uh...i'm guessing they wouldn't be pleased. besides, it's not dependent on what's intended but how it's received. it's not a modern day abbreviation, it's an antiquated term that is offensive to say the least. i'm sure you have intended no disrespect, but its just plain wrong to use that term.

Well I ran this post by 2 of my asian friends at work today. Josh was born in Japan, so I figured he would be the best one to run this by. He was not offended in any way, and his Dad was not either. Sorry if it offended any of you here. If you are that concerned than do a search and see how many times it is used and correct all of the other non politically correct folks here. Josh's Dad said that it was no big deal at all, and said it sounded like a bunch of typical over reacting attitudes.

Just drop it and move onto the real issue at hand, which is the G35 is going to win car of the year by many magazines in 2006!

whoa, zen, a bit harsh comment for such sensitive topic. careful there man.

before anybody loosen up a bit, how we all learn to respect each other a little more and avoid improper terms.

but yes, I agree with ward. Lets not get too sensitive, keep it civil, move on.

[mike20022]

Exactly, let's move on....

I called my Infiniti dealership today, and still no concrete dates for the 07 G35 release. But they also heard it will likely be at the NY show.

[shragon]

if the new g35c looks like the concept, it'll be a pretty hot car. the current g35 is a nice looking car, but i hate the interior. the interior in the concept doesn't look all that much better.

i've also test drove a couple g35's, and handling wise, bmw is still better. g35's feel heavy imho.

[lux.sh]

Keep the exterior like that(maybe modify the taillight a little more. I like the current one better), bump up the power even more and stay back on top, improve interior... they will earn alot of money including mine.

That car is dead sexy. I was actually planning to buy the G35 but I test drove it and the interior is kinda icky, the seats didn't feel all that comfortable plus it didn't drive all that great IMHO. I'll be very interested in seeing what the new one is like on the interior and how it drives. Three years from now, who knows...

For me, E92, even not seeing one uncovered 100%.

I am looking so forward to all of the magazine articles of these 2 cars head to head. As we all know, the E90 has won the hearts of all the magazines writers, so lets see if BMW is really prepared for next test.

You all have to admit this is exciting!

If it debuts in Geneva, it should also be @ the NY Auto show in April.
But knowing BMWNA, they won't want anyone to see it since they'll want to unload the remaining E46 Coupes.

As far as the G35 Coupe goes, I think the only debut @ NY will be the sedan.

i considered the g35 as well. my opinion on it is the same as yours. crossed it off my list after the test drives.

I was thinking the same thing.... we havent really seen the E92 yet...
