It's all right. I'd rather get an IS 350 instead...

Nice red paint. A good racing red.

Too bad the car is as uninspiring as... as... a Nissan.

I'm trying so hard to get myself to like this car. It just looks so wrong. First time ever that I think I like the sedan version over its coupe version.

The brown leather is nice though.

Yeah, me too.

I tired hard to like this car, but didn't work.

I really liked the G35. I thought the car was the best looking coupe that came out from JDM land in a long period of time.

Hell yea man. That was probably a decade earlier when the SC300/400 was introduced.

I guess it was to hard to design a better second generation model.

I think this is the only proper looking coupe in entry-lux segment. 3er and A5 look like sedans with only 2 doors slapped on

I think I'll like this car in another color, with a different color interior. This vibrant red seems to pull all the curves in the wrong direction. Wheels are nice and the steering wheel looks sporty and comfortable. Other than that, it's not moving me.

I dont see why they couldn't produce the concept version. Hardly do any car manufactor stick to their concept. They always water down the car for the public

It's a big letdown after the G35c & the Coupe Concept, but for me, the availability of a 6 speed manual, more sporty feel , plus 330hp sure sounds good, I don't think I can pick the current IS350 over the new G37c even though I don't think the G37c looks better overall. I can go with other Lexus models for refinement & luxury.

I see pics of a Skyline, not a G37

Not feeling it, interior color combo is awful. I do like the "saddle" color leather.
I remember seeing the first G35c. Reaction was "wow"
I remember seeing the concept. Reaction was "wow"
Then the Nissan Altima coupe came. Reaction was "the hell"
Now the G37 is here and well. Reaction is "no thanks"

I was expecting the new car to have sharper, more crisp lines... like a nice, ironed shirt; it seems like this is the trend with cars now, and I like the look. Instead, Nissan appears to have gone the other direction and turned it into a jelly bean. It turned-out looking like a Sunfire, or something you'd find on the lot at Hertz.

Perhaps it looks better in person... or at least "less bad."

Also, I like the color, but not on this car.
