I'd take any....the 2009 GT500, the 2010 GT500, or the 2009 Infiniti G37s.

I'm always hesitant to buy the first year of a re-model. I know the 2010 isn't entirely different but there are always a few shortcomings with the introduction of a completely new model. That's a small thing to worry about, especially since the car has warranty, but it could be a headache and keep you from dirving the new car!

While the '10 may be more rounded in the rear as compared to the previous generation S197, it's still pretty squared off(compared to most EVERY modern sports car) and not at all worth of being compared to bubbly shaped Japanese sports cars. I just don't want to see this youtube like banter on our site, especially if it's targeting one of our own kind. Meaning, if you have a complaint atleast make it accurate. K?

Both are gorgeous. IMO, the gt500s are better looking than any car this side of 200k. However, id prefer the 2010.

And no, they look NOTHING like a G37.

Smile a vote for the '09 !

Hi there - I had the choice between an '09 and '10 and I went with the '09 .... although it ultimately boils down to personal preference, I am partial to the '09. The performance differences between the '09 and '10 can be matched for relatively little $$$ - the only difference for me between the two is that I think the '10 interior is a bit classier ....

Good luck with your decision - you really can't make a bad one !!

I'll be completely honest, if I could have afforded a 2010 GT500 I would have bought one in a heartbeat because I think they look freakin awesome! When I questioned what kind of deal I could get, they laughed and said that it would be awhile before they would even have that discussion. So I decided to just buy the 2008 GT500 Convertible that I now own for almost $15K under MSRP...LOL!!

The reviews of the 2010's have been strong - KR motor, much nicer interior, better handling. The exterior looks are a close call in my opinion. I would think that you can get a better deal now on the 2007-2009's now.
