Ironic that someone who attacks a preference as a character shortcoming worries about someone else offending someone with a non P-C term. RL is flagship..it was mentioned for your incorrect features claim. I'm glad your friend humored you with your car. My S2K would be hard pressed to lose My G on anything but the tightest roads. G would actually win on the highway.

I could afford the extra 10k, and the M3, but my advisor said don't spend more than 10% of your income on a car. That's why I have a home.
 
I drive what I want...not what I can scrape up the payments for.
 
If you drive what you want, why do you drive a g35?
 
I'm in Canada. A TSX with navigation is 40k. G35 with Navigation, and sport package is $51,370.00 before Tax. I'm 35 years of age, with a home, family and I'm a car enthusiast. At this point in my life, I want to save, build assests and drive a fun car that allows me to have financial freedom and own the things I do. I'm the person that Acura was marketing the car for. It fits my life perfectly. So, you're missing the point. I don't want a g35, as it does not appeal to me. Faster or not. I see kids in my area that live at home with their parents driving them. I don't associate the g35 with status or it being worth my extra 10 or more grand. Over 4 years with interest, that's 14k. Keep in mind in Canada you have to earn 28k to get 14k (50% tax bracket here). You're 10k difference means I have to earn 28 thousand dollars more to drive the "next class level" of car. I'm just explaining this to you so you understand that for 40k, which was my price range, it was the best for me. I think it plenty fast and a true joy to drive for me everyday. I'm sure you feel that way about your car.
 
You have it good in the US, with cars.
 
Here's a quote for you from a recent comparison test.
 
That leaves us with the number one car here on the list, the Acura TSX. It's the most complete car on the list, with fluid handling, a gearbox that feels as if all of its innards are coated with Teflon, and refinement that others simply couldn't match. If that wasn't enough, the Acura's technology left us deeply impressed and often with our jaws dropped.
This was comparing the Mazda 6, Jetta 2.0, volvo s40 and Acura TSX.

I think it's fantastic that a car that's not even in the same 'class' as the G35 is being compared to it.
 
"You really just don't get it."
 
Will all do respect. We're not on the same page and i'm ok with that.

You're fixated on which car is fastest. You're entire discussion of what's important about a car is based on which car would 'win'. That sounds like insecurity really. There are SUV's that are faster than a g35. A neon could be faster. For some of us, it's no big deal, because I don't drive to 'win'.

G37 convertible. Thought you like to see this while you write another message about how fast your car is.

You guys need to back off and stand down. This has turned into a personal spitting contest that's not helpful to anyone.
 
Agree to disagree and move on. And please knock off the personal remarks altogether.

I currently drive a TSX. The lease is up in October. I've been car shopping and the G35 is at the top of my list.
 
  The TSX is a nice car, but very neutral- nothing to love or hate about it. The G35 seems more of a comparison to the TL (which I think is ugly).
 
  Also test drove the Lexus IS250. Very nice, but given the price difference between the IS and TSX, I'd buy another TSX.
 
 The G35 offers much more than the TSX, including a personality!

I don't understand why people say you can't compare these cars. They both fulfill the same role in the marketplace, just with different emphasis. Does everyone here buy the most expensive car they can afford
 
I understand...
 
My decision came down to the 2007 Infiniti G35 -or- the 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
 
For me, it had nothing to do with price or the top speed/0-60 times, even though the G was $300,000 less in price.
 
The G had more cup holders.

People are welcome to compare cars across segments. People who think the comparos are inappropriate are welcome not to participate.

Actually Pat, jus yesterday, you asked if anyone felt this comparo was justified or if it was time to close.
 
The fact is, although I completely agree with you on this, this thread has just become a little out of control and some have gotten a little offensive/defensive with their posts.
 
There hasn't been any real TSX vs G35 updates to this thread in some time.
 
My vote is, stick a fork in this one.... it's done.

I've become both offensive and defensive with the post. So, I agree, let's move on. Conversation was dead many submissions ago.
