It's not the look, it's the quality that has always been pretty bad.


The Quality is not that bad.

Have you sat in a new G35?

The new (2005+) G35's aren't bad... much improved over the previous years.
The 2006 M35 hopefully is the direction Infiniti is headed towards, as far as interiors go. Tops in class IMO.

The quality in the 05 is much better than the 04. I looked at the 04 and laughed because I thought the interior was so cheap. The 05 interior is a huge improvement.

I love my G35. I am completely thrilled with it.

Nice, but do you really sit that far forward? :confused:

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised by the sedan. When I was shopping for a car 2 years ago, I had to cross the G35 sedan off my list because it was so freakin fugly. If I was car shopping now, it would defintely be up on my list. I ended up getting the Acura TL w/navi.

VERY nice! I think that is the car I've been looking for. If this is an '06 or '07 model, I'm getting one when it comes out!

I haven't seen the new interiors, as I wasn't aware that they had changed that much. If they are that much of an improvement over the 04's, I would definitely be interested to see one. Looks like it's time to visit the Inifiniti dealership :)

Everything changed for Infiniti when they released the G35 sedan. Now they're constantly releasing great designs.

it should, infiniti is Nissan's 'luxury' division. the g35 is the luxury 350z iirc.

Well I have a 2005 G35 Coupe.

Let me put it in easy to understand terms.

A Toyota is a lower cost Lexus
An Infiniti is a higher priced Nissan


While I love the styling and it's get up and go the interior falls short of what I expect from a 38K car. From the horrid steering wheel mounted controls, which have sharp edges on their backside and don't aline with the cross bar of the wheel, to way to much cabin giggles and such I wonder what they were thinking. I have all sorts of rattles and such the dealer isn't capable or won't fix.

I looked at the FX but the interior (mostly dash) is horrible.

They have some good performance numbers but the new IS350 from Lexus is not matching those numbers it has the fit and finish and attention to detail a car in this price range should have.

Point, my next car will not be an Infiniti. I may not even keep this one two years. Throw in the abusive charges for maintenance the dealer tries to foist on me and I can't see the point ($377 for the 15K service? - 2/3rds of the items are not even in the warranty manual!)

Agreed. 05 was a lot better, but still. They have a long way to go. Everyone has to admit that.
