Drove a G35

not the coupe but the sedan. So it was 265HP if I remember correctly.

Car was fun, the auto/clutchless manual was great. The mark needs one :) It seemed geared more for acceleration and ran high in the RPMs (compared to what I'm used to.) Handling was a little less than what the Mark had and so was the ride. The suspension is a little stiff on it in my opinion.

Into the interior, the seats were great. They felt great, they held you great and the reclining rear seats were yum!. I liked the location of the power seat controls (on a little strip on the inside of the seats near the center counsle) but also could see how they could be bothersome and become very dirty there. Biggest complaint of all was the way you sat in the car. It felt like you were sitting on the car rather than in it. Definetly felt like you were sitting in a SUV or truck rather than a car. Furthermore I wasn't thrilled with the interior trim. The wood was a good accent but just wasn't thrilled about it. The rest of the car seemed to be plastic. Showed the dirt very well and was very prone to scrathes. (This was a 4K mile car driven by a grandma.) The center counsle seemed to be clogged with buttons but after studying it for a while it was easily navigateable. The GPS was also a great additon (The Mark needs one of those too.)

And the headlights were superb. (The Mark needs those as well :) )

Overall I would say its a decent car but doesn't make me want to give up the Mark for one at all. The Mark is a far superior car compared to the G35.

Wow, I was expecting you to say that the G35 was a better car. Just goes to show the stupid Lincoln people didn't know what they had with our great cars. Now we have to live with the relics that remain.

I like the G35 quite a bit. You can rent them at Hertz. I would much rather have a coupe than a sedan, but I've only driven the sedan. I found it to be a very, very comfortable car.

I agree Eli, its a fun car and comfortable; but still below the Mark. And yes I think I'd like the coupe much more than the sedan.
