I agree with some of the comments. Infiniti seemed to be an ascending luxury brand and I really loved the G35 Coupe, much more than the 350z especially as a 911 fighter. It was very nice at the time. I still see nice examples on the road and admire them.

I think where Nissan/Infiniti went down was they really didn’t keep up. Their engines didn’t dramatically increase output as this second horsepower war has emerged and as stated above, their infotainment and other tech simply lagged the competitors like Lexus and the a German brands. There was a time I would have chosen a G coupe over a Porsche due to the luxury and value but it’s really no contest now. The revised VQ engine which was smooth in earlier iterations is now buzzy and more harsh. It’s not hard to see where they went wrong when you look at the 350z to 370z evolution. While still a great looking car, they milked that platform to the point it barely sells anymore.
