A front-wheel drive G35... what's the point?

Minus the angled crease, the side sheet metal looks pretty similar to the tC's. Door handles, wheel arches, and rear quarterpanels are pretty similar, and the tail lights a little bit as well.

That being said, I don't really like it.

If it were $19,995 for the 6spd V6 my tC would be traded in faster than I can type this post.

somehow i see it being well over 20 thousand mark...the only v6 couple you can get for under 20 would be a tiburon. so uhm yeah, your tc isn't going anywhere...compare with honda accord coupe, pontiac g6, mitsubishi eclipse gt and so on. maybe for the 4cyl model.

...i'm not sure, but i think the g35's platform is actually borrowed from a front-wheel drive platform which is why it is kinda nose-heavy in the weight bias...something i remember csaba csere from car and driver mentioning in an article about platform sharing.

The G35 (Skyline) platform is an extended 350Z and IIRC both have a 52%/48% weight distribution. The Alitima shares the same engine as the G35 and 350Z, but that's where the similarities end.

Wow, a Nissan that's actually not fugly

I dunno what Nissan has been doing for the past several years, but man they have been making ugly cars (350z excluded, that thing's sexy as hell). This one still has hints of the Nissan fugliness in the exterior, but all in all its not bad.

The Grille and the headlights ruin the car. I see more of a G6 coupe than a Tc. I am still glad I have a Tc.
