I hear the z has a stiff suspension though? Anyone know if this is true?

a tad bit more expensive but holy hell are they nice.

I haven't driven one yet but cadillac ATS? Seems like they are in the general range you are looking for.

Her options right now are:
Dodge Charger
Ford Mustang
Nissan 370Z
Infinity G37

What do you guys think? And why?

OP - Infiniti is offering $3k rebate on all 2012 G37s. Check to see if you qualify for their supplier pricing. I got ~$8k off a 2012 G37x last month. Same should apply to Nissan of course.

Not many cross shop Infiniti with the other cars you mentioned. Their main competitors are Audi, BMW, Lexus, etc...


Anyway some positives for the G37
- Very comfortable and plenty of power.
- Price is cheap compared to what you're getting, e.g. BMW 335 or Lexus IS350
- Looks good
- Customer service on par with other luxury brands


Infiniti is the closest Japanese imitation of German cars. Handling is almost (but not quite that good) as BMW/Audi/etc. But I can sacrifice that for Japanese reliability.

Usually all the fat ones drive Mustangs. It's kind of depressing.

The only thing that shys her away from the 370z is the lack of rear seat and low luggage space. She doesn't need a lot of luggage space but the 370 seems like you could maybe fit a duffle bag in there at best lol

It would be cool for her to get a camaro but if she got it, it would probably take me like 3 days before I got into her head and started giving her ideas on how to mod it lol. Especially since I have a bit of experience on what to do and what not to do lol
Basically an upgraded package of the GT. carbon fiber dash, inserts, more visual appealing exterior upgrades.

Not saying the Cali Special is for girls but ALOT of ladies choose this version when they buy Mustangs.

I think I might just go talk to an Infiniti dealer and see if I qualify for a rebate like that. If I can qualify, the g37 might be a steal
