I find it amusing- I bet for every 10-15 threads theres a g35 thread on the 6th gen forum-

From my observation I would guess evey 6th gen owner kicks themselves in the **** at least once a day when they see a G35

Are you guys for real- If you wanted this Max why are you comparing it and building a case for your Max againt the G35-

The G35 is superior in handling/ acceleration/ braking/ dealer service/ prestige / and now AWD- there is no comparison!

Get over it already!

I come in here to hear and leard about the 6th gen-
and you guys cant stop talkin about the G35 (pretty aint it)

 

I think the problem is exactly the opposite... it's guys like you that don't own a G35 or 6th gen that want to keep bringing it up. You are a troll by the fact that you added the 4th paragraph. The 6th gen in my opinion is a nicer looking car. G35 kind of looks like a 71 Chevy Vega from the front. 6th gen has more room which I need. Better looking interior layout (love the Star Trek bridge look). Last week in the snow I was doing better than one G35 that I saw at the school where I picked up my son. (G35 could not get up small incline drive, I pass him and went on my way ).

How do you hear anything on this website? My speakers are turned on but no sound comes out when I enter this forum. Is the 6th gen forum lacking a feature that the other forums have for sound? What is leard? How does one leard? Does one leard by being a troll?

 

You have to admit it takes a special kind of hutzpa for someone who drives a hermaphroditic beam axle '4 door sports car' to make fun of a 6th gen.

 

Why not? They're both great cars for the same general price from the same company.

From my observation, a 5th gen owner on this forum makes at least one ignorant comment like this per day.

Read the first post in the thread. It's by a guy who totalled his Acura and is looking into the car.

Oh, except for the fact that the G35 is...

a) tiny - EPA compact class - too small for people with families
b) not everybody wants RWD. The TL sells tons with FWD.
c) not everybody wants a big flashy lux badge.

Shut the hell up already.

Nissan was intelligent enough to realize that there are two completely different types of people in this price range to sell cars to. One group wants one thing, the other group wants the complete opposite. Therefore, we have the Maxima and the G35. If you buy a Maxima to go fast, handle, and take the twisties well, you're an idiot. Likewise, if you buy a G35 to haul your family and lots of stuff around, you're equally stupid. It is a COMPACT car.

You're not learning a darn thing because you don't seem to know crap about what the car really is. The Maxima is not a G35. Likewise, the G35 is not a Maxima. Two different cars for two different types of people.

 

When you're right, you're right!

 

Well said.

 

yea what he said

 

yea what he said

 

I have to admit if you're looking to mod your car you have to get a G35, it has a huge potential cuz shared engine/chassis with 350Z and skyline bits. There will be tons of kits available for G's plus usual Nismo stuff.

 

Agreed ...

A few, things to add.

Max is not that much slower, or poorer in handling. It's close enouph with it's size, FWD, ...

The G35 replaced the G20 which was a "lessor" car in the Infiniti line-up hence the G35 is a lessor car in the line-up under the I35 which is based on the old Maxima. Although the G35 is closer to the I35 than the G20 ever was still ...

Look at Lexus and the IS300 vs ES300/ES330. Just because the IS handles very very well and is RWD in no way suggests it's better than the ES.

Many want to talk about how "fast" the G35 is and use Mag times, well let's play that game for a second (which I have gotten to hate), so the Altima is a better car because it got 0-60 5.8 and ... that's right in line with the G35C (motortrend)... so it's settled the Altima is the greatest Nissan(Infiniti) sedan ever.

 

Actually Steve the 4th gen did it won Motor Trends Import Car of the year in 1995 beating out some tough rivals, and it was on the front cover of all of the Mags (C/D,M/T etc I still have them) when it was introduced unlike any other but the 3rd gen.

 

YOU have got to be kidding!

The only time the G35 or Acura TL is brought up in this forum is when it is from a non 6th gen owner asking questions like "why would you buy a Maxima over a G35/TL?"

So obviously when you get these statements in a 6th Gen Maxima forum, you are going to get a lot of responses from happy 6th gen owners making their cases, right???

I'm glad you think the G35 is superior, I'm happy for you. I like the G35 very much, but the Maxima fit my needs better, and I couldn't be happier.

"From my observation I would guess evey 6th gen owner kicks themselves in the **** at least once a day when they see a G35." - This statement is not only stupid, but it is most definetely untrue.

So as long as non 6th gen owners keep bringing up comparisons of G35s, etc, you can expect to see responses from 6th gen owners. Unless you can stop these ignorant comparison threads form happening, you'll have to get over it.

 

There is nothing ignorant or objectionable about the comparison. If you recall, the guy who started the thread is considering both cars as a replacement for his TL. What could possibly be MORE appropriate than to ask in a 6th gen. forum for opinions on the Max versus the G35?. The vehicles different, to be sure, but are sufficiently similar to be cross-shopped as evidenced by the 6th gen. owners who explain why they chose the Max.

It seems there are a few on this forum who believe it should be reserved for 6th gen. owners to stroke each other into a fit of giggles about how wonderful their cars are. You appear to be a subscriber to this particular view of utopia. Too bad that in the morning, you gotta wake up to a dose of reality. Get over it already.

Did you actually read his post before replying to it? And no, this isn't where 6th gen owners come to be stroked. This is where we come to be ridiculed.

 

Agreed. The comparison itself is not ignorant. But the ignorant people that make ignorant comments and who aren't being fair to the merits of both cars are what makes the thread as a whole ignorant.

Wrong. The only people here doing that are 5th genners when comparing the G35 to the Max "giggling" about how "superior" the G35 is when the two cars don't even compete with each other, nor are they even in the same class in the first place.

Equally stupid. He said he likes both cars but that the Maxima suited him better. I am the same way. If you want to compare then compare. But the ignorant comments about how any 6th genner must be "kicking themself" for not getting a G35 are purely stupid. Period.

Too bad you don't understand either.

 

Golly gee Stevie, maybe when I gwow up I can hope to be a smart as you. You're just sooooo intelligent!

Jaeger

 

Once again....G35 owns all Maxes..Infiniti service owns Nissan till kingdom come !....RWD owns us all ! .... Some of you guys are too to admit it . so you must be in a 7 year loan,....thats

 

As we have all come to expect from you, another provocative and inciteful [sic] post. Good job!

 

You originally said you were just going to say "two things". This is now your THIRD post in this thread...

For somebody that really doesn't like the 6G, you sure do spend a lot of time in the 6G forum.

 

Oooh! An intellectual orger! You must have alot going on to overanalize every comment posted- Good use of your education! You are so 0000000 smart!

 

lol

 

First of all... the personal attack ... Troll? You are an idiot! I dont waste precious time editing my posts so suck a fat one!

And tearing appart the exterior of the G35 is retarded when many people share similar negative feelings toward the 6th gen- (Saturn Ion rear quarter panel/ infamous buck tooth) You are like horse with blinders- if your car was made up of donkey **** you'd keep smiling-

Regardless I like the 6th Gen- as you do- but dont fool yourself- You guys can pretend that you have the "poor man's infinity" but you dont-

The fact lies before you - the G35 was MotorTrend Car of the year whereas
the 6th Gen Maxima has suffered the worst reviews I believe a Maxima has ever received- and for credible reasons.

 

OK....now that we've seen the worst come out in all of us, we need to wonder the real reason for the enormous backlash that 6th gen owners get when we speak highly of our purchase. If certain 5th gen owners like the G35 so much, then why don't they go buy one and become a member of a G35 forum?????????? Why do they constantly post threads in the 6th gen forum if they hate the car so much??????????

I keep getting answers like "We're just stating our opinions, so get over it".
It would be like me going into the Pontiac Aztec forum (if there is such a thing) and posting how much I hate that thing...doesn't make sense, does it?

Once again I like the G35 for what it is. I'm very proud of Nissan/Infiniti for making such a car. I just liked the Maxima better for my needs.

I was under the impression that .org members were Maxima enthusiasts no matter what generation...obviously I was wrong...too bad.

 

OK THAT DOES IT!!

NEXT POST THAT COMPARES 6TH GEN TO >>>ANYTHING<<< IS GETTING LOCKED.

IF THE POSTER DOES IT AGAIN I'M GOING TO BAN.

This is your last and final warning. You guys can't even discuss a simple topic w/o acting like morons!

Next person who starts a flame/personal attack WILL BE BANNED.
I WILL NOT LIFT IT.
