The 2003 g35 coupe came in 3 models; g35 coupe, g35 coupe leather, and g35 coupe sport6mt. The base car had cloth seats and nothing else in the way of options. When I bought my 2003 g35 the dealer has 18 cars in his first allocation and none of them were base coupes. This is the first time I've seen that the base really existed.

I'd rock cloth. Cloth seats are lighter.

Yes, a few earlier models where made with seat clothes. They were very fw and rare to come by. They may end up being collector G-35 Coupes because fo their rarity.

Cloth grips you better, too, for performance driving.

If that was a BLACK interior, I'd jump on this car. Tan is for old ladies

Leather is over-rated.

Hot, Sticky, and heavy.

Just something people are tricked into thinking is luxurious. Why pay extra to be uncomfortable?

Girls in skirts always cringe when they enter my car.

i prefer the touch of fine leather, over the finest cloth. Unless those seats are covered in freaking silk, its leather for me. and i aint talking about the hyundai/chrysler/kia special either, im talking lexus grade and up, not kia grade and down.

sad to say, infiniti<lexus in terms of leatherlexus<MB/BMWMB/BMW<Cadillac

We've got 2 caddys, 1 lexus, and my G in the garage, and nothing smells as nice as the interior of mom's 02 escalade. its like sticking your nose in a Cole Haan Leather glove. sex.

To each their own I guess. I just want to go fast. I take out my back seats and all the crap in my trunk all the time. One of these days I'ma try and take out my passanger seat.

They don't cringe after I chloroform them....Actually they don't do much.

Just walk up to them and say "Does this smell like chloroform to you?" Gets them every time. I love cheap dates.

My year atleast. The passanger seat has manual adjustment. Like you pull the lever up and it goes back and the you pull the one in the front to slide it forward and back. I think those are pretty easy to take out. No electronics. The driver seat is electronic.

If I could find nice, Simple, and reletivly cheap racing seats(preferably black to match) I would get them. I just don't like most options. They are too bright and ricey IMO....Or just too damn expensive.

I agree with you opn that one. I had Bourbon leather in my M, and they somehow managed to use Bourbon seats, black everythign else AND tan pillars & headliner. It drove me nuts after a while... but apparently even BMW is guilty of this design flaw.

I saw one with cloth before i got mine, needless to say it look bad as in horrible....Infiniti should never make cars that would be equiped with anything less than leather.....EVER!!! To me it takes awaay from the value of the brand....which is why i Would never buy a mustang because you decent mustangs the ones with the the decent V-8 and leather seats and then you have the rental car version with a weak sorry v-6 and cheap cloth seats, and a lawn mower exhaust. To me it takes away from the brand....sorry for the mustang lovers...dont feel bad camero and firbirds get the same thing....

Have you ever felt the leather on a Ls460 or a SC430!

They have the best leather.. only better is like a bently or something really expensive

The lexus es300/330/350's don't have the greatest leather... I do recall seeing a picture of one of those in your drive way!

yeah, pops gots an es330. i like it for its fragrance, and uniformity of texture. The LS is even better. Lexus really does have attention to detail that lacks in infiniti.

But Lexus lacks the attention to detail in performance and handling which Infiniti excels in. Don't you think so?
