The exterior of the new G35 is more coupe like--a tremendous improvement over the sedan (which I didn't like) it replaces. The side roofline has a very 3-series-like look about down to the Hoffmeister kink. The "sword-inspired" grille has an interesting detail twist.

I thought the 54/46 front/rear distribution of the coupe to be a little off, and the sedan is 53/47. Perhaps if they had a 3.0L instead of a 3.5L, the weight would be more 50/50. I test drove a friend's 2006 G35 coupe, and it doesn't have the same road feel and precision of an E90, but it was still awfully nice.
