I wish I had enough money to even dream of making the hard decision between the 35 and STI......
Dan and Peanut 
But if I had the money I'd go STi all the way, reason is I'm young, don't need luxury right now, and want a car I can drive the **** out of, Plus like mike, I don't give a **** about everyday driving

I got behind one on the KAM through PC. Beautiful.
I tried to keep a bit of a distance so he wouldn't think I was trying to scope him out and maybe race.
Street racing is bad, boys & girls.

If anyone does get the G35 DO NOT take me for a ride, I wont cry out loud, but might a little bit inside. I do like the rougher ride and all and the sorta outright sport feel of the STi, but there are times when a nice smooth ride AND sleeper power would be nice.
Too many decisions in life I guess, but Im happy...

I get sleepy driving anyways, so something as plush and comfortable as the G35 would put me to sleep...

The ride is not that soft. It has huge 18"s on it and the suspension is hard, but a little forgiving. The seats are very firm, not mushy like in other luxury cars. I can wait to put one around some cones.
Plus, if you got a little sleepy all you'd have to do is turn the VDC off! wooo WOOOOOO!
I'm not trying to take anything way from the STi, the car f-ing rocks. If I could could have 2 cars the STi would be one of them, then a G35 coupe. But I can only have 1.
And after 2-3 years I think the G35 would be the better one to have.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet... but I'd feel a lot more comfortable parking a G35 rather than a STI. Seems that vandals and punks pass up on the "classier" type cars, like the G35. These guys usually target cars that appeal to the youth market, because it's cars that these young punks usually can't afford. Jealousy plain and simple. They don't care about causing damage and pissing off middle aged people who drive BMWs, Merecedes, Lexus, or Infinitis. They want to inflict pain on the younger folk, like them, that typically drive an RSX, WRX, or STI
I'd still get an STI over a G35, but I'd never leave it parked somewhere in public for more than 5 minutes.
