That is just the beauty of the G35, mine is an 08. It offers reliability, interior room, lots of tech, its really fast, very comfortable, the list goes on. I would not compare the pricing of the G with the TSX though cos it would not make any sense, the G has everything the TSX has to offer, and then some. Contrast the G with the 335i & IS350. Its way cheaper than those cars. Also, comparing fuel consumption of a 3.5l V6 with a 2l 4 banger would not make sense either.

I can say the same thing about my 06 6MT tsx/wnav. (except for the really fast part but it can get you a speeding ticket). I am very pleased with my car after two years of ownership (bought new 11/17/06). It now has almost 66,000 problem free miles. I must say I would consider getting an infiniti way before a BMW or Lexus. Plan on keeping my tsx at least one more year (should be at 100,000 miles by then)

In my opinion, while the G is a nice car and 'quantitatively' beats the TSX in a number of areas, I would argue that the TSX wins from a 'qualitative' point of view.
 
Honda (and Acura) cars possess a refinement and elegance in their ergonomic design, control smoothness, material quality, driveline precision, airy cockpits, etc. that cannot be measured but is certainly superior to most other cars in the category.
 
When you sit in the TSX, you feel good. The controls are in the perfect place and move with teflon-coated precision. The engine revs like a sewing machine and sounds/feels smooth and turbine-like. The transmission and clutch operate with snick-snick precision - no balkiness in the driveline. The TSX is finishing school polished.
 
Compared to the TSX, the G35 is a little rough around the edges. It feels more assembled from the parts bin rather than the Gestalt of the TSX. The cockpit is a cacophony of shapes and textures. The driveline is relatively unrefined. Yes it goes fast and turns sharp, but in my opinion, it's not as enjoyable to drive.

Enjoy your ride. I guess one thing is for sure, we both are enjoying our rides and I guess this are two good cars that provide great value.
 
All the best with the rest of your miles to 100k

As it happens, I'm not loyal to either marque (I don't own an Acura or an Infiniti), and although I've owned Nissan's and Honda's in the past, I have no plans to own either one in the future.
 
No need to keep your feelings to yourself. I'm sure everyone would be pleased to hear why you prefer the G35 and some of it's qualities that appeal to you.
 
There are great reasons to choose either one - it's feelings, rather than logic, that lead one to make a choice in this segment.

To be frank, I am not loyal to any brand. I will get what gives me the most bang for the buck. I will admit, I now realize this comparison is rather pointless. If we all look at the big picture, only one of these cars has been compared to the 335i, IS350 (even the Acura TL) and has come out on top on some of those comparisons.I have even come across people who have cross shopped the G with the A6, M3, 528/535i, some (certainly not all) deciding to get the G instead. To then turn around and wear blinkers to compare the G with the TSX, I doubt anything useful will come out of this. I will resign on this note.

From Acura's press release:
 
A new TSX powertrain choice means performance luxury buyers can enjoy a 280 horsepower 3.5L V-6, with sophisticated VTEC® valvetrain control and a dual-stage induction system. For maximum performance and efficiency, the engine will be coupled to Acura's Sequential SportShift automatic transmission, with intelligent features such as Grade Logic Control and Shift Hold Control. If the driver desires, the Sequential SportShift transmission can also be operated manually, via steering-wheel mounted F1®-style paddle shifters.

I think that's a smart move on Acura's part. More choices is always a good thing. I wonder if SH-AWD will follow, perhaps as part of the mid-cycle refreshening?

Hmm... Let's see... According to Edmunds.com...
                    
'10 TSX V6 $34,850
0-60: 6.4
Quarter: 14.796
5-speed auto
 
'09 G37 $33,250
0-60: 5.4
Quarter: 13.7102.8
7-speed auto
 
The numbers do not seem to favor the TSX
