sold my TC and got a....

That is one bad azz G35 Coupe, great choice. See you got the sport-tuned suspension package and the aero-dynamics package. Cool!

Did you get the premium package also?

g35 and 350z are the same car basically, only major differences is luxury, the g35 is a bit more confortable. You cant go wrong with either of those cars. they were the cars i was looking at along with the tC when i was shopping for mine and went tC mainly for cost, insurance, and future maintenance upkeep cost purposes.

A G35 is a Skyline, while the 350Z is well, a Z.

well, i take back what i said about wanting the rumored new skyline, mainly because of the lack of asthetics. anyway, here is what im talking about. maybe i can get used to it, but i doubt it....

"and even they show that Nissans are much less reliable than the others."

But they have infinity ABOVE Toyota....

"Also, since someone brought up the J.D Power rankings, let me mention this: their "long-term" reliability ratings are based on the number of "problems" in three-year-old cars. I am not particularly convinced that how well a car holds up for three years is highly predictive of its long-term reliability."

The idea is to see where the cars are at when the warrenty begins to run out.

"Just as importantly, how useful are these rankings if they don't discriminate between different types of problems based on severity? For example, BMW's rating is not much worse than Toyota's...but if 60% of the "problems" with BMWs are serious engine problems, and 60% of the Toyota "problems" are, say, hatch rattles, it's obvious that J.D. Power's "long-term reliability ratings" don't mean much."

I agree with you on this.

What's the deal with everybody saying "too bad it isn't a skyline?" The Nissan Skyline in Japan is the Infinity G35 here. No, it's not a GT-R, but it is still a skyline.

I should damn well hope so. See: average price of an Infinit vs. average price of a Toyota.

Hey there, not to burst you bubble, although it does seem like your bragging a bit anyway, but I'm not envious at all. This is a TC forum, everyone is here because they like the car and/or own it. Most people didn't buy the TC for its performance capabilities or its aftermarket parts...they bought it because its a nice, affordable compact with plenty of standard features, and its made by Toyota. First of all, theres no comparison between a TC and an Infiniti!!!! Its a luxary car! Not a moderately priced compact!! I'm damn glad I spent half as much on my car as you did on yours, they both get from point A to B and I still have 10 g's leftover! Maybe if I was rich and spoiled I'd buy an Infiniti too...but dont flame on people for buying an economic and affordable nice car, maybe you just couldn't get the hang of driving it??? But unlike yuppie car owners who buy a new luxury car every year, TC owners are generally younger buyers with less money looking for a good deal for the money, not rich luxury car buyers. No one ever said the TC is better than the G35, definitely more economic though. And plus 350s and g35s are ALL OVER THE ROAD-so played out man. And besides...Toyota kicks Nissan a$$
