i also bought a "Skyline"
well, an Infiniti G37xS coupe.
kind of a modern mashup of two of my favorite cars - an SVX and a 928. AWD like the SVX, the instrument pod moves with the steering wheel like the 928. not as good-looking as either, but not bad. 330hp, factory big brakes, sport suspension, sport seats, and lots of luxury and gadgets. i need a little luxury now that i'm getting older :lol: added a powered subwoofer and blacked out the chrome around the grille. http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...pswaodjhhy.jpg http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...pswwapko5i.jpg http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...psu8buypyw.jpg http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...psxdf89vro.jpg |

Congratulations. IMHO, this is as close to a modern day SVX as you are going to get!

Been eyeballing those, too, lately. I hadn't noticed the similarity to the 928 till you pointed it out. Very true. Only, probably cheaper to drive, more reliable, more comfortable, faster...
Now keep it off the salty roads! |

Is the xS 6mt? I recall the X is AT, and the S is generally MT

i think you're right - X is auto, the S is MT. |

So what are your daily driver impressions of the G37 now that you've owned it for over 1 month? What kind of gas mileage are you averaging? |

~18-20mpg, depending how i'm driving. mostly all city. 20 gallon tank is nice - seemed like the Evo always needed filling up. main gripe is the Bose "Studio On Wheels" system, but i tweaked the iPod EQ and added a powered sub in a sealed enclosure, so that helps. i'll replace the Bose amp and speakers if i ever get bored someday, but its ok for now. added a stainless axle-back exhaust - nice deeper sound without being too obnoxious. probably gained 60lbs in weight savings - stock rear muffler is huge and heavy! all detailed up: http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...psq2hixvrs.jpg |

I plan to hold onto mine for at least another 4-5 years... Quote:
There's no replacement for the deep growl of a nice axle-back exhaust system! It really improves the "sensory experience" of the daily commute. Which one did you get? |

Some funny stuff on the Evo. Not safe for work. |
