Ahhhh...I finally received my G last night. It looks sooo much better in person! Anyway, mine is black on graphite with sport rims, spoiler, nav, and auto. The windows are tinted 5% (that's right, limo tint) and the windshield has 50% tint. The "black out" effect looks pretty intimidating. So far, I haven't been able to drive it much faster than 50 mph because of horrible Seoul traffic, but I'm going to try to take it out today and try like hell to keep it under 4k rpm (not sure I'll be successful though).

First impressions:- looks great! - interior is very nice, although it is a bit more cramped than I had expected.- navigation works great!- the lack of low end torque is noticeable. the car doesn't get up and go like my stage IV 300zx tt.- the car rides a little higher than i expected. the sight lines are a bit high as well, especially the windows.- seats are fabulous! tons of adjustments, especially compared to my Z.- steering is a little numb at low speeds, but it's still fine.- still trying to get used to the start dongle...it's pretty weird at first without a key!

I went out with my buddy who just bought an "AMG-look" S500. His car is badass, but instead of oggling his car (which is like a dime a dozen in this neighborhood of Seoul), a lot of people came to admire mine. Of course, there aren't too many coupes around here in general, and I had one and only G in Korea yesterday! That's right, I rolled off with G37 number 1 here in Korea and my dealer said the next one wouldn't be picked up until today. LOL.

Anyway, overall I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm getting a little old now so the lowered Z is bit hard to get into to. The ride jars my teeth loose too. Yet I am not going to drive around for the rest of my life in a minivan or an SUV (my wife can do that). The G37 is a perfect compromise of luxury and sport in my opinion.

I'll try to post pics soon.

Congrats Siddo!! I can't believe that I am replying to the guy that got the First G in Korea. Make that part of your sig. because it is special. The car is awesome and if you people admiring the outside, think how they will like the inside!

Again, have fun reading up on the manuals etc. Also, did you get freebies in Korea eg a mug, chopsticks, Korean spoons? Anything at all?

Hope to see the pics soon.

No chopsticks, but I got free window/windshield tinting, a bluetooth headset (no bluetooth available in my car), free oil changes for 3 years, a golf bag, a leather wallet, and a leather keychain holder. It's been raining for the last few days here, so I'll take some pics as soon as it clears up.

Wow, that's a lot of "free" stuff. I got an infiniti pen that came in my leather "operators manual" bag. That's it.

Enjoy the golf bag and other free stuff. I hope to visit Korea one day as one of my "most cultured" destinations in Asia. You guys have a lot of the modern/ancient stuff going on over there. And, oh Yeah, great food. Looks like you'll have a chance to take the G out to all the cool places in and around Seoul.

Have Fun.
