Still No G35 Sitings

I still haven't spotted my first G35 on the roadways. I've spotted alot of new ' 02 Maximas recently. A few ' 02 Altimas but mainly the 2.5L. BMWs are everywhere. BMWs are becoming as common as Hondas and Toyotas in my area. Does anybody know how G35 sales are going ?

i heard G35 sales are okay.. everybody's buzzing about the coupe, but IMO it looks like the RSX for some reason.. especially the back.

yeah lots of BMWs around where i live too.. too commonplace. i do however, like the new 7 series. i've seen 2 of those here already.. nice.

I haven't spotted a G35 either yet. However, one of my friend got a chance to race one with his 2002 M3 on the highway. He was mighty surprised with it's performance. He said it looked pretty hot too. It was Red.

I see lots & lots of new Altimas around here. They are like... everywhere! I think people in NY loves Nissan.

You can find Maximas like cookies here.

Check this site. There's an article about April sales being a record and mainly due to G35.

I've spotted two G35's so far: one black and one silver. I think they look even better in person. I'm in the S.F. Bay Area.

Haven't seen any up here in Portland, OR. I only see about 2-3 max's a day on my drive to and from work as well (40mins each way) and their usually 2k0/1s. Not that many Altimas either. There seems to be a lot of stangs up here...and corollas...oh and lexus IS300's.

not to mention the HUNDREDS of integras, civics and eclipses all RICED.

Me too...Los Angeles area about 5. Pretty good considering I haven't seen a new CTS yet.

They are all over San Diiego, but everyone is an old geezer, so the chances of a race are not good !

Have seen about five or six here in Dallas on the tollroad. Saw a black one parked about a couple of weeks ago. Looks a heck of a lot bigger in real life than in pictures. I agree with all that don't like the rear on the sedan. I beleive that I will wait on the coupe.

I work down the street from an Infiniti dealership. I see G35s being test driven down this curvy stretch of road a lot, but none of them will race because they're probably older or they don't want to scare the salesman

A customer of mine came in with a brand new silver G35 and wanted to do pop up nav in his dash. Infiniti wants $4G's for their popup nav. Ouch!

Along with your 22K trade did the Infiniti dealer want MSRP on the G35? BTW, I was sort of surprised to get a phone call from an Infiniti salesman that I spoke with recently at one of the Infiniti dealerships. Hmmm ? I thought that chasing potential customers was a No-No for luxury car dealers.
