G35 Coupe vs. RX8

[Ace$nyper]

i think the G35 is probbly a bit better and where the HECK ARE THE TURBOS MAZDA!!!! sorry needed to vent that:coolguy:

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

Car and Driver did the comparison of G35 vs. RX8 vs. some Mustang model. RX8 got rated barely better than the G35. Pretty much the whole reason for the RX8 winning that comparison was it as a more roomy back seat... IMO, the G35 looks much better than the RX8. Don't get me wrong, the RX8 is a very nice car, but the G35 is just more sleek and sporty, and I love the verticle headlights. The only thing I don't like is that the G35 is a knock-off Skyline, and I just hate cars that look and perform almost exactly alike with different manufacturer tags on them.

My 2 cents.

I never thought it was that hard to understand..

JDM Nissan Cefiro = US Infiniti I30, I35

JDM Nissan Cima = US Infiniti Q45

JDM Nissan Primera = US Infiniti G20

JDM Nissan Skyline (2003+) = US Infiniti G35

In each case the US gets the highest trim-line of the JDM product, with a few cosmetic changes. Same cars underneath the bonnet, though.

you know i never though it was that hard either but i have explained it too many people on this forum and in real life. people have this problem in thinking that every skyline is a 2 door gt-r and when they see a non gt-r or even worse a 4 door they dont know what the fuck is going on...

Ugh..and if you only knew how many times I've had to explain that the Sentra is not the same as the G20..(different suspension, platform, engine, everything else, but they still think they're the "same car", go figure!) and I've even had to explain that the 1993-1997 Altima was NOT the same car as the J30...seeing as the J is about 2 feet longer, you'd think this is obvious, but I guess not.

But back on topic..while overall the RX-8's looks just don't agree with me, I do like the idea of the 2+2 coupe. I owned a coupe previously and it was darned near impossible to put anything (let alone people) in the back seat. I'll pass more judgement when I see one in person.

I'm not sure about that...................I mean the previous Cefiro was identical to the previous I30- but I don't think there is a new Cefiro I do know however that teh Europe/New Zealand market Maxima is identical to the I30 (In 3.0 form)

but otherwise you are pretty sopt-on

To the best of my knowledge, there is a 3.5l Cefiro, offered 2001-2003, but the 2004 Maxima is sold overseas as the Teana. It wouldn't have made sense to sell the 3.5l VQ in the I35s here, but leave the old 3.0 in the Cefiro. However the current Maxima is on an entirely new platform, probably why they decided to give it a new name in Asia and Europe.

the 5th gen maxima is the same as a jdm cefiro. the new 6th gen maxima is that is coming out is related to the jdm teana are related, only that is the maxima is more bigger and has a more powerful engine. and i would understand how the people would think that a j30 would be the same as a atlima. they got that same ugly trunk overall the same profile. of course as soon as you say that a j30 is a rear wheel drive with a n/a Z32 v6 in it then they will go "ooohhhh"

edit:
and don't forget that the gloria or credic is here in the united states under the infiniti M45 badge. and as we all know, most of the infinitis here have more power then the jdm counter parts.

[GTi-VR6_A3]

woohoo MORE BETTER... good shit. yeah im glad infiniti's are more powerful than the jdm nissans

-GTi-VR6_A3

[TatII]

the Q45 is more powerful then the cima, and the M45 is more powerful then the gloria. the 350Z is also more powerful then the fairlady Z. hmmm what else is more powerful? can't think of anymore off the top of my head.
