I have to take a picture from a different angle because these cars are supposed to be nearly the same size:
Specifications 2007 Lexus IS 350 2007 Infiniti G35
Exterior length 180.1 " 187.0 "
Exterior body width 70.9 " 69.8 "
Exterior height 56.1 " 57.2 "

It's the camera angle. The cars are very close in size, but when one is closer, it will always appear larger in 2D.

Maybe he's talking about the invisable car on the other side of him.

Same here, and thats exactly what i thought. I guess the G37 is supposed to be much better, but man the inside of that G35 is ugly, old and cheap looking!

Yep, same here! I hate that! I park way out there where no one else is to get away from everyone, why people feel the need to gravitate to a car thats way out there by itself I will never understand.

lol, great post

I don't know if the OP was being serious about the "how rude" thing... Sounds more sarcastic to me... Almost like "How dare that inferior car park in my baby's vicinity!"...

Either way, "ROFL"

I think its more of the G's rear end. This isn’t a statement on Nissan quality or perf but I have never liked any of their designs. I just don’t like them. Its my personal opinion on the looks which doesn’t really matter in the overall scheme (it can still be a good car).

Nissan makes its cars with huge rear ends. To me it looks like a big woman in spandex walking down the street, "to much junk in the trunk". That and their "Buckteeth" front grills.

Unfortunately their cars weigh like they were fat girls to.
