G35 Coupe vs. RX8

NISSANSPDR · 03-25-2003, 09:45 AM

Ok...I seriously would like to compare these two..now they are both 4 seater sports cars...one more luxurious than the other...but these 2 were compared in C/D w/another car (Cobra) but I think it doesnt belong

So what's it going to be...

3.5 Liter V6 280HP
G35 Coupe

or

Rotary 250HP
RX8

Just on looks alone - I'd go with the RX8

i want torque ill take they g35 (skyline for those who dont know even though im not a big skyline guy)

rx8 looks great but only around 140 lb/ft of torque thats not kool.
g35 is so pretty. but the better comparo would be 350z and the rx8

just to clean up what you said, and we don't get a skyline war started...

the g35 is indeed the new skyline, albeit not the gt-r that everyone in the US is familiar with.

for background, keep in mind that the gt-r is only the top of the line, while there is a whole family under it, not unlike the different number of golfs available, from TDi to GTi.

clear.

i'll take the g35, i like the way it looks a lot more

Amen to what flylwsi said about starting a skyline war.
I personally find the G35 to be a better looking car.
I like the fact that the G35 comes with a 6-speed Getrag(a very awesome tranny)
I like the power/torque that the G35 puts out and the fact that aftermarket companies(i.e. Greddy) are beginning to have a bit of aftermarket support for it.
I would go for the G35 anyday.

That is true........G35 is sick quick looks hot and safe (important) jus dont drive it too much in snow!

i haven't gotten to drive an rx-8 yet and although it seems promising, i'll take the g35 coupe. looks, engine, luxury, performance for $30,000ish. not bad of a deal i'll tell you that.

Just imagine a black G35 Coupe w/18 inch BBS RC's...elegant and damn sexy!

eh, after owning a black car before, i'll never own one again. black cars look sweet, but only after a nice wash with a couple coats of polish and wax. those swirl marks become too evident on black cars. same thing with water spots. i haven't got the time to wash/polish/wax my car all the time. once a month is almost too much for my schedule. silver ones look pretty good to me. :smoker2:

sorry for getting off-topic.

its all about the g spot baby. ahem i mean g35 coupe. everytime i see that car and i'm with my girl friend i'm like ooo look honey g35 coupe!!! and i would point and the guys in the car would see me pointing at them, and she would be like honey~ they're lookin at you funny. and i would say nah~ they know i'm sweeting their car. its a good thing for them. heheh G35 is soo sexy in person. but only the performance ones with the 18 inche wheels with the brembo's.

Based on looks alone, I'd definitely go with the G35. The RX-8 has a few lines that just don't match up for me, and the door handles don't match the car and seem to be mounted about 3" too low down the side. I have a lot of small complaints but overall the look is just "off", like they didn't finish fine-tuning the concept. The car looks kind of plasticy on the front spoiler, also. (Yes, I know it IS plastic, but it doesn't have to look it.)

Beyond that, I don't know much about the RX-8's comfort/convenience features, but I do know about the G35's..

Actually, personally I'd go G35 sedan, just because a coupe doesn't suit my needs. However I do think the G35 coupe is infinitely more attractive than the sedan, and that's saying a lot as the sedan is damn sexy.

The RX8 is down on power- but judging by previous RX cars it'd be lighter as well. The G35 looks bolder- but the RX8 looks sharper.

I haven't driven either so I'm not commenting on handling.

It's early stages- but I am going for the RX8 at the moment.

Easy one for me, G35 Coupe. But I do like the projected price of the RX8. I just don't think that the rear seats are all that important in a coupe. Give me the better lines. I think the RX8 looks a little to bubbly. I am just glad to finally see some nice coupes out there. It seemed like the late 90's were the worst years in autodome.
