But for me, when it comes to specifically considering a c-class vs. a g35, I just happen to like the c class better. But I do like the external styling of the g35 coupe. I think it looks very nice.
So, I don't actually want to say to anyone "choose german cars over japanese cars" just because they are german.
somone in the market for a new or used car, should defintely check out the IS 300, C class, and g35 for themselves, decide on what they are looking for in a car, and see which one fits their needs best. before I got the coupe, I considered and test drove a bunch of different cars, most of them non-german. At the end of it all, the car that felt best for me happened to be the C230.
Anyway, back to the topic: IS 300 or c-230

If I was to trade my C320 right now; it would be for a G35 Coupe SE, including the supercharger for 39k. For that amount you'd have a styling car with over 300 rwhp at your whim.

i thought the 05 SC has staggard wheels. thats why it doesnt look like it needs spacers in the rear. the C320 SC i drove at c-Spot looked like it had staggard tires.
