Sporty G37 thread

[12,000 RPM]

G37S
12+ Genesis 3.8
Older GS350 (just to see if it doesn't make me dry heave as much in person)
15+ 200S or C with the V6 (for posterity)

I was thinking about checking out a GTI but I wanna try something completely different. *Probably* going to keep it stock, aside from lowering for looks and better brake pads/rotors/fluid. I really want the G.... one finally popped up in the right trim with the right miles for the right price. Any other ideas

If we have the time I'd like to get wifey's RDX as well

Why not look at the Maxima, if you liked driving it?
Lawl, I wanna see your reaction to the 200.

Maximas are too confusing.

It's this in between wishy washy stuff that's so-so. What does the Maxima want to be? More time with it has made it more clear and I tone back my earlier statements. It probably would have worked best as a hatchback...

Good luck sporty!  A G would be sliiiiiick.

The new ones are just too far out of my price range. I wanna keep it under 15-20K with a reasonable amount of miles. I really did like the Maxima though, especially the interior. Oddly enough, I think the 200 comes closest in that aspect... the rest are all relatively ancient

If you have time you're going to buy an RDX too?

[12,000 RPM]

Yea wifey's car is due for replacement as well. Or at least it will be when she gets tired of hopping out of my nice whatever back into the Rabbit. We are selling it to her stepfather, who ironically made fun of us for driving old cars when he was a car salesman Just going to do the brake pads on it and maybe have VW do some fluids... should be good to go another 4 years

[MrH]

Just buying another vehicle if you have time sounds like a really odd thing to say is all.

If I can free up some time this afternoon, I may buy a house while I'm at it

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Get the G! Don't even waste your time looking at the rest.......

[CALL_911]

What's the deal with this G? Sedan, 6MT?

[Laconian]

What about the G8?

Shame about the red, but that's sweet.

Looking at manual Infinitis on craigslist, this popped up. Man, they hit that one out of the park

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I tried! He doesn't want a V8....

[Raza]

All this hemming and hawing and the G37 is the top pick? 

Anyway, you might as well try the GTI and the pre-Predator GS350.  I always liked the way those looked.  Pretty fast too; probably not as sharp as the G, though.  Might be more comfortable. 

Also "I was thinking about checking out a GTI but I wanna try something completely different" does not jive with your want of a G.  You already owned one.

I would imagine sedan and automatic.

Nah the first gen looks so outdated now.

First gen of what?

[Soup DeVille]

I can only assume GTI.

[68_427]

I was replying to Ro's post about the 1st gen G35 coupe, and didn't bother refreshing before posting, so I didn't see all the new posts.

[68_427]

Also what about Crosstour for Wifey.  Surely it'll be just as nice as a comparably priced RDX

Or a EX35/7 or QX50. The interiors are delicious

[SJ_GTI]

I think out of those the G37 seems like the obvious choice.

That ebing said the guy who owns the shop where my dad works drives a Genesis with the 3.8. Its a nice comfortable car and I know he loves it.

Different from the Civic. I don't want another economy car, as nice as the GTI is.

Truthfully when I bought the Z I had a choice between it and a 1st gen 6mt G sedan.... I should have got the G.

And yea I'm going automatic this go round. With enough horsepower transmission doesn't matter to me on the street. I have the bike and SIM rig

Crosstour is hideous bruv

I like the QX50 but the long one is too expensive. Probably gonna check out the new Sportage and if wifey is into leasing the new CR-V too. Maybe a QX70 (FX) while we are at Infiniti. That gas mileage is abysmal though. RDX with the V6 is just too good

Yea I want to at least drive it before writing it off. MrH is the only person I've heard complain... I don't think i'm as discerning. They are so cheap too.

Give it a shot.  Just be aware of what I said.

I will say, if you can swing a R-spec 5.0, the engine is awesome.  That, and probably the interior are the best part.  Stupid powerful and pretty decent gas mileage.  Really smooth too.

There's actually one in my price range nearby. I might check it out. Just not sure if the extra performance is worth the cost. The +12 3.8 is supposedly a 13 second car, but it can do 30+ on the highway. Plus I am weird and prefer the sound of a 6 to an 8.

By far. I drove one and loved it on track. Great car.

[12,000 RPM]

This is not going to be a track car

I know. The G37S isn't one. But I liked how it handled and behaved there. Your other options kinda suck.

[Laconian]

Let's throw the ZDX in the mix for good measure. Why not
