Default US skyline sedan

what do you guys think about the Infiniti G35, which is the US version of new skyline sedan in Japan.

3.5L four-cam V6, 260hp, 260lbft, 1513kg, top speed 142mph. 5-speed auto (later should have the 6-speed manual from 350Z).

is it another good choice for mid size sport sedan or a sick work from Nissan?

looks good on paper (except the taillights). we'll have to see how it performs in reality. nissan seems to be doing a good job of rejuvenating itself, but in driving thier new vehicles (I35, SE-R, and Q45) I've come away less than awed in each case. The right ingredients seem to be there, but something gets lost in the mix.

just my 2 cents.

But then the shifting time of that F1 Pedal is horrendously slow.

I can't agree with you more. Why wont nissan stop stalling and bring over the real deal instead of having us import them from MotoRex for a raping price
