Nope, leave it 2 seater. As Rev28K said, the Infiniti G35/G37 is basically a 4 seater version.

I went test driving 350Z honestly thinking I would buy one but just found the drive quite uninspiring and very unsportscarlike in my opinion. It just didn't do it for me. It just didn't click for me for some reason, it didn't feel like a true light and agile sportscar which if it was very powerful I could have lived with but it didn't even have that going for it. This is only my opinion and is no big diss on the car, it no doubt floats the boat of many and all power to em. Perhaps I expected too much. Hopefully the new one has that excitement and tactile feel that I found a bit lacking in the current model.

Externally i'd taken the 350 over this thing any day. Doesn't look good at all..

Interior wise it looks like they've definitely taken a step forward. Nissan's finally put inserts into the door trims so you don't look at a slab of plastic!

Sorry mate, the following:

"they lost the plot styling wise in my opinion with the 300ZX.....oversized and
bloated to really fall in with the Z-series history"...

sounds like the same thing as you're saying, I definately wouldn't call it a sports car.

Am i correct in thinking that road tests of the 370 may be online on mon? I read this somewhere could be rubbish though.
I didn't really like some of the detailing at first bit now i love the overall look of the car it has grown on me. Besides I am equally concerned with the performance of the car.
