Yeah, I have to say I'm really liking the blue. I've always preferred darker G35s, but for the '05 I was thinking about Diamond Graphite. I saw that blue one on the lot (Infiniti of Gwinnett) and loved it. First impressions... Like I said, I'm loving it. The power is amazing- she's always ready when I am I've found the seats to be really comfortable- the controls don't bother me at all, but the longest I've been in the car at one time is probably an hour and a half. A bigger guy I work with said he could feel the controls pushing into his leg, but for me it hasn't really been an issue. Minor gripes...overall, I love the interior's layout and design, but there are definitely some cheap parts in there. I think they took the sun visors out of the Sentra parts bin. Nothing against Sentras, but I'm used to the Q The armrests on the doors are hard plastic and get really uncomfortable- that bugs me more than anything. Harder than the Q's, and much worse than the soft cushy ones in my I.The sunglass holder is worthless. My glasses don't fit in there- it's all of about an inch and a half deep. The auto-stick feature in the first-gen 03s (mine) isn't terribly practical. When you move to auto-shift, it shows 4th, whether you're in 4th or not. If you're stopped at a light- 4th. You have to shift down to put the indicator in 1st. This is something they addressed in later models. One last thing- BRAKE DUST!
A nice, well-maintained G is so much different an animal than the whored-out loaners I was used to.
On my Q... Yes Wes, I actually did order a kit (FINALLY) from Jason B last week- got it from UPS yesterday, and will be putting it on this weekend. I'm the second owner, first was a doctor that kept it dealer maintained. I bought it w/ 80K miles two years ago, and have kept it T-3 maintained since. He kept all his records, and I've kept all mine. I'm going to use the weekend to get her prepped for sale, and will take some good pics and work on a description, so stay tuned.
