Haha no that was the M1 M6 M60!! I keep saying I will never buy a black car again so what do I do!

Hi folks sorry for delay my little one is not well so been busy , I will try to get some pictures tomorrow and do a quick write up . Covered in poop already - the joys of black cars eh!

Cheers mate! ;-)

Ok ok Yes! I have it! Fantastic car, I will post up photos and new thread soon with my initial thoughts etc. But quick summary- its even better than I ever expected! If Nissan can build them like this there is no excuse for some of the boring plastic boxes they also make (ok its just cost I know) .

I like the look of it same as the ragtop , which are starting to appear more on the roads now. But from the very first time I saw these I just thought the front especially the grill looks very 350z ! Buy a zed - cheaper and more reliable no doubt haha

Haha same here !! Just to pee me off I see 2 370's daily now not fair! Oh well my posh Datsun will make me smile. (I hope?)

Thanks I am counting on it Mate ! ;-) only 2 sleeps till financial stupidity! Haha

Thanks you lot! Thats the problem once you drive a V6 its very hard to go back let alone drive a diesel tractor. No convertible this time Colin that model has no boot space at all when roof is down so no good for holidays with 4 year old? But love that colour btw, the one I am getting is more black than that. Anyway lets not tempt fate, not got it yet wait until Friday next week and a long drive home.

Thanks. They call it black but its not, has purple/pink fleck in it a d a typical Nissan style gloss tint ! Yay

Haha thanks for the comments. Money+sense+sensible running costs+practical car < or not = to Stan!! Inspite of the potential zed like running costs I have a deposit down on a very nice G37! It sounds like a zed(complete with same tyre noise) appears to handle like a zed and puts the same zed smile back on my face! So it had to be the zed with rear mini adult seats and a suitable boot! I hope to pick it up next Friday, all being well. The best bit, its the nearest colour I will get to Interlagos Fire !! Well sort of toned down anyway... Will post some pics once I get it. So back to the world of expensive, tyres, tax , servicing, insurance and of course petrol! Watch this space....

I dont mind fly by wire accelerator control but fly by wire steering - erm no thank you! As a computer bod , one thing I do know - never EVER trust a computer!!

There are you just have to start paying serious cash for them as you get into the Aston badges league, which being a poor petrolhead I dont have. I did some research about Infiniti in the UK - seems like they have a long term plan after all they will even be building a new model in the NorthEast in the Nissan Plant,and using diesel Merc engines! So fingers crossed they will be around long enough ! They cant be as bad as Chrysler with the new 300c (which I was considering I have to add - I did own the first model for a while) they must have sold 3 in the UK! http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Q30-concept-2013-first-picture-of-Vettel-tuned-A-class-rival/

VE11***. Very nice think with BBS alloys? Why is it i dont see any 370's then I decide I cant get one and the buggers start crawling out of the woodword?

Suppose so? Anyway lets see all down to money and part exing the Ditchfinder.

Lexx?? Honestly? He is likely to sell?

I have to say that is a concern ? They only have a few dealers in UK if they pulled out where do I get parts? Yes they are Nissan in a frilly dress but doubt Nissan could help?

And the problem with that is what ? haha I get enough stick as it is at work, plus I am not having a mid life crisis! My fave colour is either black or white for that body shape, red and that mid blue they do just does not suit it in my eyes?

You are right I think a lot of manufacturers still have the Yanks as their target market and well why not there are plenty of them? I suppose that price tag over there maybe is not the same 'Wtf!! ' reaction we have ? I am very lucky my other half is also a sad petrol head so its not an issue with us! The way I have always looked at things, if I have to spend 2-3 hours a day in my car it might as well be a place I want to be rather than a sensible AUDI/BMW/Volvo kind of world! Probably why I like driving my 1973 VW Camper all those miles at least I sit there with a grin on my chops - plodding along at 65, looking at the masses in their euroboxes ! I am just weird I know. We both had 350's but had to sell when little un came along but now she is bigger (well 4!) things are better no more pram to carry but we dont have to be sensible boring parents do we? Realistically I doubt very much anyone will be paying the full asking price on Infinities in this country I would guess there are ways and means and the dealers know it!

Hey Andy - just looking through some pics and found this one outside our house from ages ago? Do you still have it? Looks super clean and I know you did many miles that day?

STOP WAIT!!!!! Wait another year and get one for £6K Well thats the thing isnt it ? Being a new brand its in a strange place?They are trying to be Lexus type prestige brand which I am sure they are elsewhere in the world- we got a bag full of glossy brochures and a 'Lifestyle arty posh hotel/coffee table' magazine with plenty of cool photos on quality paper etc and infiniti cars randomly intertwined! Do marketing people thing we are all Sun readers!! ffs! Anyway you can get the earlier FX (4x4) which I always liked the look of cheaper than the G37 (which I think has been rebadged Q60 now for some reason?) All Infiniti need to do is actually advertise their cars on the telly! its simple dont assume people will hear about you via osmosis? This one will be a long term car I dont intend to get rid after 2 years or so but who knows we might run out of petrol before then anyway ....

haha well funny you should say that I have been doing my sums and I should be able to finance it however I need to sort some bits on my current car before I can part ex it first. Will keep you posted thanks Bronzee If I still a Datsun badge over the Infiniti badge can I still come to club meets?

Colin you rascal! Yes thats the one I drove (no decals on it now fortunately) I wish... Money money money...

Thanks Viks

Haha thanks mate. I like the 'more mature bit'!! Haha! I am a long time petrolhead from age 4 actually! So even after having a family now there are no rules that say I have to buy a Renault Megane or similar! I have a boring long journey to work and back every week and although common sense says diesel and german neither excite me! The G37 is my extended zed with 4 seats and a boot which covers family requirements. Not had a mid life crisis I just love cars always have. We dont consider petrol costs too much if we did then we would buy sensible cars like everyone else! So anyway thanks for the review.

Very nice Jay you always go for the subtle cars! Hope you enjoy it
