G35

[Hyperplex]

Want to share this with all of you....my latest acquisition.

After 7 years of faithful service (albeit a growing engine problem in the end), I traded in my Mustang towards this beauty on Thursday.

It is simply the greatest machine I have ever been in.

engine problems on a Ford? you must be kidding

 

[Hyperplex]

There were no problems for the majority of the 7 years I had the car. In the end, a stubborn misfire appeared and could not be remedied. I have nothing at all against Ford or my old Mustang. It was simply time to move on and take a step upward.

oh mah damn is that a sweet ride! Very Nice Very nice! We just got my replacement vehicle last Saturday. the 2006 Rav4 Limited......when you commute 50+ miles a day...the V6 does NOT make good financial sense.

But you did quite nice young man....you can escort MB around in style!

This car gets about the same, if not a little better, gas mileage than my Mustang did, and puts out a crapload more power.

And MB has been itching for me to get the car ever since the test drive. It really didn't take her long to find it "freakin' sweet."

MB's sister has a Rav4 and loves it. It's quite the awesome car.

Yeah, I jus replaced my Jeep today. my 60 mile commute required something better than 17 mpg. It's replacement, a 2006 Toyota Corolla S.

Should have gone for the 350Z... I personally think it's prettier

it's the same car isn't it?

Pretty much. There's some minor detail changes.

 

[kinoub]

I'm just a Nissan/Datsun enthusiast. The body is more different than anything else between the G35 and the 350Z.

 

[eaeolian]

Even that's not much - just some less-aggressive looking panels on the G35, IIRC, unless they updated it.

Nice ride, 'Plex. Seems like the Toyota bug is catching around here, though, since Scott and Carol both bought them, and Ron and Meghan did, too. Now if thy'd just make a hybrid RAV4...

 

[noodlesatf]

The biggest difference is the insurance seats. The 350Z doesn't have 'em.

 

[Hyperplex]

The G35 has a backseat and quite a bit more interior space. The 350Z is a two-seater roadster. There are a bunch of nicer interior amenities in the G35, which ultimately influenced my decision to go for the Infiniti. I like the lines better, too.

I got to drive the Corolla S last week. I had to take the Rav back in to have all the protective coatings applied and Ourisman gave me the Corolla S as a loaner car.

hey e-mail me at home will ya Scooter?

I as well (although I snagged mine back in July)

4WD, and yet gets upwards of 25mpg most of the time, which was nice when my commute was 40 miles each way in the thing.

 

[Coldfire Mouse]

I'm on my 2nd personal Toyota, my Scott has the whitestar (Celica GTS). I think we are totally a Toyota family. I adored my Highlander before she got smashed up...very safe vehicle..but with the RAV undergoing changes it now has almost as much room as the Highlander and a betterlooking design as well. Of course if my RAV did not have AWD I might get even better mileage...but then I would lose the ability to be able to cut thru Clifton everyday to get to work during inclement weather.

All HAIL THE TOYOTA!

Lovin' the new ride, Plex. I tend to prefer two wheels to go that fast, but I like your choice!

Trust me it wasn't because I wanted to, if they'd make a hybrid Jeep I'd be all over it. I just can't afford 16-19 MPG
