Took delivery of 2010 G37S coupe. Pics.

Thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. Longtime German car driver (bmws and audi). First japanese car in 14 years. Haven't driven the car at all since I brought her home on Friday but looking forward to driving it for the next 3 years. Hopefully I don't get german car envy.

Love the pedals

These new seat warmer controls look like a complete afterthought. The old switches looked much better.


Never knew Enkei made these wheels.

Congrats & welcome. She's a beauty!

Nice. Love the white with graphite combo. I'm in the same boat as you. Been a German car driver for the past 11 yrs and recently went from an Audi A3 to a 2010 G sedan. Love both cars. They are totally different and I still miss the Audi and the German feel.

Nice! Congratulations

What do you think made you make the switch to this vehicle and/or a Japanese model vs German? I guess I'm wondering if you just basically like the Infiniti or if you had problems with your last German vehicle. I hear a lot of complaints about German automobile maintenance costs (after the *freebie* period if that applies)

It really came down to the "value" of the G37 versus the german competitors. The G is A LOT of car for the money, especially if you are leasing. I'm currently leasing a 335i and the G37 lease is ~$100/month cheaper and I get a lot more car. I really wanted to get back into an Audi (my true love) but their deals just didn't compare to the G37. You're looking at $900/month+ to lease a new S4, which is just ridiculous.

Very nice!

Welcome to NICO! Nice car Now lets talk mods...first things first, a new intake system will wake up the car and sound great! I recently put on an R2C intake and love it! Check it out: r2c-peformance-intakes-g35-g37-350-370z-t495598.html

Here's a good thread discussing intakes: what-intake-to-buy-t495242.html

You don't like the new switches? I think the 6 way adjustable knob for heat is way better than Hi/Lo switches. I never understood Lo or Hi seat heat. Maybe I want more than just a little recently-spanked warmth on my butt. Maybe I want less than pepper-spray over sunburned buttcheeks heat. Maybe I want to sear my steak over the seat. 6 (5?) is way better than just 2 options.

dont' get me wrong...i like the added controls. I just don't like the design of the knobs. Looks like a complete afterthought. Like the designers finished the car then remembered that they forgot to put the heat seater controls in, so decided to just stick two knobs right there.

Welcome and be sure to hit up a local meet!

I have the old rocker style switches in mine. I'm sure it was cheaper for them to make a new mounting plate for the rotary knobs than doing a new integration.

Damn thats a pretty car! congrats man!

[fiveliterbeater]

wow! beautiful ride buddy! i forgot they still make the G's in manual cause i never really see them.
have you leaned into it yet? are the manual's geared low?

I haven't pushed her at all yet. Still breaking her in. Haven't gotten past 4k rpm.

My dealer told me that ~1 out of 100 G37 they sell are manuals. i find that hard to believe, but they are rare indeed.

[sup_mario]

Welcome to the forum and Congrats on the new car. It looks very nice and clean .

[kmckis1029]

congrats!!!

yep way more car for the money and maintience cost are way better. Infiniti's luxury car value is hard to beat compared to the German brands. Im sold on Infiniti, i'm on my second one...

[wingFeather]

If you ever think you're getting "German car envy", just go test drive one. You will be surprised at how heavy they feel compared to the G. I hated my M3's understeer.

1 out of 100? I'm thinking maybe about 5 out of 100 are manuals. It's one of the few manual options at this price point.

Anyways, that coupe is really sharp - congrats!

I guess I'm the only one in this thread that absolutley adores the BMW M3 (E92, duh!)...

Nice 37 though!

IMO, I think G feels (and is) pretty heavy. I think the heavy feel of the German cars is more of a solid feeling. I love my G, but it's way different from a German car. My Audi just feels more solid and tighter, from the steering to overall road feel. either way, both fine cars, just apples and oranges.
