You sound like my dad when I told him how much the new vette cost. Then he went on to tell me how you could get them for 12 grand back in the day 
Fwiw I dig the G35 coupe, it's the sedan that does nothing for me. The exterior styling is rather bleh (personal prefrence yes)
I'll admit the IS and the 3 series aren't the fastest sedans but when I get a 4 door it's going to be used mainly as a cruiser so things like 0-60 and skidpad numbers matter a little bit less to me than they normally would. I already have a 2 door sports car when I want to drive fast, and its not pissing oil all over the place

If I ever want a cruiser, I am so going with a huge Cadillac.
Everything has gone up in price. Even the S2k. The G35 went up a ton also. It's a bunch of crap.

My buddy got a brand new IS350 a few months ago for about $37k out the door.
You seem bitter about something Kevin? I was just thinking how I hadn't seen you on the boards lately.

Also, I didn't like the whole "Skyline-duplicate" crap. It's an Infiniti G35 Coupe. Not a Nissan Skyline. I could care less what it is called in a country 10,000 miles away.

Plus, most people who buy these kind of cars care more about the badge and whether they like it or not, rather than the window sticker no? They can get the same stuff for a ES350 on the Camry.

I am rational and would take the Camry over the ES. I think it looks better and it's what, 10k cheaper?

I have a 1992 Camry LE 4 cyl(first year of the long line of "round bodies")..it is hitting 100k soon
