the time it was a 4.6, it was laughable compared to every other car on the list. Went back and tested the 5.0. The changes impressed me greatly, but not enough to not purchase a Z.
The only cars i can consider in-line with a Z right now (performance/fun-wise) is the Evo and 135i.

I just deviated from the point but... I'd rather test everything twice if i really like it. After I crashed the 09 Z, I was able to add the 5.0, Evo, Porsche Cayman(used) to the list. Test driving cars is the best research. It's crazy to think that someone would actually think i'm wasting salesguys time... lol. I look at it as making sure i spend approx. $40k wisely.

Unless of course you get test drives like I did when I went to try out the 5.0. Scared the salesman coming out of the driveway so it was just down the street and back.

He had the nerve to tell me it was too much car for me (not that I did anything wrong or was anywhere close to losing control of it). Was a good thing I never planned on actually buying it other wise I would have been pissed.

No...fortunately, I been able to get at least a 5 mile test drive. The Z was the best test drive because they just gave me the keys. I had he Z a little over an hour.

Yeah it was the worst test drive I've ever gotten. I got a longer test drive of my Z when it was snowing

Well here's where you and I absolutely agree! Be picky, drive everything you're considering, make the most informed choice possible, because it is a big investment.
