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 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: i also bought a "Skyline"
Technically, it is called the Skyline in Japan.

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

Re: i also bought a "Skyline"
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! |

Re: i also bought a "Skyline"
Is the xS 6mt? I recall the X is AT, and the S is generally MT

Re: i also bought a "Skyline"
7-speed auto, with Sport package.
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: ![]()

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?
