Getting a G37S

Hey guys...I am leaning towards purchasing an AB G37S auto in the next couple of weeks. I am starting a new job, and my current coupe is too modded to drive to work, so I need something a little more professional looking.

I am just curious to hear from some G37 drivers on what you guys/gals think about the car, how you like it, and any issues I should be on the look out for.

Thanks!!!

We all hate our cars and that's why we spend all our time on the forum.

Love the car, no major issues that are not covered by TSB's. I've had mine for just about a year with 22,000 miles on it and I still look forward to driving it.

I currently have an 03 G35 Coupe 6MT. A bunch of stuff done to it, (Volks, TS Front Bumper, TS Carbon Fiber Hood, Tein Flex Coilovers, Exhaust, Intake, and a bunch of other stuff). I am dropping in a built Cosworth Short block, new heads, APS twin turbo system, and some more goodies around Octoberish.

The car has gone beyond practical at this point, and just by the way it looks it will not pass in the Corporate world. I want people to take me seriously considering I will be close to 10 years younger than most of the people I will be working with.

Everybody's a dam comedian on the forums

To those who responded sincerely thank you for your input. I a very excited to purchase the car. It always helps to hear from people who actually have one...IMO those are the best opinions.

Yes I am getting an auto...I really want the 6MT but I will be in and out of traffic all the time. I think in the end I will be happy with the auto.

No mods planned for the G37 except tint...maybe some wheels (Volk GTF's) but that's it. All of my mod money is going into my G35 Coupe. That thing should be a monster when it's all done. I want to keep the G37 as driver friendly and professional looking as possible.

This is just IMO, and I work in healthcare, not corporate, but:
Doesn't most of corporate America drive one of the black/silver/white color cars? I think the AB is very striking, is there enough of idividuality where you will be working to not stick out?
