why not use a bike rack that just attaches to the trunk? Why would you need a trailer?

The trunk rack is not as secure and can scratch. I've found a hitch for the G35, but you have to cut the rear bumper cover to install. See the attached link. http://www.hitchesonline.net/i...5.htmI've got a trunk mounted rack and a trailer hitch mounted Yakima rack. I prefere the hitch because it can not damage the trunk lid.

I ride a '02 Specialized S-works FSR Mt. Bike and a '01 Bianchi SL Lite Alloy frame w/ Campy Daytona 10sp Road Bike.

Nice bikes. I am riding a Cannondale R600 road bike right now. Thinking about upgrading towards the end of the year to something a little nicer. I would like to get a smoother ride. I need to get away from the aluminum frame.

You might want to try a carbon seat post it will help smooth out the ride.I've got one on the Bianchi.I had an early '90's R300, it was like riding a jack hammer.My Bianchi is a Alum frame but it is smoother than some steel frame bike I rode like the Lemond bikes.I am looking upgrade to a Ti or Carbon frame myself.

Yes, I have a custom built, class III rated receiver on our 2003 G35 sedan. It easily handles the bike rack and is able to tow a trailer. Send me a PM if you are interested in the details about the custom built receiver.
