Yeah.. I ordered a Platinum Graphite back in June, but was seriously considering an IP. So wouldn't you know it, my dealer gets the IP as their sample. Just taunting me.

I just spied one on the road a few minutes ago.
It looked good - a lot smoother than the previous gen.
That said, it's a piggy if it weighs 3700lbs. Screw that. heh.
Also going to a preview event later this week.

I've been able to drive both a 6MT and 5AT G37 coupe and I have mixed feelings on the car. The chassis is much stiffer and with that the handling and ride quality are both greatly improved. The car rides softer, yet handles better at the same time. Very much like how the 07 sedan feels compared to the 03-06, this is the same change over the 03-07 coupes. However, you can definitely feel the extra weight in this car. It does have more power, better handling and great brakes, but all of that is offset a bit by the added weight. It's not quite as nimble as you may expect and I feel most of that is due to the weight.
If you're looking for a more luxurious G35 coupe, then you'll really like this car as it's definitely MUCH nicer inside and has all the technology you could want. If you're looking to upgrade to get a nicer, more luxurious car, still with a bit of sportiness then Infiniti definitely hit the mark.
However, if you're looking for the G37 to be a sportier G35 coupe (thinking 350z w/ backseat), then this car may leave you wanting a little more.
