It IS a good looking car, but that’s DESPITE the grille. It can be both simultaneously an overall attractive design, while also having a hideous element smack dab on it’s face.

I just want to say, that may be the most lengthy and intensely formatted comment I’ve ever scrolled past on Kinja! I won’t pretend I read it, but bravo sir.

This isn’t about “murica”. This is about the context of the actual article we’re all commenting about. Read the quoted text, emphasis mine:

What the G35 was sold as in another market isn’t what I’m talking about. You’re technically correct of course, but the context of this discussion is from an American consumer’s point of view, so you can save the memes. In this country, the FM was mainly underpinning Infiniti models, meaning American consumers were not…

The G35 coupe was a heavier 350Z with a nice interior and back “seats”. The G35 Sedan was a four door 350Z. The 350Z was a Nissan sure, but was brand new in 2003 and wasn’t a parts bin job slapped together. It was a competitive and fantastic car that kept up with even V8 ponycars through the early to mid aughts while…

Infiniti’s hey day was farther back than your experience with the G nameplate.  They were fantastic in the aughts, not the teens.

It’s been said ad nauseum here, but Infiniti died the day they abandoned the G nameplate. It was a bone fide sleeper at it’s introduction and even at the time of it’s aging departure, a perfectly respectable and handsome luxury sports sedan. Then they went all Audi with Q’s, put in numb drive by wire steering, and the…

Nice price, assuming parts aren’t made from unobtianium.  This would be a fantastic first car for a young enthusiast.  Unique, interesting, sporty-looking, and best of all slow, so they won’t get into much trouble.  I can think of much, much worse things to be stuck in.

I don’t think weight has ever been a sore point. The 370 is around 3300-3500 lbs. Corvettes are around 100 lbs more, Mustangs run around 300lbs more, and Camaros up to 600 lbs more.

So it doesn’t need to shave weight, it needs to not balloon. 400 very tunable horses at 3500 or fewer lbs is a fantastic modding…

Looking forward to the 14 page click-through article for unboxing including the comments that don’t load properly at the end.

Sorry I’m honestly not sure what you’re saying in your reply. There have been reports saying that the Z35 will be on a heavily updated FM platform and that new materials will be used to save weight. If that’s true, thing is not going to be a behemoth like the GT-R or the Q60.

The GT-R is probably a better approximation, being a coupe. That weighs around 3800. It is also AWD, a foot longer, and has a ton more supercar-related things adding weight. The new UHS steel Nissan has been rolling out will likely be a big component of weight savings as well over the outgoing FM cars.

If I were a…

I’m on board with the look, and the power. If it’s on a modified chassis from the Z34 like reports say, with newer materials it should stay close to 3200 lbs. That’s a killer power to weight ratio with right wheel drive. As long as it is able to come in at a decent price and have good reliability, I think it could…

Work smarter not harder!

Can we take down Erik’s article and put this in it’s place? I mean read this:

It looks like a PC tower.  Complete with an CD-ROM drive straight from the 90's!

This is actually pretty impressive for the price.  However, the curved screen kills it for me.  Same with the OnePlus 7 Pro.  I loved the popup selfie camera as I don’t ever use it, but the curved screen has too many drawbacks.  Shame.

I’m on FF on a laptop.

I don’t have a slideshow.  So I’m a B to your A, or else they already reverted to the normal scroll style instead of a click through

Still looks too chonky.  Smaller wheels would help.  I’d probably drop it on 19's if they fit over the brakes.
