1. Price
2. Exhaust Notes
3. Styling/Design
4. Rims
5. Host of standard features
Dislikes:
1. Cheap leather seats that cracks
2. Car sounds like a tractor on idle.
3. This crazy blind spot I can't seem to compensate for.
4. Puny trunk. I can fit a couple bodies in the trunk of a A5, but on the G37, grocery shopping is a challenge.
5. The interior metal handles scratch way easily.
6. The infamous Nissan rattling.

^^ That's for sure!!! 
I'll leave the best for last...
Top dislikes:
5. Could use some more low-end torque (fixable w/ FI ).
4. 6MT stock shift point is too way high in the clutch travel (5 min fix cured that).
3. The Bose sound system sucks (I will fix this after my deployment
).
2. It's a heavy b****.
But the worst is the ...
1. Crippled technology (menu lockouts/limited voice commands/crappy nav system/music file limit on CF card/limited display & search of music/no USB/seats cant' recline/seats are glacier slow to move forward/you can't see your tire pressure with TPMS/can't even change the friggin background...)!
WHY Infiniti?
Besides #1 above (which is all still very minor stuff), everything is fixable in some way...especially considering the awesomeness of this car which is why I bought it!
Top Likes:
5. It has some great modding potential!!!
4. The design of it all, inside and out.
3. It's great out of the box...stock exhaust sounds awesome and brakes are already big!
2. We are getting a lot of performance, tech, and comfort for a killer price (compared to similar cars in class).
1. The way this car drives/handles!!!!!!! It's got the great power and superb handling when it needs it and the quiet, comfort, and luxoury during the rest of the time I don't.
Cheers!

okay in australia we have to import these cars as they were never delivered officially, same goes with the older skylines which are common in australia nowadays so I;m comparing the latest skyline (G37 to you guys) to my older generation R34 GTT (single turbo 2.5 inline RWD version of the R34 GTR)
Likes:
1. exterior design
2. interior design
3. solid RWD chassis (let down by soft sport suspension but I'll get to that later)
4. stock 19"s are beautiful
5. akebono BBK
Dislikes:
1. Heavy compared to older model Skyline I previously owned (comes naturally with all the options the new skylines come with now)
2. Sport suspension simply does not cut it compared to the older models, My old R34 felt so much more dynamic to drive, Still, considering the skyline has moved more towards a luxury type grand tourer it's not all that unexpected
still, nothing that lowering springs and hotckis swaybars can't fix, it ALMOST feels like driving my old car again and even with thicker sways and lowered it's not that much harsher to drive day to day than before
3. n/a - the V36(G37) has the most factory power than any skyline before it, but the aftermarket tuning potential of the old RB25DET is obviously higher than the VQ37 due to forced induction from factory and has been around longer
4. shifter **** scratches too easily
5. can't think of anything else
I do miss my old car & wish I could have kept it, but I love the V36/G37 as well!
this was my old skyline and this is my new skyline

It's just that everytime I tell someone I am going to get rid of my GS350 to get the G37, people say I'm crazy. My wife really needles me hard about it. I tell people I want more of a "drivers" car that is a coupe but people think it's silly to downgrade. I don't see it that way but everyone has an opinion.
