not sure why you have the G35 instead of the 350Z but since you don't I chose the EVO. I don't like the looks of the G35 and the backseat......350Z is more sporty and by the looks of the other cars you listed that is what you're looking for.

I heard a year or two from now the SUPRA will make its comeback with a racing V8 engine in it.

I was looking for a 4 seater... BUt I do like the 350z. The coupe G35 looks just about the same..... so thats where that comes from. If I ever want a 2 seater I would deffinetlly put the 350z in the TOP 3 of my list.

well idk why peeps knock the g35 that much ;').. i mean yeah it doesn't handle that great.. but my dad owns one and him and my brother went to the dealer the other day and they said that the infinti will offer a turbo upgrade for the g35.. that brings it to 340 or 50 whp... which seems pretty hot... so hey idk... i'm all about the evo.. so i say evo.. i'm just informing you about the G situation... but yeha.. GO EVO!!!

Another good thing to do is check Insurance on each. My insurance with State Farm just went up almost $40.00 a month. They said " they had the Evo insured under a Ralley sport Lancer" This year the Evo hit there computer screens, which is good and bad. If I would have wreak, it might of been hard to get them to pay $30,000.

Overall I think the Mr. Evo coming out is going to be a kick butt car.

One other thing, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

Evo/ G35 coupe/ RX-8

OK so I like the Evo better then the STi. But I still like the G35 coupe and the RX-8. The G35 is a bit pricey but not too high, and the RX-8 seems under powered. Does anyone know about a Mazda Speed version of the RX-8 coming??? Also how long have other Mazda Speed models taken to come out???
