dont get the G!!! i think im starting to suffer from shaken-baby-syndrome lol but in all honesty i dont know how strollers work or fold for packing but take a look at a 37s trunk space, its terrible my biggest pet peeve of this car! Id go with something that rides smooth and has four doors, nothing that rides on rails and has the stiffest suspension ever! i dont think the STi or Evo would be good ones either as theyre guna ride like the G aswell with stiff suspension, wut about a crossover like the EX or FX? or do u need a sporty 4 door car?

^haha.
Congrats on the baby, the human one. I'd get the machine one too since the wife's got a Murano and you said most of the baby hauling would be done with that. So if it's just once in a while, the G shouldn't give you too much of a headache, if any. Most of the time when the baby is not in your G, you'd get to enjoy it. But if your car would be served to drive the baby around quite often, I'd get the IS350 or 335i sedan over the G sedan.

My kids are mostly grown but after seeing the coupes trunk (lack of)
I think I will go for the 09' sedan. The coupe does look 10% sexier
but....
Maybe on the days you have the little one you can keep the Murano
and the wife can take the other car. Best of both worlds kind of scenario.
Congrats on the new additions.

since most of the hauling will be done in the Murano and the G still fits four I would go with the G. i was in a similar situation. when my son was born i had an RSX and then went to my current G because almost anytime we go anywhere we take my girl's Titan.. Plus, we sometimes go in the G since it does fit my son in the back nicely...

Personally a baby wouldn't stop me from getting a G coupe.
A baby would stop me from getting a 350Z, Corvette, Viper [and he did that's why I'm here]....not a G.
Granted that you will have less space to carry baby related items fitting the baby onto the back seat is a matter of getting use to. I've alway had a coupe type of car and now after 5 years of having to attach and remove both my son and his car seat its not really that laboursome or tedious anymore, specially now that he's upgraded to a "booster seat".
As far as the ride is concern, although the G coupe's ride is pretty soft as it is, if you want softer I'd go for the Honda Accord coupe EX V6. If I hadn't gotten a G, I would've gone for that. Its styling really resonates with me.
For Sedans, I'd tend to go with the TSX, IS350 or the 335/328
I never liked the styling of the 335/328 coupe but I think the sedan looks hot.
As for the G37 sedan? It doesn't even exist in my world. I believe that its more of an after thought from the coupe.
The G looks absolutely stunning as a 2+2 but really looks ugly as a sedan.
