Default Infinity G35???

As my 98Z28 transmission keeps slipping, I've been thinking of getting another car. At first i wanted a Lexus Es330 but I think they look like just any other car. So Im thinking og getting a used Infinity G35, Im just surprised that they dont get reall get any better mpg than my 98Z28 when new. Either way it should get better than my 98 Z28 untuned with a tranny slipping. Want to know what yall think about this car, or are there better options?

I believe the 04 model and earlier model have 280 hp, 05-06 model have 298 hp and the new models 07 have 300+ hp.

To the OP, goodluck w/ your quest. I'm getting one also, a sedan version 05-06 model though. Too much money for me for new model.

I can tell you that although the seats are not full luxury comfort, they are still hella nice lol. I would certainly pimp one out as a DD.

My wife and I raced a G35 last night in our '08 Caddy CTS (304 hp V6) and hurt his feelings three times in a row. He tried to do a ricer fly-by once, and he couldn't get past my door, then the Caddy started creeping ahead. Then we both hit it from a 40 mph roll and the Caddy put 2 lengths on him. Then we ran from a dead stop at a redlight and the Caddy put 2 lengths on him. This was a 2-door older body style G35.

Got beat by a V6 family car
