thanks for the input man. It makes a lot sense.

funny you ask..i so wish i could trade in my 8 for a g35 coupe..i am obsessed with them, dont get me wrong, love my 8..but really love g35 coupes. my mom has an fx35..traded in her H2 for it..it is a SWEET crossover..fasttt, luxurious, and the exhaust sounds amazing. Id for sure go with one of those..id love to have a G37 S coupe for my next car! Oh..there is a 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe near me for sale..only like 30,XXX miles for like $14K!! It has the intelligent key, bluetooth, and all..plus clean title..greatt buy. Very nice cars. Good luck!!

Don't sell yourself short. A Subaru is just getting warmed up at 100k miles. I traded mine in for the 8 at 215,000 miles and it probably had more life in it than that. Best car I've ever owned in regards to reliability.

Of course 100k is just scratching the surface, I just don't want to put anymore commuter miles on because I love it too much.
I start driving the 8 today. We will see how it goes. Thanks for everyones input.

^ Yeah he said coupe.
I've driven the G35 and the 350z. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the looks of them, but after driving them..... meh.... Fast, but the mt feels far to gated. I like alittle slop space to play with getting from 2nd to 3rd and so on. Also felt very clostraphobic (sp) in the g35. (How do you think they got those back seats in there?)
Go with what feels more comfortable after driving them.
