CU rated the G35 less than the Honda Accord in this area
..stiff clutch, shifter engineering lacks precision (noise, heavy synchromesh action, imprecise gating)
...the G35 coupe with the 6-speed would have been just under $40 grand including CA sales tax, license plates and dorkumentation fee. That is almost exactly $15,000 higher than the total price of the Honda Accord 6-speed coupe. $15k buys a lot of beer
