What nagging problems are you talking about? I have my G35c for 8 months and 14k miles now and I don't see any nagging assembly problem @ all. The only $ I need to put in this car is oil changes. What other cars can you get for low 30k that has 280HP/270ft-lb of TQ and RWD? You always have to make sacrifices when you're not paying top $$. I would much rather sacrifice bluetooth and good stereo for power, tq, RWD, and a supportive seat. Everything you touch everyday in the G35 is soft leather. If you're talking about soft plastic, then the Mercedes still have Lexus and Acura beat.
