They have a written article on this test on their website. It's actually not that great. Tested 0-60: 6.2 sec and 1/4 mile at 14.6. Just to put that into reference the Altima coupe they tested posted 0-60 6.4 sec and 1/4 mile 14.8, and the 2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan had a 0-60: 6.2 and 1/4 mile at 14.8 as well.

The 07 G35 sedan was 0-60 5.7 and 1/4 mile 14.2.

Those numbers can't be right. Does the driver know what he's doing?

I know what you mean, those numbers don't look right at all, but that's what they have listed:

I saw the review and the tires were squealing the whole way. I am sure that is the reason accell was slower then most

Watched it this morning before work.

They liked the car a lot. A lot of references to Euro handling, looks, feel.

The negatives were numb steering and breaking.

Overall it sounded like a favorable review, they didnt say much about the acceleration, probably because they knew it was off, even for the 5AT. I bet they were trying to use the paddleshifters when they would have been better off just leaving it in DS, but I'm just guessing. The launch they showed had the wheels sqeeling pretty much all the way through first.

Just watched it. It looks tight in red.

The rear end looks decent with the stock spoiler. Without the spoiler, that chrome trunk lip looks terrible.
But overall, it's a very nice looking luxury-sports car(As you notice, it's not a sport-luxury car anymore).
It's too bad that they didn't test a 6MT.

If I would have waited one year, I probably would have bought a g37. However, I got a great deal on my '06 g35 coupe so I have no regrets.
