Switching to the G
What rides have you owned before switching to the G?
I used to drive a 2003 Impala as a daily and a 2002 Camaro Z28 manual on the side. Got tired of having two cars and wanted performance near the Camaro, the passenger room of a sedan, and AWD for snow. G37 was the best match, only disappointment was I couldn't get a manual with the AWD.

drove a 2001 BMW 330i that I bought new. Great ride for 10 years. Couldn't stand some of the design changes in the new 335s. Plus love gadgets. g37x has been a ton of fun to drive.

Mitsubishi Eclipse '94 -> Toyota Corolla '92 (wifes, traded in Eclipse for Jeep for her) -> Chevy Prizm '00 -> 2009 G37xS (purchased new 1 year ago).
The Prizm is still the daily car. The G is waiting until the Prizm fully dies. It leaks oil. Parts are breaking all over the place, but it still runs.
