When the Coupe concept came out, everyone was raving about it. They were like ***, why did we buy the G35? Damn.. etc etc..
Then, the "new" revised drawing came in and we all said WTF happend. And when the spy photos was released, we said the same exact thing.
Then, when we saw one, "blue slate" roll pass by us at the parking lot, we didn't even see the difference from the pictures. It was still ugly. And the interior, yes it nice, but nothing new. I mean, with the headlight recall and evertying, we all saw how it looked like with the new sedan. Give or take a few minor differences.

G37 isn't a hit. Face it. My co-workers talk about cars all the time. They care less about the G37. When the G35 came out, all we could talk about is, damn, we're gonna get one of those someday. And we all did. I got mine late 2006. Took a while but I got it.

Anyway...I don't think we can really get an idea of what is going to happen with the G37 sales wise until next spring/summer.

Okay...what I really would like to know is how you and your co-workers can judge the sales of the G37 in this short of a span of time. The car was officially released, what, August 21st? You are going to judge a car's sales numbers in a 10 day span? You're kidding, right?

No ... I doubt it'll be in the high C$60k mark for a G37. I was over at my local dealership and the cars here are very well equipped in the "base" form. Pretty much the main difference is sport model (6MT ... starting a shade over C$50k) or auto tranny (C$48 xxx). Freight is C$1750 (I think). Between those models, the options are either navigation (C$2700) +/- 4 wheel steering (C$1300). That's what I roughly remember those packages cost. Even if you add 14% Ontario / fed gov't taxes, it'll be low-to-mid C$60k. Too much, compared to the US model, definitely, but not into BMW 335 or Porsche territory ... 
I want to see what the CarCostCanada price is to see what the invoice is on this car. I also want to see when VPP pricing is available since I will be able to take advantage of it!

I'm gonna go see the car at the dealership tomorow and will ask for fun. I'm wondering if they even sold any since they got them about 2 weeks ago. If it doesn't sell well, I think it will be a good thing for everyone, it will give us power to negotiate a better price.

I thought it was gonna be a little higher due to little "hidden" fees like AC taxe. You're right, I have the MSRP sheet a dealer in Toronto gave me and it's $53850 AT sport with hi-tech package. It brings the car to $64K including freight and taxes (excluding other dealership fees). It's still very expensive for the majority of people here.
