Are G35s/G37s More Guido than 335is
Brief Poll :
In re: to my car getting decision, Frieds asked me what I was going to get and I said probably a 335i... he suggested a G35/G37 coupe which I promptly replied 'guidos drive those' an he said that the 335i is more of a guido car than the infinitis
THOUGHTS OPINIONS?!
No....considering the 335 is more expensive than a G37. Plus I don't think I've ever seen a guido in a 335, it's much more understated.
Well, I'm going to be the one to say it first but on a scale of Guido Cars you have The IROC-Z as the king of the Guido Cars. Followed by the Mustang and then then BMW 328/335. I've seen very few Guidos driving the Infiniti. It's more of a ricer car than a guido ride.
the 335i does have somewhat of guido reputation. The G35 / G37 tends to have more of an "asian gangsta" type reputation. But, that might just be a NY/NJ thing.

Guys, he said 335is.....I don't think Guidos can drop 60K on a car....
the 328 MAYBE but im not talking 328, im talking th 335
Short... are you buying your car new? No... So a used 335 is more than within the realm of possibility.
g35 is a better bargain. 335 is a better car. but... i'd get an audi s4 if i were you
I want an S4 =(
no altering the topic of discussion :P it just purely whether the Gs or the 335is are more guido
I don't really know about which one is more Guido...all I know is that people driving G35/37s are basically the same faggy douchebags that drive Maximas with full tints and chrome rims (probably guidos now that I think about it). In both cases, I want them to die.
g37 is a common car among mid 20s. 335 would be a better choice imo. but an s4/a5/s5 better than all
dont buy the infinities...
they are both major guido cars...albeit a guido 335i is usually 5-6 years old with 80K+ miles on it that they bought used for under 20K...hood rich.
qft
It's an entry level luxury coupe. Do we really have to go into further detail?
This. You're spending as little as possible to get the logo / brand. Nouveau baller.
few-to-no guidos in the South so what is there to worry about?
Sicilian from Brooklyn here. While both cars are predominantly driven by guidos, the convertible is more guidette. You could get a definitive answer to your question by visiting any number of guido establishments in Brooklyn and looking at the diversity (or lack thereof) of vehicles the valets are parking.
Since when are there valets in Brooklyn? Or are you counting the homeless guy you pay five bucks to keep an eye on your Honda Civic?
Eddie this is what areas like Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights have (d)evolved into over the years. It is unfortunately nothing like the place I grew up in.
Who the fuck wants a 45k nissian?
If you don't want to be labeled a guido, get the new 5 series sedan or Audi A6.
If you're cool enough like me you should get the A8 or 7 Series.
As someone else, said: guidos are going to drive any entry level luxury car. If it has a reasonable lease price, wannabe Pauly D's are going to go for it. Get something you like; that has good performance. To echo the S4 love, it was my old ride, and one of my best.
Audis are great, but have more problems on average than BMWs or Mercedes. Go with an E350/500 with the sport package. Unbelievable ride, plenty of power, and of course a tasteful, luxurious interior. Everyone has a 3 series or S4, show some class and get the Benz. I assure you, you will be very happy you did.
Being from (Northern) NJ I can tell you they are both driven by guidos; some of them are HS friends. The "can they afford 60K cars" argument doesn't work because while they cannot, their parents can.
Being from the Long Island/NYC area here are my stereotypes:
G35/G37: Italians & Asians BMW 3-series: Chick car bought by well off parents Acura TSX/TL: Hardcore Italian car Maxima: Italian Saab, Volvo, Audi: Preppy guy/girl
When I could pay for it (and the gas) I'm getting a Chevy Tahoe lol
I drive a G35 and I'm not a guido. I'm also from the south though.
In my experience, Infiniti offers the best value of all the luxury brands. I've had a few days with a G37 sedan whenever my car gets serviced. For the price (substantially less than the entry-level cars of competitors) you get a much more powerful car with sportier handling. The fit and finish inside has met or exceeded the German brands. And reliability. Who cares how super-awesome your car is if it's in the shop every two months for something stupid (door window motors breaking). I've had my car from 25k miles and it's about to break 100k with no major issues.
Just know what you're getting into. I LOVE my car, but if given the chance would not have gotten the sports wheel package. While staggered 19 inch wheels (20 inches in the back, 19 in the front) are awesome for aesthetics and performance, the cost to replace them in the different sizes is ridiculous.
My next car will be a G37 or the 335is with the Vishnu performance tune. Instant M3 killer. I'm a mix of English, Irish, Scottish, and other western european countries... not a guido.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe, non-guido, cheap, fast as hell. only problem i saw when i took it for a spin was a not so flashy interior.
Both are guido. I'd say 335i is more guido consider ALL of JS cast drove one last season or two seasons ago. Also do not get an is just get an M3 if you're looking at an is. You don't look guido so why does it matter if your car does?
i like the genesis sedan actually :| hate all you want lol. the kia sportage is pretty fly too but not gonna get that lol (and im not being sarcastic on saying i like them)
The genesis rtec 3 or whatever is fly as fuck.
I don't think I could ever downgrade from my A8
A7 or s7..but then again that would be an upgrade. What year is the a8
Enough with the Kia's guys
Guessing you people are helping them with their financing or something

or bust
Hey Eddie - No love for a throwback like the IROC-Z?
Of course, bro. In my day if you drove an IROC you got more ass than a toilet seat.
The old e46 M3 is an amazing car,in my opinion. It's styling holds up incredibly well. I think it might even be better looking than the new model. You could find an '04 - '06 model with low mileage for a good price, I bet. Obviously, it'd be useless in the snow.
I'm also assuming you know how to drive a stick.
Eh, you gotta go with the regular stick shift, in my opinion. But, yeah, other options do exist.
2006-2010 BMW M6. 500HP Lambo V10. You can get an excellent used one for around 50k.

Or Cadillac CTS-V coupe, but thats much pricier.
G35 / G37... def guido
335 in north jersey / westchester it's kinda a guido car....non guidos have it too? central jersey it's a girls high school graduation gift from her parents (least where I grew up)
That being said, I love 335's, I think you're safe as long as you don't get it in white w/ tints and black rims... if you do, you have more problems than anyone here can help you with
I was about to make the same comment on the E46 M3. I think they are superior in every way, including styling. No SMG. Even better, the E39 M5, although it is hard to find a good one. One of the all-time greats.
Fuck the new BMW Idrive crap. It takes an hour to set the fucking thing up. What you need is a 94 911 turbo limited. One of the greatest cars ever made.
Or a steam car, those bitches once they get hot will blow most modern cars away off the line.
Steam power would literally put the population of the middle east back into tents if it weren't for the miserable weight:horsepower ratio. Some of the steam engines built by Nat Herreshoff in the late 1800's would put today's engineers to shame.
Plus some of the old Stanley Steamers just look bad ass:
This was a good piece...

IMO cant go wrong with a 2005-06 M3, its a great car, fantastic handling. It is the most practical sports car you can buy. Dont buy the Range Rover unless you want to look like a pampered housewife or a rapper.
E46 body is outdated and RR are ballin as shit

IROC -Italian Retard Out Cruising
I guess that works for us Micks, too, because there were a ton of Irish kids in my neighborhood cruising 'em back in the day.
The only Japanese sports cars worth buying...
For all else just buy a normal 1.8 litre car to get you from A to B and drop the sporting pretensions... you will save money and not look like an idiot. (i might add the Mistubishi Evo to the list above, but looks far too ugly/little boy racer).
The entire infiniti range looks like it's trying too hard. It's pretty clear that you want the BMW, just go for it. My ex-girlfriend had one (335i coupe). Its a great car, but looks like any other 3 series coupe. There are more interesting options out there, but it doesn't seem like you would be open to them...
This car will blow almost any other supercar out of the water. It's no Bugatti Veyron, but the little bastards can give 599 GTOs a good run for their money, at a fraction of the price.
I do enjoy BMWs (prefer Mercs, and think Audi's are the redheaded stepchild of the german manufacturers) but with any 3 series, you're paying so much more for a car that can't outperform an Infiniti in any performance, reliability, or fit/finish test and paying $10,000 more.
M's are nice, but give me a GTR any day.
If you want a real German car, get a CLK63 AMG Black Series.
Edit: As I said, if you get a 335i and go with Vishnu tuning, that's acceptable too. http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2012/02/vishnu-tweaks-the-bmw-…
rel i think youre confusing the crx with the civic del sol
and i wouldnt call either a crx or a del sol a sports car lol nor the s2000 really. expensive glorified miata :P rx8 is crap, no torque to it, rx7 is good but old.. rather get a DSM GSX or tsi awd talon
shortleworld, the S2000 handle's beautifully, as does the RX8 (if you want torque get a Ford F-150 pick up), either are a better option than the infinities you are contemplating. That's what matters in a sports car... handling, looks & is it fun to drive...
DSM GSX is a mustang, right? i don't know what a a talon is. Just get a BMW, its the expected corporate choice...
They are both nice cars, I just got an Infiniti G37 IPL and it drives/handles pretty much the same as any other G37. My buddy has a M3, which is pretty sweet. Being perceived as a guido depends on how you drive the car and what sort of modifications you do to it. If you have your windows down and BPM blasting then you're a tool.
I had the e46 M3 before family life. Best car I've ever owned. I will echo one of the sentiments above and suggest you get one of those used with low mileage.
As far as the guido factor, i think the 335 is more guido than the infinitis.
Mercs? Mercs are for corporate bureaucrats, soccer moms and girlfriends... (depending on the model). The last cool Merc that a normal person could afford was the old shaped SL from the late 90s.
Did you not enjoy the RX8's handling in the corners? I only drove one once and thought it was ok. It might be soulless, but i can't see how an CLK Merc (regardless of what engine you drop into it) is any more soulful. Anyway, I'm not sure that they make the RX8 anymore. There are very few cool Japanese cars nowadays, I think the OP should stick with the BMW or something more interesting from the other thread.
I think Infinities are ugly even by Japanese and American standards. Just my opinion, I'm sure others share it.
As far as the merc, this describes it for me. Just a car that you enjoy waking up to drive. Every time you turn the key you know you're going to have a good time, even if you're just going to get groceries.
Opinions on aesthetics will obviously vary from person to person, but I like the bold styling of Infiniti. Much more so than BMW's approach of making every car look almost exactly the same (Although I do love the old M coupe, and the new Z4M). The visual differences between a 328 and an M3 are extremely subtle. Every time I look at my G I still get the same giddy feeling the first time I saw one in high school.
I think it depends on what part of the country you're in.
That's why in the other thread I suggested to just get a 335 (it's a good car that could be temporary which you could sell fast once you graduate OR a longer-term "beater/commuter" car while you spend $$$ on your weekend car).
Others have chimed in on this and I haven't been to the south for an extended period of time, but I don't know if there's a lot of guidos in the south haha
In other words, if you were in LA I would say you could get a used (or even new) Porsche 911 and you could enjoy your car without drawing unwanted attention. But that may not be the same as in Durham or in many parts of the country. I mean, I'm sure in some parts of the country any BMW is considered a "rich person's car" or an upper middle class car whereas in places like LA, NY or SF it's perceived in the same way many other places perceive the Honda Accord - as a regular commuter.
Regardless of what car you drive, it comes down to how you drive it and what mods you do to it, and whether you blast your music loud enough for everyone to hear (equivalent of the guy in the 1980s carrying around a large stereo on his shoulder blasting his music). For example, cars could be completely subtle and/or unnoticed, or you add chrome rims (or chrome everything), heavily tinted windows, and blasting cheesy techno as you drive by - whether it's a 335 or G35/G37 would be besides the point.
This thread is retarded....
Dont get the s4. Its super sri lankan
Thoughts on the 135? I test drove the 6-speed and it's noticeably quicker than the 335. Damn small though.
all the g35s/g37s where i live are driven by thug wanna be tamils or other indian races trying to be gangster because of the terrible resale values on these cars.
yeah the 335 attracts some douches as well, but the n54 motor has a real cult following and tuning options are vast and varied.
+100 on the comments about the e46 m3. it's a car that will never go out of style and i always have the utmost respect when i see a properly maintained one on the road.
if you do however just want the status symbol you can always get an s4/s5, but i could honestly blindfold myself and throw my flaccid penis in any random direction and hit 5 of them. boring.
I currently drive a G37 coupe, used to have a G35 sedan prior to that and a benz before. I'd say you get a great bang-for-your buck with infinti. The only reason I did not go wit the 335i back in the day was because it cost an extra $150/month to lease and to me that was not worth the name brand. Performance is almost identical. Right now I am actually glad I do not drive a 335i because every student in my school has one and there are always at least 10 of them at a given time parked in the garage.
I would seriously go with a BMW M3 or an Audi A5/S5. Also worth looking at the MB E350 coupe. What I like about the Audi is that it is a solid car and not a lot of people drive them compared to BMWs. I would honestly test drive all of them and make up your mind. The g37 coupe is a great car though and I have no regrets, just wish I had the convertible instead.
Don't be a pussy get an Audi.
