People don't buy BMW for the name. Well, I'm sure some of them do, and the girls that buy them probably do, but most do not. People drive them because they kick azz, period. Just look at all the automotive reviews. They win just about every one, doesn't matter if it's the coupe, the sedan, the 5 series, convertibles, no matter. They just drive superior to most everything else out there, have great resale value and warranty, better fuel economy, and most look really nice (335 in particular).
If you want to talk about buying because of the name, that would be MERCEDES, Range Rover, JAGUAR, all cars that are inferior in many cases to a BMW or INFINITI, yet sell because of the panache and expensive price.

yeah right, mostly all people buy it because of the name. like they do mercedes. most people have seen it as the ultimate sign of success.

so who ever said that obviously dont have a clue. and if you honestly believe that MERCEDES, Range Rover, JAGUAR are inferior to BMW you need to lay of the crack pipe.

and Nissan/infiniti its just now really getting into the true sports luxury car game and have come far pretty quick to have the G37 rival the 335i the way it does and have alot of car mags pick it over the 335i. so they are here now.

But alot of people would pick toyota/Lexus over BMW if lexus catered to sports as well as luxury. But they have always been more abou tluxury but thats all about to change now with the F series.

Well, how many times have you seen a production car be the same as the concept? If they were supposed to be the same, then there would be no reason to call one a "Concept" car!

By the way, I have to say this, some people don't have a clue what they want in a car. They may not even know what the name Infiniti stands for when shopping for a sports car.

I personally like the Infiniti brand, because it is an alternative to the BMW, with better looks (that's personal) similar performance, better reliability, and competitive price. I personally could care less about not carrying the BMW badge on my car. Let's face it, it's not about the brand, it's about the whole package. For me, the choice is clear.

By the way, the G37S will be landing in my garage in a day or two.

Cheers!

So that must mean there is a reason people aren't picking the G over the 335i?

It's a higher price (than last gen.), lack of cachet, and and ignorant customer base. There are still people that have no clue what Infiniti is. Infiniti doesn't help themselves (I think their marketing is anemic). That's what Infiniti has to fight, unfortunately.
Actually, my experience is that a lot of ppl DO NOT like the looks of the new G37 and that's hurting sales. I would say that's the biggest complaint I hear about it from other drivers. If the G37 is to compete with the 335i coupe, it's still a little cheaper so that shouldn't be a primary reason for sluggish sales. Believe me, I'm a huge G35 fan and the G37 just doesn't do it for me.

I think the major problem for this new series of G's is that it doesn't distinguish itself enough from the previous generation. People want their car to look brand new/ground breaking and this generation just takes too many of its styling traits from the old one.

I hear what you're saying about concept cars but car makers create concept vehicles for market reaction. That's why many different types of concepts are conceived but only a few get actually built. Either Infiniti had already made a choice on the G37 design when they showed the concept coupe or they decided that the public doesn't know what they're talking about and made it look like the sedan. Bad move. Besides, the concept coupe was fairly similar to the G35 albeit some line changes and the headlights, that it was conceivable that Infiniti was going to build a coupe that looked extremely similar. If you look at many past threads when the concept came out, there were a boat load of G35 owners that practically prayed the concept coupe would go into production.

I agree with you that Infiniti is an excellent alternative to BMW and the like. They're very nice cars and offer unique styling and performance at more affordable prices.

People who like to troll like this are sad! If someone doesn't like the G37, they should really get over it, nobody cares. The G37 is doing well and Infiniti did an awesome job!

It comes down to the buyer. Many of you love the new G37 and rightly so. It still is a good looking car and has great performance. Have fun with your new wheels folks.
