Once a G, always a G

I sold my 2008 G35 sedan and switched to a Prius due to long commute (120 mile a day!!!) and have missed my G ever since... less than 1.5 year later, I'm back on a G!!! This time, a convertible

Got it last week and been smiling ever since... couldn't be happier!!!
However, I do miss spending under $40 for a full tank of gas on my Prius.............................. aside from that... I DO NOT MISS A THING ABOUT MY PRIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!! Welcome back! I had an altima 2.5 and also traded it for my G and I also don't miss it and the mpg was not that different but the HP gain was!

Glad you de-Prius'd I bet that drive home from the dealer w/ your new convertible was quite memorable

Interesting to see members coming back to the dark side of sub 20mpg from a Prius.

Long live the carbon footprint!

hahaha!!!! I actually consider myself as a super green person... however!!!!!! my prius was just very... very............. very........ borrrring..... you get the point!! it won't go anywhere when you step on the gas!!! ;( I'm willing to give up the space and MPG for something that's more... ALIVEEE!!! I really missed that deep growl of the G

I have such a heavy foot... my MPG on my prius was 38 at the greatest LOL!!! when you're suppose to get at least 45+ combined...

Don't get me wrong, it was a great car, it did what it was supposed to - save gas but it just wasn't for me. I will miss driving my dogs around - one of them is a 90lb boxer... don't know how he's gonna fit in the back of my G now xD
Any of you drive your dogs with your G? Advice on how that works? lol!!
