HELP! The great Debate 370z vs. G37

Rickey89 · 12-19-2009, 06:03 PM

keep the z, boot the G

Redline37 · 12-19-2009, 11:12 PM

The deal breaker for me would have been that the G was used while the Z was new. New = better

never liked the G37C's ever since they screwed up the design on the production model... i was pretty much sold when they first released the concept. since i already own a G35C that would've been my natural choice. i still have my G35C.

sell the G37C, keep the 370Z.

[QUOTE=sinceday1;317352]I'll have to agree with 370zsteve on that one. I dont understand what really constitutes as a 'mid life crisis' and whether it really exists! it's an urban myth in my book!

I just finished a Developmental Psychology class in Nursing and we learned that a "mid-life crisis" is a MYTH. It was on a test.

lol... They also claim that "Empty Nest Syndrome" is also a MYTH. I'm more likely to suffer from the latter than the former. My 370Z isn't a mid-life crisis since I've had a 240Z, 280Z, 300ZX..I just love me some Z's

Edited to say: I did test drive the G37 coupe and the G37 convertible...But the Z won.

Easy! Your wife keeps the AT one, and you keep the MT one! NO problemo! Congrats on either or both--I like both, but own an AT 350Z, till death do us part!

There is only one choice for the force to be with you.

j.arnaldo · 12-23-2009, 11:28 AM

Alright, antbear, now THAT was a good one!

MeetJoeAsian · 12-23-2009, 02:18 PM

I had a G35C, and I thought the styling of the G37C was too feminine...I got rid of my 350Z for the G35C, and I never liked the G35C other than the looks...I was planning on purchasing another 350Z, but was holding out hoping the G37C would perform better than the G35C...however, when I saw the G37C, it totally changed my mind...the concept pictures looked promising of an aggressive redesigned, but when I actually saw the first photos of the car, I thought Hyundai took over Infiniti...I was hoping that I would like it in person, but no dice...

the design of the G37C seems to gear towards either the older crowd or the feminine crowd. It's kinda like what Lexus did with the SC...

What's wrong in someone wanting to drive a sports car when they're not in Teens, 20s,or even 30s? Maybe circumstances prohibited them to owning one. Maybe they simply love sports cars in general.. I'm 25. So no, my defence is not from experienced knowledge but I can say it isn't biased.

ANYWAYS to OP.
like everyone else said. If you have things to carry, get G, if not Z.
Both are amazing cars and I contemplated the exact same. (But up here in Canada, we do not have "Base" Z.)
Styling on Z is definitely much nicer than G IMO stock v stock but i think modified G looks as nice

I'm nearing 60 and I've just liked hot/stylish cars all my life. Any affordable 2-seater (well, except maybe not a Miata...

).

I think they need the G at this stage of their marriage if they're only going to have a single vehicle. If they will have w vehicles, then I'd give more weight to the 2-seater.

Because if that's you in the avie, then you're not old enough for the former...

Yeah, I'm there too.....You pick your cars to support your current stage in life. There are just times when a Minvan or 4 seater are just plain necessary. I have the Z, My wife has an Element, though she'd rather see herself in a Miata... I can see the need for 3 cars in the future, to help her with her image needs, and to maintain the practicality of the current rides... Usually 3 cars for the two of us is the magic formula. I've had 3 Miata's in the past...I can see a fourth to round out the stable....You guys can laugh all you want, but they are awesome drivers..

3 cars for me and one car for her is the way to go.

if both you and your wife will be driving, keep the 370Z. sure you'll miss the features, but at least your wife won't be whining about how much she hates the manual transmission.

I second that. ???

30k on an 08 is a lot. Go with the Z, even though it is an automatic...
