Before I bought my IS350 I was dead set on a g35s/g37s. Then I drove one. Such an old man car, the IS is way sportier. The quality of the leathers and everything was just subpar. And this is coming from someone that had a modded Subaru WRX. I also test drove IS250's and almost got one, but then I drove a 350 and there was no going back.

Enjoy the g37 (if you can)!

Congrats on the new ride! It is definitely a different car than the IS350 but still a nice ride indeed. I was looking into it as well but ended up the the 350. I really love the exhaust. As the matter of fact, many of people (including myself) get after market exhaust so our cars sound similar to the Nissan Gs

All the magazines clocked the G37 slower. The IS350 has more aggressive gearing.

Don't let the Lexus doors hit you on your way out. See ya!

All joking aside, nice purchase! Now post some pics of that ugly looking G37. Just kidn' again.

I miss my 350z. I elected not to purchase the G series because it handled like a RWD Accord. BTW, I consistently got 24-26 MPG in my Z without babying it. I can barely squeeze 20MPG out of this IS250 AWD.

In my case I still have both..

but after putting the Lexus stock and giving it to my wife Im buying back parts to mod it again jajaja

can't have it stock.. it saddens me too much..
I am worried that I got BC Coils 10/8 from an ISF so itll probably be stiffer than I'd like
