well, the wife wanted something different. here's what we came up with.

'04 5AT with sport pack/aero pack. everything but navigation. i have to admit, it is kinda nice to have something to stretch out a bit in. and a trunk with some room is nice too! all in all its a fun car for cruising and will be great for the i-35 trek back and forth to austin, but i'm glad she's not driving my s2000 anymore!

 

Good choice -- why not the 6spd manual tho w/ Brembo options?

 

its the wifes and she paid for it.


she is anti manual after driving the s2000 for awhile.

 

Great choice and even better color! I still think that there is not a better looking coupe out there in the price range. It will be interesting to see what styling changes they make to the 2007/2008 G35 coupe which is coming out in a few months.

 

Very nice wheels- your wife has good taste in cars. Wish mine had opted for the Coupe sometimes. Her '04 G35 sedan has been a great car for trips, and has been completely bullet proof. And, yes, she bought her own. Not a single problem since we got it new.

So.... why do you need a back seat?

 

no clue....we don't want kids for awhile.

i was pushing for the slk55.

 

impressive

 

Nice, That is exactly what I have been thinking of replacing my old maxima with. How do you like the 5 AT.

 

i only have limited seat time in it since its her commuter, but so far i think it will be a great long distance car. the auto is nice, and even though its kinda neat to have the manumatic; but its kinda clunky coming from a manual. its just much easier to leave it in drive.

it is smart enough to know that when you floor it, you want it to go to redline; so there isn't really a need for the manual function. overall, i like it.
