I test drove a G35 coupe with auto trany before I settled with an M3. It is an awesome sport car. The engine has a lot of torque at low rpm (2k-3k range). I will say it rivals to the supercharged 3.2 I6 in my E36 M3 in terms of low end torque. The suspension is firm (not as firm as a pure sport car), but not loosing the comfort for a everyday ride. I guess it is a perfect balance for a luxury/sport car. It as a great look too, my only complain is that the rear seats are too tight and the trunk is only a decoration.:naughty: A 6 speed manual tranny is a MUST for this vehicle
