The G35x ($34,100) adds the content of the Journey Package, heated front seats, and all-wheel drive. Options are similar to those for the base model.
The Premium Package ($2,500) adds a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, heated front seats with additional power adjustments, an upgraded memory system for seat and mirror preferences, power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a 10-speaker Bose Studio on Wheels system with Burr Brown Digital Audio Converters and iPod interface, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and other convenience items.
The Sport Package ($1,650) includes bigger brakes, 18-inch aluminum wheels with W-rated summer performance tires, a limited-slip rear differential, magnesium paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, front sport seats, and unique front fascia and side sills. The Sport Package MT ($1,700) includes the same equipment, but replaces the five-speed automatic transmission with a six-speed manual, and replaces the automatic's pedal-operated handbrake with a pull-up lever. Buying the Sport Package MT is the only way to get a manual transmission in a G35. New for 2008 is a Sport Package AT ($1,100) for the G35x, which comprises similar equipment but skips the larger brakes and mounts 18-inch all-season tires.
The GPS Navigation Package ($2,150) includes such advanced features as a 9.3GB Music Box hard disc drive (instead of the in-dash, 6CD changer) MP3-capable compact flash media slot; lane guidance, which preps a driver for a left or right exit ramp from a freeway; and voice recognition for climate control, audio and navigation functions. This package is available only with the Journey and Premium Packages. The Technology Package ($1,100) adds Intelligent Cruise Control, adaptive front lighting, and Preview Braking. It requires the Navigation Package.
Other options include a tilt-and-slide glass sunroof ($1,000); an 18-inch Performance Tire and Wheel Package ($400); an African Rosewood interior trim package ($450); and active four-wheel steering ($1,500), which includes unique suspension tuning, but is not available with AWD. Very few options on the G35 are truly stand-alone; almost all require the Journey Package, and some options exclude others.
Safety features that come standard on all models include dual-stage frontal airbags with occupant detection and seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters; front seat-mounted, side-impact airbags (for torso protection); roof-mounted, front and rear side-impact air curtains (for head protection); active front-seat head restraints; rear seat child safety seat anchors (LATCH); antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist; electronic stability control; and tire pressure monitoring.
