My new daily driver

I've been getting the itch to replace my Eclipse and get a new daily driver. I've been test driving a lot of cars and decided that the Infiniti G37x coupe would be the right car for me.

There is a very limited market for the AWD coupes. Very few used ones around. I found a new, leftover 2010 model in Chicago with the right color and options I wanted. I got a pretty good deal on it, so it was worth flying to Chicago to pick it up. So I flew out on Saturday morning and drove it home. It's a fantastic car.

This also means I'm selling my 97 Eclipse GSX. (check the for sale section)

I'll attach a few pictures of the new G.

later,
Curt

Nice, but was really hoping to see pictures of a X or RA

The EVO Xs and Ralliarts are great cars. But both of those cars are a little too raw for me. I wanted a little cushier ride with little more luxury. EVOs are made to go fast and handle great. Unfortunately they don't do a lot of other things.

I've been waiting for 10 years for Mitsu to make a car for me. They failed.

Re: My new daily driver

very nice ride. I just drove a friend's G35 yesterday and it felt real nice. It had the stiffer springs but it still rode quite comfy. Those are definitely luxurious.

Hahaha. I was looking at the g37x coupes awhile back, they are fun cars for sure. Quite an improvement over a 2g, enjoy!

LOL. I think I'll keep my warranty for awhile.

Your artwork above is awesome too.

I went to Baker's to spy on their new construction. I think it will work well for the UMG. More parking!

Awesome choice! We had the 4dr G37x for a rental, and I was pretty impressed with the overall car, and the power. Excellent DD choice!!
