G37, Will it have after market parts?
The shared platform of the 350z helped the performance of the g35, but will we see a lack of compatible parts because there is not matching Z? I don't see this car being as successful as the last.

Under your logic, cars like the Cobalt SS and SRT-4's should sell like crazy...neither of them are no longer in production (well the Cobalt SS is done after this year).

Having parts that work on two different performance cars engines tends to help drive the need to make the parts.
As to after market parts for GM's, that for people wish they could have a better car.

Agreed. Although I'm not crazy about bodykits, the concept has me spoiled. The G37 NEEDS a bodykit...

But as likwidfuzion said... I wouldn't mind there being less G37s on the road either! Unlike the 3-series coupe which is numerous.

Similar to what you said yimbie, theress alot of people who dont own a g35 but want the g37, or they wanted the g35 didnt have the money and found out about the g37 coming out, have the money and want it because it's new.
I cant really picture a body kit for this car, and i cant really picture what aftermarket companies will do with this car either. I know they will do something.

The G37's big price increase over the G35 was a shocker. Just for this reason alone, and the new wishy-washy exterior look plus strong competition I think the G37 will not sell as well as the G35 did (after the initial rush wears off).
