I've heard people online say it's girly, but never gotten it in real life. They're just jealous because they have a 350z or something and only get compliments from dudes. Whenever a guy sees my car they always say its awesome and whenever a chick sees it they always tell me how much they love my car. It's the best of both worlds.

I can see how some one may think it is girly in a bone stock form, but once you start modding it and give it a proper stance, it looks sooo good

The only thing I can say is "sleeper". Who wants the Caddy that looks mean, but can't compete with G. I don't want to stand out when I'm enjoying power. I do need to change out the grille though, I'm not a huge fan of the front view, but the other views look great without screaming ARREST ME! It's a sophisticated look, and I think it's sexy, so it better look female!

Well if the Caddy has the supercharged engine, it's the other way around the G can't compete with it (performance wise) but the Caddy looks ugly. I've tried to like given what's under the covers but it's just fugly.

The older style G35 coupes have that older generation JDM style. If you're looking at a 350z and G35 coupe they pretty much are identical and I think that's where people attribute and compare "masculinity" to lol.

^^+1, I be like what's your name girl and how you doing!? Been seeing many female G37c owners which none are modded I've only see male owners with modded G37c around Houston. Think it would be awsum if there were a female owned modded G37c.

Just got back from my Nissan dealer getting an oil change and right in front of me was a very hot gal getting the oil on her 08 G (S) changed. She had another hottie with her. I KNOW they looked a lot better in their G than I do

Well yesturday I saw two 370Z driven by females older ones at that. All types of cars can be own or driven by a women doesn't make you less a man well if you drive a bettle/mini/smart car (death trap).

It's feminine looking due to the "curves", there aren't many real defining lines on the car. They always say the front of a car is designed to look like a face, if it looks like it's snarling and angry it's usually perceived as more masculine, softer or "smiling" and it's feminine.

Either way I think the G looks good, the curves will look better as the car ages. If you notice how aged the first gen CTS caddi's look it's due to their "stealth fighter lines". Seems like everyone including trucks are going to more curves, compare the 90's chevy silverados to the current, much less angular.

Personally I think the "S" version of the sedan looks more manly than the standard coupe's without the IPL/aero bumpers, but does that make either a girly car I don't think so:


I couldn't really find a good similar angle for the coupe, it's mainly the lower air intake scoop, the sedans is bigger and less like a smile, which makes it look slightly more masculine IMO.

couldn't agree more,

captain of a ship or a pilot might refer to their machine using feminine term, i.e., she, her... As a straight guy, I would like other to refer to my car in ferminine terms! I would be petrified otherwise....

The Lexus SC 430. Now there's a feminine car.
