With the AWD, that's a car I definitely would have taken a look at.pocketkiller said:Anybody interested...

If anyone feels like it, you can copy that text onto one of those free translation sites and get a quickie English version. I'd do it myself but I don't think you can do that wih this hotel TV internet keyboard that I'm on.pocketkiller said:Yea I was thinking with that equipment, it must have to start around the TL level ~ 33k.
As far as the French site goes, I just know that no information is available in the US on the 05 model (except it should be out in November 04) - so I went looking. Of course if anyone can read French I believe it says (rumored to have AWD) or something to that effect.......
So, this isn't anything close to confirmation of AWD. Nice work, iceman!iceman2cuol4u said:....."Here is the model which will actually replace the IS 300. It is possibly equiped with a motor which develops 280 horsepower, with a 6 cyl, 3.5 litre displacement. The rumours continue to run about an All Wheel Drive version."
That is just a rough translation.
I think that's just about the level of accuracy of our intelligence's Arabic translations.bob shiftright said:....."Here model that that 300 of l should replace' actuelle I. Probably developing dз equipped; the machine 280 horses. There will be 6 cylinders of 3.5 liters. The interrogations controlled likewise on the version AWD."
When I first saw the G35, I also thought it had a pretty ugly rear. Now when I see one, it doesn't seem as bad (must be getting used to it), but I still think it could've been made better. I think the G35 coupe is much better looking all the way around and wish they could've made the sedan look more like it.Ferg said:The problem with the G35 is that it's ugly as hell. Nissan/Infiniti has a real problem with designing the back end of their cars. Usually, the front looks okay, but when I get around the rear I'm all like eeeewwww. And this has been a problem for a while....late 90's Sentras, ick. Fourth generation Maximas, like the one I had -- rear end too blunt. 5th gen Maximas -- ugh. 2nd generation Altimas -- yikes, all around. 6th gen Maximas -- um hello, who's smoking pot? The rear of the G35 looks like it was sliced off and cauterized with a high-powered laser.
Plus the interior is distinctly "Nissan", which I'm pretty sure is Japanese for "cheap plastic".
