It doesn't look like the 2005 has changed much compared to the 2004. I just test drove the coupe again for the THIRD time since last May. I am seriously considering purchasing it -- most likely this weekend. I was wondering what I would be missing out on if I went with the 04 versus the 05.
You are going to miss the 18 hp, a better radio (MP3 capability in 05s), and possibly a better transmisstion.
What you aren't going to miss is the Brembo's, the premium cost when they increase the MSRP (can get some pretty good deals on the 04s now), the 18s, and having your car now.

Brembo's are a good thing. However for a day to day driver, they won't shine. Repeatedly hard stops will show the difference between the Brembo's and the stock brakes. The stock's will not necessarily cause the car to have longer stopping distances (maybe a couple of feet MAX).
My guess is that Nissan deleted the Brembos, put stock brakes on, put hard pads on and therefore only had to raise the sticker slightly for the 05s.

I agree with GZire. There's just a $300 raise of MSRP of 2005 G35c 6MT over the one for 2004.5 At the same time the 5ATs (which didn't have Brembos standard) get a raise of $600 over the 2004.5
Just my $0.02

Just logged onto the Infiniti home page tonight. They are now updated with all the 2005 model info, gallery photos, specs, everything we have been waiting for.
I will be taking delivery of my 05 DG sedan tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on how long they take to install the chipguard...anyone interested in me posting pics?
