When will the changes go into affect? Starting in October, 2004 the 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe will go on sale across the nation, joined by an updated sedan. Both G35s will be equipped with automatic transmissions, while 6-speed manual versions will become available later in December.
As previously mentioned, the current G35 Coupe has become one of my favorite cars. It is stunningly styled, as attractive as any car for any price. Its refined drivetrain is among the best in the industry, and combined with an athletic suspension system it dances around curves with nimble alacrity - few cars are its equal.
