None of the Magazines gave any decent feedback on the Infiniti G35

It just hit me tonight after reading Autoweek, Motor trend and Car & Driver (still have to read Road & tracks review) that not one magazine really left me the feeling of I have to drive this car.

Meanwhile it's got all the makings of a great driver's car and some excellent competition for the 3 series.

It seems to me that most of the articles were all fluff basically describing the car as Infiniti told them to during there introduction and then they probably let them take a couple of laps with it.

My best guess is the Magazines really couldn't put the car through it's paces and therefore really couldn't give us any REAL feedback.

We'll have to wait for a real road test and maybe I'll even go and test drive it when it comes out !!

Overall I am disappointed that the Magazines couldn't come right out and say 'Infiniti didn't really give us enough time to give you a road test'

G35 is 5 series sized, no?

i thought i read that the G35, while meant to compete with the 3 series, is larger. read into that what you will, but to me, that means heavier. like 3400 to 3500 pounds heavier.

and in the latest car and driver, they did track the slushbox and the driver feedback is a bit "insulated".

it's great to have cars such as the G35 because that means BMW will be upping the HP in the 330 shortly. probably as soon as next year.
