Nothing is more ECONO than 1 series. Either you haven't tested it or maybe you own one.

Don't be pissed you drive something smaller than Civic while G35 is almost the size of 5 series.

Big mistake kid. Big!

- fit and finish is way inferior to the one in my VW R32.
-the engine sounds awful under acceleration and it feels extremely anemic under 5000 RPM.
-the manual transmission is extremely notchy and the clutch will build huge muscles to your left leg in no time, one of the worst I've tried
-the interior is cramped and all three brand new G37s I drove had rattles.
-the car corners like a school bus and the overall feeling is that you drive an SUV
-the brakes are extremely noisy and the feel is terrible.
-the engine has excessive vibrations at idle and under mild or hard acceleration and the sound coming from the exhaust is too similar to a vacuum cleaner.

This is by no means a premium car and if would not be for the features it comes standard with(which belong to the premium segment), nothing else would indicate that you drive anything else than something belonging to the economy segment.

You need to get out more and get to drive a real car(German) for a change. Compared with your Chevy Metro I'm sure the G37 felt like a slightly better car but for the car guys the G37 is nothing but a pile of s**t.

Agent 001 or any of the other Agents this is "Staar"s contribution to this thread about Infiniti G37. Quote:

" Star = NEO NAZI Supremacist"

"Star = NEO NAZI Supremacist Skinhead"

"Star = NEO NAZI FAILED ABORTION"

"Star = FAILED ABORTION

His mom slapped the doctor and said YUCK when he came out..."


"BMW = ECONOMY CAR GARBAGE FOR TRASHY PEOPLE"

Notice that there is not even ONE SINGLE WORD about the Infiniti G37(the subject of this thread) in any of his posts. Why is he still here? I mean this guy is not in a dialog with anybody here, all he does is repeating the same thing over and over again. Nobody minds his preference when it comes to cars but his behaviour and language went WAY beyond unacceptable.

LE43, if you are so dissatisfied I think you should join your friend Staar and leave us. There is absolutely no need for another douche that targets other posters in 99% of his posts, instead of doing what the rest of us is doing here, talk about ...CARS. If you are here to share your opinions about cars... great, if not, find another place to unleash your frustrations or you might just end up like Staar. Be careful with your continuous accusations against other members of this site. I think you did enough already.

allmanfll,

there are two opposite groups on this site. One is formed by enthusiasts and the other by Japanese car fanatics that have the typical attitude you would find on some of the Honda Civic forums(V-tech for the win) on the Internet. As you see "STJ88" belongs in the second group together with "Staar". There is really not much difference between the two other than the language they choose to use.

Good luck to you in trying to remain objective. The rate of failure for whoever tried was 100%. With people like "Staar" and "STJ88" lurking around I'm afraid that objectivity would remain an untouchable dream on these forums.

as an experiment you should write down the names of the people(users)here who constantly use insults instead of arguments. Then see what their preference in cars is.
This makes for a really interesting experiment and it will allow you to have a clear image of how the things go around here. Have fun...

I've been reading the various threads and have formed somewhat of an opinion on my own. I went back and checked the dates that some members like yourself and Staar's earliest publications were and it seems that he joined later than you and just added an extra a to the middle of his name. Seems to be more than one incident of that with many members on here. This Staar character really has a foul mouth or should I say keyboard. I understand why you get so upset with his postings. I think I will just read the articles from this point forward it is apparent that this site has no moderators or control of the site. My sons will just have realize that this world is full of good and bad. It would be nice if the moderator if there is one would kick the potty mouths off.

allmanfll,

As far as I know, you CANNOT stop the internet. What's the point of kicking people off when then can within minutes create another profile and sign back in? If you think this kind of talk is offensive, I'd suggest you stop browsing the net right now, cause there are far worse out there.

Accordingly, it is up to you as a parent to monitor you kids for the content they are exposed to; but this does not mean nagging the site owners with your ban this or ban that attitude. The internet doesn't turn off, but you can turn your computer off, it's that simple. Everyone's biased here (maybe some more than others) so this kind of rivalry is to be expected.

You may think that people like Staar, Homer007, Teknik, Silver might be the instigators of this nonsense but look again... the very first post is none other than "Star" who says:

" Infiniti G37 is the worst car I've ever driven. "

Now if that's not the ultimate trolling machine at work, I don't know what is. As for me I don't take anything he says seriously, since he is just a teenager who's just learning how to drive, probably ditched his "BMX" bike recently when he picked up a used VW Golf.

Guys like myself and others who criticize German brands especially BMW wouldn't exist it there weren't so many BMW zealots out there spouting the virtues of this make in one form or another, claiming anything without a roundel at the front is automatically inferior. I've driven many BMWs, from family, aunts, uncles, friends etc. and don't see what all the fuss is about.

I tend to like Japanese brands because they offer just as much performance as German brands and yet offer ease of ownership, and is usually more bang for your buck, and is more reliable. This doesn't mean I don't have respect for German brands, especially MB, after all, they pretty much invented the automobile with the Motorwagen in 1885.

I'm sure others, myself included, don't want to go down this juvenile shouting match path, it can't be avoided as long a s German fanboys are rampant on the net. As the famous line goes:

I never metioned the names homer007, Teknik or Silver. Who are you? I was just making an observation. I'm not trying to stop the internet, just like I know I cannot be a netnanny to be boys. I just wish the owners of this site monitored it a little more closely because of some of the foul language and racist remarks. I belong to lots of automotive web sites and most of them have moderators that would delete a person like Staar in a New York second. Calling another human a failed abortion or a neo-nazi is simply unacceptable to me. Just my opinion though.

I have observed some of your comments too, and I must say you seem to dish out more than your fair share of derrogatory comments.

I'm not judging you because I don't know you, but my simple observations must have struck a cord with you. Some might even say it seems that you are guilty as charged.

He understands very well. It is you that has problems in getting it. Let me make it clear for you. If you are trying to claim that a phrase like "Infiniti G37 is the worst car I've ever driven" is as offensive as NEO NAZI Supremacist", NEO NAZI Supremacist Skinhead", or NEO NAZI FAILED ABORTION" you are in need of psychiatric help.
People that participate in car forums all over the Internet are bashing other people's choices in cars, there is nothing new there, but like "allmanfll" mentioned earlier, nowhere else somebody that uses the language "Staar" uses here is allowed to post again on the same website.

for one that is a stupid comment....the entire BMW lineup is not based on the 3 series....2nd...the 3 series is a premium car it is not the same basing an ENTIRE lineup of Supposedly premium cars on a economy sports car that starts at 26 grand. Or sharing engines across the lineup with the Nissan Altima except the 3.7 liter which is still based on the 3.5 and not an entirely new engine. Not to mention the fx, ex, g35, maxima, and murano all have the same dash......

Do you BMW is going disclose any platform sharing info? it's a family run business for crying out loud, they don't divulge that kind of information. In this Global economy, all manufacturers have to do this to cut costs and leverage profits, BMW is no exception. You have to also realize that auto manufactures now practically use the same parts suppliers, no nothing is "in-house" even for BMW, MB. BMW also announced that it will undergo platform sharing with Fiat Group (initially for Mini models and Alfa Romeo models, but soon I'm sure will trickle over to BMW 1/3 series as well), will you get upset at this as well? What about the fact that GM has supplied automatic transmissions to BMW since 1991 made in Strasbourg.

Don't know about you but nearly all BMW interiors look the same to me as well, at least for Infiniti this is not a problem since their interiors are not bland and sleep inducing.

Cannot agree w/ you 'QuantumMatrix'. I owned both 3 series and G for about 4 years now.

3 has more rattle and I already replaced stereo and window regulators, thankfully on dealers cost. That said, I replaced CD player on G a while ago too.

I'll say it's even.

Yes the window thing is an ongoing issue with BMW. I am not rough on my interior so my G holds up very well. The quality of the leather in the 3 is better but the G looks better. Because I care of my cars, my interior typically stay looking brand new even years later. I recall my old 93 J30's interior was in excellent condition minus a little wear under the window area. BMW's ornge display also has a tendency to fade in areas and lose pixels or whatever. The Bose radio in infiniti's suck! They are no where near reliable. I did have to have that replaced in my 07 G twice. And the speakers were not that great. The standard Nissan system found in the maxima is much better than the Bose system in the infiniti.
