Replying to: johninnj (Aug 08, 2007 9:30 pm) 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. http://www.carpages.ca/go/roadtest/2006_acura_tsx_vs_mazda6_sport_gtv6_vs_volksw- - - - agen_jetta_20t_vs_volvo_s40_t5_comparison_test.aspx 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 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.

Replying to: pat (Aug 09, 2007 1:37 am) 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! |

Replying to: madnav (Aug 08, 2007 5:02 pm) 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.

Replying to: pat (Aug 09, 2007 10:08 am) 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 asked if anyone wanted to continue the comparo and a couple of posters indicated that they do. If I had made up my mind to pack it in when I asked the question, I would have just done it instead of asking. Now I'm serious - if you are not interested in this discussion, please stop posting in it. It will dry up and blow away if people stop posting. No one is preventing you from "moving on" as you are requesting. I am going to insist that going forward posts be on topic. Any further "direction" anyone feels the need to give me should be done via email. Thanks. |
