Default G35 Coupe

Does anyone like the look of it?

Based on looks alone I want one.

We had this discussion in the SC Forums. If I was leaning towards performance, I'd rather have a 350Z for the same price. If I was leaning towards luxury, I'd rather have a '98-'00 CPO SC400 for the same price. As far as looks and what you're paying for, the G35 coupe doesn't hold a candle to either car, IMO.

it's nice looking. definitely better than the sedan.

i saw one on the street today (90% sure it was the G35 coupe, side looks sorta like Z and rear taillights are very similar to G35 sedan, but longer.) Maybe dealer car or something (about 1 mile radius of nearest Infiniti dealer)

then I passed by the Infiniti dealer, they had about 2~3 M45s out side. Gotta say it's one ugly car

The M is ugly.

The G35 coupe looks like a 350Z but is a little but longer and it has two more seats and a trunk. I rather give up a little something to get that.

I would be interested in an older SC only if I do a turbo conversion.

I think they're in the same ugly class with the Aztek.

I've moderated my opinion somwhat. NOTHING is as ugly as the Aztek. Now I just think the G35 sedan is awkward-looking and the coupe extrememly ordinary. They're not offensively bad designs, just boring ones.

I'd say the days of finding a CPO 98-00 SC400 are pretty much over. who will CPO a 5-7 year old car?

I think the G35c looks excellent.
