Verrrrry nice ride. I've got to go test driving one of these days to get back to being current on the sports sedan market. One question: do you work for Car and Driver or just subscribe? That's pretty much the exact conclusion they drew in a comparo a couple issues back in picking the G35 over a 325i. Read the article here

not interested in the SRT6. i hate the rear wing and i like the balance of the regular Crossfire. plenty of power for me and $10k less.
it is tight inside, but i like that. feels like a modern MGB GT. and i like the styling too. but the G35 is much more practical.
For Sale:
- Sony PSP with a Baseball 2k6 and the movie Crash. $100
- 1973 Karmann Ghia Convertible w/ Auto-Stick. Needs Restoration. $1200 OBO

actually, just a subscriber here....and i do recall the article you referenced, though i wasn't thinking of it when making my decision (or making this post!). i promise! 
if money weren't as much of an object, i must confess i probably would've sprung for a 330i performance package...but at somewhere north of $42k with the options i wanted, it's way out of my budget for this purchase. however, with that said, i certainly don't feel that i "settled" for anything - i got a car i like equally well; it just so happens to fit within my budget rather than being $5-6k outside it. the infiniti G35's definitely offer some serious bang for the buck!

Man you know me and Josh will be there! Heck, I might even have the fast car running by then.
