A week ago today Infiniti delivered a Garnet Fire 2003 G35 sedan to our doorstep. Since then we've taken the beast through its paces and remain thoroughly impressed with Infiniti's sports sedan. This is it, today is the day--the last day we'll have the pleasure of riding in Infiniti's RWD-chariot, for now. After logging in nearly 1,000 miles in the G35 we're pretty sure that we know what potential buyers are getting into. It's about time to go through each aspect of the vehicle, step-by-step. Styling We said it before and we have to say it again for anyone that missed it--styling is love-it-or-hate it with the G35 sedan (not so much with the coupe). Many times has the G35 been compared to the Nissan Altima. The dimensions are similar, but these are two different vehicles. The Nissan sibling hangs out a bit more in the front and rear while the G35 has shortened overhangs, more in tune with BMW or other European design. We concede that the rear end could use a bit of work, but is still passable and doesn't suffer from "ugly-butt" syndrome. The C-pillars are pulled back as possible and do help for visibility's sake from the inside of the cabin. On the other side of the vehicle, however, the G35 is solid, we love the bulging arches created behind the headlights and the lamp housings as well. The front bumper isn't overly busy, like so many are today, but it's not deathly dull either. End-to-end the G35 succeeds in design; it's a refined yet subtle look that is further enhanced in coupe form.
