anyone know the g37s coupe specs for the gcc? wanted to know if it came with a limited slip differential (LSD) like the US models. is the transmission 5 or 7 speed? and is the price really 205k?
could someone (docaam) check the price in oman? or pass on the number for the buraimi dealer

My only complaint with the Evo is that people point at it and go: "Lancer GT!"

hmm so have to choose between 'all show n no go' or 'all go n no show' more it looks like a lancer, less chances of getting pulled over by the cops why is the g37s so ridiculously expensive? the car costs 160k max in the US with a 6 speed manual and LSD and bunch of other goodies. here none of those but 210k and still plenty of people to buy them lol.

The G37 is not 'all show no go', it is 'all show but less go than the Evo' Just buy it, I've looked at the import market a lot myself and finally decided its better to just buy from here. Reason being that they will have standard resale, you won't lose money. People know American spec is cheaper so it sells cheaper too.

i just cant bring myself to buy a car that is less equipped and much much more expensive here than in the US, if they put in the LSD and the 6MT paying say around 180k instead of the 160k its actually worth wouldnt be that bad. BUT for 200-210k no way not for an infiniti, maybe for a 335i

dude DONT BUY THE GCC ONE.....BUY IT IMPORTED like me and this is why...
first there are soooooo many opetion the GCC doesnt have and the first thing you should know is the 2008 US model is like the same 2009 GCC model, in fact it's even better.....so if you buy a G37s 2008 model you will be BETTTTTER OFF than the 2009 GCC model
second:-
the US model have:-
1-compact flash input
2-IPOD input plug
3-front sensor for cruise control.....like if you set the speed on let say 120 an all of a sudden some car jumps in front of you the computer will slow the car down automaticlly and after it moves away the car will speed up to the 120.....and you can set the distance between you and the car in front of you....COOL HA
4-in the GCC 2008 model the interior color is only back seats with wooden dash...but the US 2008 have beige color with Alum dash.....the GCC added this on the 2009 model
5-AWD system and i dont think the GCC have it....maybe the 2009 now am not sure
6-there is a 9.3 GB Hard Disk inside the stereo....you can put lots of music in there
these options the GCC DOSENT HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!
there are other stuff 2 but i dont recall them now but the best thing is
I BOUGHT MY CAR FOR ONLY 135k AND IT COVERD ONLY 9000!!!
that's like 50K less than the stupid GCC one and with better options.....and dont believe the people who say imported car AC or engine will not function good here cuz of the weather.....MY CAR WORKS PERFECTLY the only thing sucks is the navigation maps.... it's US and canada maps and i didnt figure out how to put the GCC maps but it doesnt bother me that much cuz Dubai change everyday so no point of having old maps.....plus if you know dubai your mind will be better than nav maps ^_^

and service is soooo cheap....MAJOR service cost me only 900 derhams!!!!!
i bet if you go to BENZ of BMW will cost you more than 3000!!!!

yes but to import us model you need 130-140k cash to spare and the patience
anyone know the infiniti buraimi dealer number? it might be cheaper there, wanted to call them and try.

Brembo....yeah your right you need to pay CASH at once
but still better than paying extra 50K or more for NO OPTION CAR, right?
and no need to wait for the car, the way i found my car, some guy imports cars from the US and it happens that i am first guy who saw the add....so i didnt pay for shippment or the customs or even the registration...
i paid 135K CASH and the car is mine.....
and even if you wanted to order one from the US....there are some offices can do that and it will take no more than 25 days, 30 MAX....
and the customs cost maybe 2000 to 7000.....so either way your still saving more than 40K!!!!

No air intake system adds 20 hp, that figure is ridiculously high for air intakes. Don't follow manufacturer claims, do a dyno test and then get back to me. As for the options, who cares. The money spent/lost factor will be the same in both cases so why not just buy from the dealer. Rostamani has some Ramadan promotions (30k discount etc.) going on too, why don't you personally go and check them out Brembo?

already went to check them out, its 194k with insurance. 2009 7speed auto g37s coupe. funny thing is the dubai dealer does not allow test drives for g37 or for the 350z, they wont even let me see the different colors they have in stock as he claims none of them are kept at the showroom.
how do people buy a car without a test drive? if im buying a veyron or an enzo ok maybe its fine
