New G37xS Sedan Owner... Hello, All!

Hello, everyone! Just picked up our new baby today... A 2009 Liquid Platinum G37xS Sedan! This is our first import of any kind, been GM and Ford up until now. Man, does this car rock!

Been looking over a lot of the posts, very helpful people here. We've been active in the Ford Mustang community for a while now (still our first love, that Mustang is definitely a keeper!), but looking forward to becoming active in the Infiniti community as well.

Thanks in advance for any help provided, and we'll do our best to return the favor!

My CD page: http://www.cardomain.com/id/bigworm2005gt. I'll post up pics of the Infiniti when it gets light and I can take some.

Thanks again!

BW

LOL! Which actually is where the nickname comes from. Some friends just tagged me with it one day, and I kept it!

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome! Glad to see more people open to import and domestic cars. Way to many people these days are so biased and won't even consider the other.

@ oOmikeyboy,

I was that way for a long time, but I started to wonder... What exactly is an "American" car these days? The Chevy built in Mexico? Or the Nissan built in Kentucky? Both? Neither?

I realize that Infiniti's are definitely "Made in Japan," but given the current state of US auto manufacturing, I decided to broaden my horizons. The original idea when we started our search was either the Lincoln MKZ or the Cadillac CTS (and boy would I still love a CTS-V!), but Infiniti and Audi had way too much to offer to pass by.

I settled on the Infiniti as the best "bang-for-the-buck" value in this segment. And the grin on my face is worth the price of admission!

Definitely no longer an import or domestic chauvenist any longer. From now on, whatever is the best answer to my needs is what gets my business, regardless of where it's built.

Thanks for the welcome, all!

@ KnoxvilleG37,

Would you believe they gave me full KBB value for that ice cream truck? The high mileage was a loss, though. In the end, though I thought that $16.37 was a fair trade! LOL!

@bschurr,

Totally stoked! Fun to drive and lovin' every mile!

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Me - too (ex-GM) - I just moved over from a G8 GT to the G37. Great car. Sport package is the one to buy, that's for sure.
