the Infiniti G35 (Nissan GT350) how many doors does it have?
because from the outside i can only see 2 doors but from the inside pics i can see the back seats having door handles?

@p900 lover
Aik... spot on.. yes true.. tats the sedan G35 interior... basically the same interior tho.. but heres how the back seats looks like... spacious too!!
@misscopperfield
Yea i wud guess females wud choose either the infiniti or the peugeot.. sexy curves & lines...
@max99
ok... any other car u wud recommand?
Posted by BobaFett
i would go for a german car... dont u like them?
Posted by 02
@bobafett
German cars?? I LOVE THEM!! but not in prices they come with... maintainance n services is enough just to buy 20inch chrome rims which i will eventually install once i've decided which car to purchase.
Posted by BobaFett
well, i do hope that in the future u can buy a german or at least a swedish one, for me thses 2 options are acceptable according the phrase "car". anyway, i wish u luck with your new vehicle and mind: dont drink and drive! regards.

The infiniti is a rear wheel drive, be carefull with that but all of them I would choose the infiniti for it's torque and design

Posted by solidsingh
defo dont go for the peugeot
Posted by lamont
G35 defo especially with the 20" chrome boomers!! def dont go for the peugeot although that red interior does look rather smart!! lol

Defo the G35. You'll be pimpin mate
Posted by carkitter
Those are three VERY different cars there mate...
The Infinity is a hairy-chested masculine sports car, which a number of experts have said "...requires some effort to drive...".
The Hyundai is a very good all round sporty car but not in the league of the Infinity. Much easier to drive and to live with though I would think. Hyundai is a company making exceptionally good products which are still under-rated by the public at large.
The Peugeot is a handbag on wheels. Buy it if you are female or effeminate.
Just don't expect it to be as reliable as the Japanese cars. More stylish than the Japs and that roof is cool, but some may question your masculinity...
Money no object, I'd take the Infinity(Nissan).
Take the Hyundai if you want to save some cash, it's a great car too.
What about the Mazda RX8?
I know it's technically a 4 door, but it's in the same class as the Infinity and US$8K less. I've driven one of these and they have great presence.

@BobabFett
Yea.. defiantely gonna get one of those.... thanks for your words...
@max99
tats the nissan Z... yea a 2seater... the thing is 2seater car is hot.. but i'll be lonely... same with BMW Z4...
@lamont & JT
yea... juz wanna get an affordable sports car.. that looks fly on the road...
@carkitter
yep true... 3different cars.. but with the same concept.. its seems the french car (peugeot) isnt in any1 favor... hhmm yea mazda RX8... didnt know it cost US$8K less... hhmm gonna check my local pricing.. i believe its alot expensive in here... ASIA. Yea i tried the RX8 very impressive... but stability lacks a little.. n sensitive steering aswell... the Hyundai coupe a fast car... solid too... drove it till 240km/h n its very stable.. responsive steering..
Looks like the INFINITI G35 is at the top... hhmm.... no conclusion yet coz the hyundai is interesting aswell... thanks everyone.. keep ur opinions coming...

Audi S3, TT, GTi 5, the VW EOS (is it launched yet?), Alfa GT, BMW 330 drop top.... theres lots to choose from.
Not sure boat the Infiniti we dont have them here, but dont go for that hyundai, my mom had it for a company vehicle once the 2.5... sad little car..... burnt the shit out of it!!!
