I drove the G35X also, but I need the hatch to carry my son's goalie equipment. The trunk opening on the G was just too small, even though I would have preferred a stick to an auto-box.

No regrets, though - really enjoying the EX, especially how smooth and refined it is. I did get the Tech package for the AVM and find it indispensible, but must confess I completely disable the LDW/LDP.
