'handbrake' placement
so, the G37 is a sports car. Why the hell is the handbrake a footbrake? (It's located for foot, isnt a handbrake at all...)
I'm not sure if the 6MT is like this as well, but this is something I found very odd, and was curious what others think

the 6MT is an actual handbrake, the 5AT/7AT is a footbrake i believe...
now i'm wondering why you're asking such a question if you don't have a 6MT, no offense

the g is gt car, not a sports car. if it was a sports car, most people would rag on you for getting an auto.

i wouldnt necessarily call it a hand or foot brake.
Parking brake sounds more like the appropriate term. Hand and foot brakes are a subset of that.
Either way, they do the same freakin thing, who cares!

I see not point in ruining the center console for the hand break.
