The base G37 doesn't have a moonroof, heated seats, iPod integration, auto-dim rearview mirror, compass/homelink, or Bluetooth. All standard on the TSX.
 
To get all that, you must order the G37 Journey with Premium Package. MSRP of $36,200 (2009 model).
 
And you can't put a price on the smooth and refined Acura V6 engine - the Infiniti runs like a Peterbuilt by comparison.

I wouldn't drive the TSX or TL unless they're 10K cheaper than the G.
 
BTW, w/ premium package, you also get Bose, memory seat, heat seat, an power tilt & telescopic steering wheel...not sure if those are included with the base TSX.

"not sure if those are included with the base TSX."
 
That's because you haven't done much research and don't know what you're talking about.
 
Both are fine cars in their own way. The G is a little quicker and hard-edged, the TSX is a little more refined and polished. Neither can be considered a luxury car or a sports car.

OK, initially I wanted to say what I think, then I remembered seeing this on MT, see the readers comments for the TSX here (scroll to the bottom)
 
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0906_2010_acura_tsx_v_6/index.htm- l
 
Then see the ones for the g37 here
 
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0810_2008_infiniti_g37_sedan_test- /index.html
 
Generally for every 1 person who liked the TSX, there was probably 10 who hated it. The reverse is true for the G37. As one who drives an 08 G35, moving to the G37 in 2010, I normally like a good fight, this is one I dont even mind losing. Couldnt care less.
 
Enjoy the TSX. Can I appeal to those who like the g37 to just let this one go and save you strength for worthy contenders like the 328i or the Hyundai Genesis V6 sedan.
 
I am out.

Professional automotive journalists almost always prefer the car that is sportier and more fun to drive. When push comes to shove, 330hp and RWD is always going to be more exciting to play with than 280hp and FWD.
 
But nobody can say one car is "better" than the other. If you want a luxurious car that can spit a little fire when you want it to, then the G is a fine choice. There are, however, others who are willing to trade a little vim and vigor for some spit and polish.
 
The TSX is not as quick or dynamic as the G37, but it is a jewel of a machine.

Thanks- I love my 06 Milano red/ebony 6MT/nav tsx, bought new 11/17/06. It has almost 85,000 problem free miles. Glad you love your G's as much.

From your list I need only a heated seats. iPod is a joke and useless for me, I don't speak when I drive, no need for Bluetooth Moonroof is HUGE minus for me, because of less head space. I better pay $500 in order to get it removed:-)

Nice joke. Please, try BMW I6 at list once, you will get an idea about smooth engine. Honda's high revs engines with torque steer far away from "smooth".

To be frank, I am not loyal to any brand
Same here. Had 2001 acura tl-s, replaces brake rotors and pads every 30K miles, trans 3 times, leaking sun roof, clock lamp replaced 6 times, rusted exaust. Drop that junk at 50Kmile and switched to Accord....wrapped brake rotors, leaking windshield... Now I'm driving horrible BMW ....with 0 issues. 58Kmiles and counting

You're right. I don't care about the TSX because of the weak engine. The last time I look at all of these cars closely was back in late 2007. I tested drive the TL and the G back in 2005 and I couldn't live with the TL even if I could find one cheaper.
 
However, you're the person who brought up the lack features on the G. You try to add the premium package to the G to make it equal to the base TSX. So, I think it's fair that I want to know if those 3 features are included in the TSX as well.
