I must say I did a double-take when I saw this thread:

Since these cars are most definitely NOT in the same class, I would personally say, "Hey, why not both?"

The S2000, as mentioned already, is most certainly a performance-oriented car, it is horrendously fun to drive, what with a 9k redline and VTEC.

The G35 is a less performance-oriented, more practical vehicle that can belt out some good performance when needed.

Do you have more than one other person in your family? Do you have to carry a lot of stuff with you to work or elsewhere? Or, Do you want to have an INCREDIBLE driving experience and the smoothest shifter to be found ANYWHERE?

Altogether, depends: If you need a car that will be practical and fun-to-drive, go G35, else, if you are looking for a fun-as-heck car that handles like a pro and can sack some practicality, go with the S2k.
