The weight increase makes the 37 a bit slower then the 35, no?

I owned an 05 G35, the interior sucked.

Loud, bad fit, you name it.
 
Thanks everyone
yes its Automatic, i deal with too much traffic to deal with a manual everyday.

they are 19" wheels, the tires will prob be in the low $200s each

the new EX35 is really nice!!
 
Why didn't they keep the old G35 name? Just because they changed the engine doesn't mean they have to call it something else. What's next, G40?

Because that was why they started the naming convention in the first place. They name it after the engine size. BMW comes to mind...

Check those tires... if they didn't change the rim size they should be 300-400 each, at least for anything remotely good

bmw's numbers only vaguely follow the engine size at best.

i did the same size tires on tirerack.com were 223 for the front and 266 for the rear tires. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

I'm going to get some nitrogen in them as soon as possible to see if these will last at least 20,000 miles 😉

I think the next high end G series will be the G357 (threefiftyseven) and is supposed to have the same engine as the GT-R.

Now that would be something. 🙂

335i has a 3.0L, 750i has a 4.8L, etc... It used to be more accurate in previous generations... Anyway, BMW was not the best example, but its the reason Infiniti didn't keep the G35 name... Besides, newer is always better in the consumers point of view.
 
The reason it's called G37 is it's a Nissan tradition to use the engine size in the name. 240Z, 280Z, 300ZX, 240SX, 300Z, G35, M45, etc etc.

Naming it G35 would be pointless

G35c 6MT ... or 335i ? Decisions decisions.

i was lookin at the 335i but the interior is tooo plain!!

to get it optioned to match the G37 would cost about $5000 more
so i went with the Infiniti

Nice car. Having owned a G35c do you like the looks of the G37?

I personally think our G35s looked better.

As far as tires go my potenzas(19s) lasted for all of 16K miles. I picked up a set of Toyo TR-1s to replace them so we'll see how it goes. I think for all 4 it was right around $800 shipped.
