Saying so long...

After a fun 5 months - and 2 accidents and multiple mods - I traded my '11 G37S in today.

Picked up a 2012 EX35 loaded - which is better for my 100 lb Doberman. I've had a 08 G35S sedan (loved it), a 2011 Maxima (liked it alot - but got hit), the G - and now the EX. We also have a 2012 FX35.

The G is a superb car for the money - build quality, ameneties, performance - but after my accident it's too tight for me, and at 48 years old...it's time to get back to reality.

Enjoyed the forums here - too bad there is not the enthusiasm for the EX. I do plan on butching it up a bit.

BTW - i got a SICK deal on the EX - which made up for the dimished value on the 11 G. And now that i have actualized the loss in value - I can sue for those $$ as well as my medical.

Gotta love California.

yikes, 2 accidents in 5 months.

But I hear the EX is a lot of fun too. Enjoy. Too bad no EX37 here in the states though.

I hear that the G37 muffler fits an EX. So options are open!
See if UpRev can help!

My wife drives the EX, but it's leased, so no mods there!!

Hmmm....G37 muffler on an EX - interesting.

I already miss the G and the sound.

But my back does not, my head (headroom) room does not, and also swinging those big doors in my tiny LA garage is much easier.

I already have a list of mods - spacers, chrome delete, cross bars, tint, switch the maple accents for aluminum. Sway bar/bracing if available.

Ho hum - it never ends.

Why do they sell them without factory tinted glass?

Are they considered a car?

If im not mistaken, in Japan the EX is actually the skyline crossover a.k.a 370 GT

Max, I'm pretty sure they put the 3.7 in the EX overseas, but the states get the 3.5 motor. Interesting picture you posted though "SKYLINE CROSSOVER"

The wheels on Parks EX look sooo much better too.
