Nissan 350z vs. Infiniti G37
I'm from Canada.
What kind of crack is Nissan Motors smoking to price the new 2008 Infiniti G37 $2000 LESS than the 350z??? $47K vs $49k! |
the good kind
|
I assume they aren't sure how it will sell so they want to make it reasonably affordable????for that segment anyways. I find nissan overpriced as it is......so I'm not the best judge.
|
It's VERY tough to find a G37 without a lot of options. In fact I stopped at a dealer last week to check out the car and there was one car in the entire US that didn't have a sunroof.
Also, I don't know where you're getting your pricing info from but in the US the Base Z is still about 7k cheaper than the base G37. |
the pricing is right according to nissan.ca and infiniti.ca
The pricing doesn't make any sense, just as the prices of all cars now that canadian dollar is > US dollar. ________ Avandia settlement info |
g37 coupe or g37 sedan? in the past, the g35 sedan was msrp-ing under 350z at about 40k cdn.
|
G coupe.
|
That's nuts considering the interior of the Z is circa 2003 Altima-style.
|
^ and it blew chunks even then. I remember I was helping a friend choose a new car around that time and she wouldn't even consider the Altima because of it's interior. She ended up getting a TSX.

~18k versus ~28k. No surprise. I looked at and test drove both cars in 2003, along with a Mazda6. I bought the Mazda6. |

At that time, the base price of an Altima was about 10k cheaper than an Acura TSX.

Why don't you compare the 350Z to the RX8? I don't think anyone's done that yet.

G37 >>> 350z. Infiniti badge and dealership experience, better interior, cleaner lines, rear seats. I would presume the new 370z to have circa-2005 Altima interior. Yay.
|
Back to the main topic here guys..... Is Nissan on CRACK for pricing the new G coupe $2000 below the 350z in Canada?
It's more luxurious, MORE POWER, more badge-name, and costs LESS? WTF? |
Keep in mind the G37 looks like a bloated pile of crap. It's now the size of a small house.
|
^........actually, its a bit smaller than the 07 G35

Acura just didn't offer a stripped base model, which my friend was not looking for anyway. Long story short, she got a loaded TSX for a little less than the 28K that you quote as "base" price for the TSX (granted there is not a huge list of expensive options on the TSX, but nav is definitely one). We checked and test drove just about every car in the segment - including the Mazda 6, which was definitely the best driver of the bunch . . . but that's not everything. Trust me, I did advise her to at least consider the Altima but no-go because of the interior. And also, price was not the limiting factor in the purchase, she just wanted the best car she could afford. I can't argue that she made the wrong choice because after all was said and done, I recommended the TSX . . . which as it turns out is a damn fine car for the money. Back OT, yes Nissan is on crack! :) |

Sorry, not to keep this thread off topic but for some reason I couldn't access it for the last day or so.

Canada is pretty crazy considering US prices for a base Z are 28K & a G37 is 35K....
As for the horsepower statement, it wont be long before the Z gets the 3.7 Motor, and really, the Z is probably faster still as its not loaded down as the G is. |

Kind of off topic. Just wondering how much the 400Z and GT-R would cost next year?
|
G37 over current Z, just for luxury and liveability.
