ot.
what the heck r u driving now silver?

back to topic.
sure looks pretty nice but interior is still a nissan. my friend got a g35 i think it's 2005 and i was not impressed at all. it was actually a disappointing to me. lots of stuff were made of just plastics. i used to drive rsx and felt just like a rsx. dont matter 330hp motor or not interior just sucks.
Exactly, that was one of the biggest issues with my MY05 G coupe. I think you are being to kind when you stated that the rsx interior was on the same page as the G.

I actually liked the interior of my rsx a lot better than the G. At least it had a nice metalic finish as opposed to the cheap plastic in the nissan.

On a lighter note, 330hp is pretty impressive. But when you're pulling 3700lbs+, it doesn't seem that great.

I wonder about quality issues, Nissan has them. I wonder about rear seat headroom, there is very little in the current car.

I think it will be a nice package if they address my concerns, very little competition in that segment .

Wonder how long it will be before someone rebadges an Altima Coupe to be a G37 Skyline!

It's probably a huge piece of junk like my 06'. Too heavy, crap interior materials, junky tranny....

At least it looks nice.
