Infiniti G37 or Solara? Which is which?

The Toyota Solara was introduced in 1998.  In 2004, the Solara received a face-lift sporting a  much "sportier" look.  4 years later, Infiniti decides to rip it and put an additional 15k on the price tag.  And guess what, some people acutally bought it. LOL

The difference is the Solara offers a more comfortable ride with more user friendly options.  Such as being able to recirculate the Cabin air w/o having the AC on.  The G37 offers more HP and an engine that has more pings than a Chinese Ping Pong Tournament with 4 billion people playing. 

[above]  Notice the similarity?  It's NOT a coincidence that the IPL G has the same aggressive front bumper as the Toyota Solara including the fog lights.  Can't they at lest be original?  See image below and compare.


The Convertibles.  Which one is which?  To the untrained eye, not many can spot the difference.  The first time we saw the G37, we all thought it was a Solara with rims.  Upon closer inspection, we noticed the Mount Fuji badge.  We first spotted the G37 back in 9/27/2007 and our first impression was, "is that a Solara?"


After 5 years of owning an Infiniti, I wouldn't be surprised if the Solara was more reliable than the G37.  And don't get me started with the horrible service you'll get at Infiniti.  Not only are they totally incompetent when it comes to the car they're selling, but RUDE at the same time.

A typical response for any problems you have with your car is, "We never heard of that before".  Then you google it and realize that over 180,000 hits shows up for the exact same problem.

Their "technicians" are probably HS kids who use to steal  Honda / Acura parts and sell them on ebay.
