Infiniti G35 Sedan

[toant103]

Is Nissan going to come out with a manual transmission for the G35 sedan anytime soon?

 

[LakerGod]

I have no idea. But my friend has the regular automatic and I must say it's a nice ride. Pretty freaking fast too.

 

[bolido2000]

Yes, in the Spring I think.

My dad bought the automatic last July and he loves it. You can shift up and down manually but it isn't the same.

Isn't this the tiptronic automatic? ( I don't know if I spelled it right ).. but some 350z owners have told me.. it's actually faster than shifting manually.

If that's how they justify an automatic in a sportscar, more power to them!

I know a 6-speed version is planned - no idea on an ETA.

yeah, coupe does look nicer... umm... isn't the car the same...? or is there a size difference? i thought it was basically 2 doors vs. 4...

The G35 sedan is sex on wheels.

The G35 coupe is two chicks, at the same time, on wheels.

The "tiptronic" in the G35 is a glorified automatic transmission that allows user-input for gear changes. The actual shift speed is similar to a normal automatic transmission.

It seems you're thinking of a sequential manual, which is a traditional clutch/flywheel type transmission with a solenoid that controls the clutch instead of a pedal. You use paddles on the steering wheel to shift up or down.

By the way, Nissan has been taking preorders for the 6-spd, and they've supposedly been selling like hotcakes. Expect A) a nice dealer markup from MSRP or B) long wait time until delivery.

The sedan is a fair amount cheaper here in Canada.

Same in the US?

 

[JMaster]

Yeah they are. I believe it was orginally supposed to be released in Feb '03, but I haven't heard much about it since then so I'm not sure when now.

Dunno about the coupe, but the sedan is pretty small inside. I'm 6 even and it's on the snug side for me. The Altima is roomier inside.

If it weren't for the prestige/quality issue, I think I'd prefer a V6 Altima over the G35 sedan.

well the 350z pwns them all.

If I had the choice between the G35 coupe and the Z, I'd take the G35. For about the same price, you sacrifice a little performance but you get a lot of luxury. Well worth it. I went to the international auto show in SLC on sunday and sat in each. G35 is much nicer.

The coupe is on a stretched platform and has a better track than the sedan. That and the fact that the coupe has more HP/TQ at the crank. It also sounds a lot better under WOT.

As for the transmission, though they are still tiptronic they - in no way - shift like a regular automatic if you go for the manual shifting mode.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Tiptronic is what Porsche calls their automatic.

Agreed - the G35 is a more handsome car than the Z IMO as well.

Thanx,

hopefully the price will go down when i graduated this May.

ug, the g35 looks like ass.
I guess i'm just a Nissan only Nissan fan boy. The 350z has the looks, and performance, I could care less about luxury. If i'm buying a sports car i want it to be fast and handle well. I don't want wood trim or vanity mirrors. I want a monster engine, badass suspension and a steering wheel.

I'm just hoping they come out with a TT version of it. I will knock up some hooker for her kid and sell it on the black market for a 350ZTT
