Apples to Oranges here. You are comparing a luxury car to a muscle car and at the end of the day most will still pick the muscle over a G37.

To be fair, everyone is entitled to their opinion...even if it's wrong. But I'm embarrased by how many replies this troll received. This thread would have been CLASSIC if the OP was followed by nothing but the sound of chirping crickets.

I'm really siurprised a person would put this comparison on this forum. Camaros and Mustangs yes but Imports come on Were talking American muscle. Camaros will turn heads for a long time yeah the appeal will fade a little as more hit the road but DAMN this car is SEXY.

I replied because this is entertaining. Arguing on the internet is fun. This guy is just looking to be entertained too.

Not a 5th gen.

The only people who come to sites like this to tell people why they bought a different car are insecure about their purchase.

1) The interior is light years more impressive in the G than the Camaro
- high quality materials are used in the G; the surrounding "etched" metal is infinitely more rich than the plastics surrounding the Camaro cockpit - Chevy should be embarrassed with things like the plastic casing of the gear box.

2) It has more HP than the V6 Camaro and pretty much the same torque - now if you are talking the V8 - you win that one.

3) My cost was around $33K for a loaded-up G37S with navigation and rear camera - yes, it had a few miles on it but its tech features crush those found in any current Camaro.

4) Resale - at this moment, the Camaro is holding up nicely - the key phrase: at this moment. It has already begun to take a dive as more and more flood the market - have you noticed that most dealers have several on their lots now? By next year, the value will have dropped 30% or even more in the car - the Infiniti will drop 10%, if that.

5) The G37 is simply a more refined & classy car - the Camaro might be able to get to that level one day but until Chevy fixes huge mistakes like the non-raising passenger seat and the very poorly designed paddle shifters - it's stuck in the late 90's.

I could go on and on but at the end of the day, the G37 is better bang for the buck and a more refined ride that provides the same level of excitement as the Camaro - a much smarter buy.

Have at it.


Drum roll...........and the #1 reason that I picked a G37 over the Camaro...."I'm a dumbass!".:laugh above:

Now back to your tree stump troll, and you better hurry, that 16 year old high school girl is eyeing up you chick car.

Anyone who thinks this car has "collector value" needs to have his head checked. Best effort from GM in ages but the Camaro is still very much a work in progress - especially with regards to the interior.
Okay class, repeat after me: NO ONE BUYS A CAMARO AS AN INVESTMENT. The point you're trying to make is moot.

I love all the resale value comments. IMO, you don't buy a car with the initial thought "yeah I'm gonna sell this once its resale value is through the roof". If you want a car with resale value, get a classic. Get a '69 Camaro Z-28, '68 GTO, '66 Mustang, not a 2009 Infiniti. And about the interior, what the hell did you expect? Infiniti is Nissan's luxury line, just like Cadillac is GMs luxury brand. IMO, GM kicks the shit outta any interior Nissan has to offer(and yes that includes your G37)
