Default New Car!

So I test drove the S2K and a G35 last Saturday and ended up buying a new car. I have to say I was not impressed with the S2K. It did not seem to have as much get up and go as I thought it would. Maybe it was the torque difference I don't know but the G35 had a much faster pick up. You could feel it accelerating just by barely pushing the petal. The S2K if I had it floored was a slow but decent acceleration. It really felt a lot like my SI. SO..I bought the G35. I was planning on buying a car, just test driving but they gave me a decent amount for my Honda and a good price. I paid about $21,000 total. It has nav and the Brembo brake kit too. Just thought I would let you all know since I used to be the Honda in the middle of all of the Scions usually. What is going on? This place seems so dead!

Is it 2 door or 4 door? I really like the 2 doors -- they look a lot like my 350z -- but with a backseat. My best friend has a 4 door and loves it.

Congratulations! Love new cars!

Definitely a 2 door. I am hoping to come to one of the nw meets, it's less than a mile from my apt. I am definitely planning on going to the mnscc spring meet and cruise, you going to both?

No you don't find too many white ones. I got the pewter/gunmetal sorta color...obviously not exactly sure what the color is. And I am still loving it...even after making the first payment on it this month.
