Replying to: sidpaul (Nov 03, 2005 10:39 pm) If you must have 4 doors, go with the TL. If you want something more sporty go for the G35 coupe. Seriously though, test drive them all - that's the only way to decide what is best for you. The BMW's will cost more for essentially the same car.....

Replying to: twmark (Mar 11, 2006 1:38 pm) I pay for my 330i 38,500. (AT, NAVY, CA, ZPP before TTL) - Good lack find RL for this price. And best of all I fly to Munich with my family to pick up car there and drive for 2 weeks in Europe.

Automotive Lease Guide honored the G35 with the coveted 2005 Residual Value Award. ALG sets the automotive industry's benchmark for residual values. "Residual value excellence [has become] more difficult to achieve," said John Blair, Automotive Lease Guide's Chief Executive Officer—for other autos, perhaps, but not the G35.   Yet another reason to buy the G over the TL & 3.

Replying to: factfinder (May 20, 2006 12:43 pm) http://www.alg.com/awards.aspx   http://www.alg.com/deprratings.aspx   Using that line of thinking BMW is #1 in the Luxury Brand Residual Value Rankings, Infiniti is #6. Just another reason for leasing any BMW over any Infiniti.   Also the 330 has 5 stars depreciation, while the G35 has 4 stars. Replies to this message: ivorypearlg (May 21, 2006 8:44 am)

And yes both have excellent residual values, so if you looking for a car with great residual value both are a excellent option...
#195 of 247 The New G Vs. the new 3 by ivorypearlg May 21, 2006 (9:02 am)
I can't wait until the G37 Sedan and Coupe come out ! Along with the new BMW 335ci ! I saw pictures of the 335CI and the car is a little choppy in the front but extremely sexy... Link : http://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/futurevehicles/new3coupe/default   I wonder how the new G37 Coupe will hold up to this car, having the 335CI equipped with a Twin Turbo Inline-6 300HP / 300 LB-FT TQ. I'm sure that the G37 will match, if not overpower those numbers, but I'm almost willing to bet the G will be more hefty, and gas mileage will be poorer, since Turbo's are more effective at power output to gas consumption, one of the main reasons SAAB invented them. Anyway I don't understand why the 35 had to become 37 ? BMW has the 325 with a 3.0ltr engine. Can't wait and see what goes down, and what to buy ! !

Replying to: ivorypearlg (May 21, 2006 9:02 am) Infiniti's strategy is to offer the performance of the M3 for thousands less. I agree with you about the G37, it ought to use gas like a FORD 150 SVt at full throttle.   Seems like this person invented the jet turbine in the 1920's/1930's. The use of turbos in cars is just another adaption of outside technology being brought into the automotive world.   http://www.cwn.org.uk/heritage/people/whittle/biography.html   But turbochargers in and of themselves have been on engines since the 1920s.   http://www.turbolader.net/en/content/history_turbocharger.htm

Replying to: ivorypearlg (May 21, 2006 9:02 am) It's my understanding that the G will pump out well over 300 horses. If you want more, buy a blower to push the power near the 400 mark. Infiniti is walking away from BMW. Replies to this message: kdshapiro (May 22, 2006 1:19 pm)

Replying to: factfinder (May 22, 2006 12:52 pm) Yeah, Infiniti keeps uping the horsepower ante, but it has to deliver on the driving experience also, and as we know hp isn't everything. I give them a lot of credit, if you want horsepower/$ go for Infiniti.   The 335i should be very potent and much more balanced then the G37, while the new M3 should run rings around everything. You could add a blower to the M3 and make it into an M5.
