Very nice. I've been seeing the new models around the area where I live. Looks like they've got the styling down for this model. I thought the previous model looked a little narrow, but the new one looks "beefier". Watch the cops in that machine!

I can see this chat has not changed since my last post. Keep it going Host PAT.. anyway I would like to address the G35's interior --I think its fantastic-- the nav system and all the entertainment features are great..bose, 6 disk, hard drive, compact flash, sat radio and a mpg hookup --the tsx also has a real nice interior and nice nav system but infiniti has really raised the bar and incorporated the interior of the M to the lower G. The Tsx and the TL are a little dated at this point but I think for the price the TSX is one fantastic auto..but watch out the new accord might be a better deal.. in EX 4cyl form its pumpin out the same 200hp and a newer layout and in v6 form its got a 60 hp advantage with a better interior. its amazing how one year can change the automotive landscape.. i remember in 2000 when i bought my acura integra gsr with 170hp (and a fantastic engine and manual) now 300 hp is the standard along with climate control-ipods and stability control. I do think the g35 right now is that standard the others are looking at --yes bmw and acura along with lexus == the reason is the technology in the car the fantastic nissan engine and the price its hard to beat. Look at the sales numbers and they'll tell you the same.

I would suggest anyone in the market for a great overall car, grab a TSX while you can. My experience has been nothing but positive. I put the Aspec rims on the car and it looks a lot more aggressive. The new Accord, well...hmmmmmm. I'm trying to like it. The coupe, perhaps. The sedan, that thing could have 400hp, still not into the styling. The G35 Sedan and coupe are tough to beat. I personally don't care for the interior (sorry sweendogy). The clock annoys me and still find the interior a bit ergonomically challenged. The interior on the doors is flat, bland and the cabin feels a tad narrow (must be some illusion, because i'm sure it's wider than it feels). However, bang for the buck, it's about the best out there. Looks great on the outside, tons of power and features. It's the interior that kills it for me. After sitting in even the now 'long in the tooth' TSX, still looks better to me. Albeit, the G35 seats felt exceptionally comfortable with great lateral support. I'll see what happens when my lease is up. If the IS350 had back seats, it would be in the running. Perhaps the interior of an Acura, refinement of the Lexus and the looks of the G35 - or a buggati veron if you have a spare 1.4million.

G35 interior bland?? dont see it-- are we talking about the 2007??? I think for 07 they did a good job making it more userfriendly. Voice control of everything along with easy button control of every function (sorry IDRIVE) could not be better. I do think its a little narrow on the inside and the steering wheel not the best.. The clock is a infiniti gimick and a non factor for me. I would agree with you on the TSX great car but again for that kind of money its prob worth a look at the new accord or even branch out --Saab new 93, the subaru legacy sport both AWD with more power -- I would of loved to by another acura (for the service and reliablity) but lack of AWD and the overall package for the price has caught up with you/.

I hear ya. Never been a Saab fan as the exterior and interior both were lackluster for me. Subaru Legacy just seems to have an identity crisis. Kinda has TL lines with a back end that look old Toyota camry like. I like the Infinity line and I think by sales volume the G35 sedan and coupe are making BMW sweat a little. I prefer the interior of the Acura's and Mercedes. I had a 3 series and never really liked the interior of the BMW. I got 2.9% lease rate and about 4000 off list with the Navi and cost for the Aspec wheels. Very few black 06' TSX's with ebony finish wheels out there. I'm digging the car a lot and find it a joy to drive everyday. Albeit the look of the the new G37 and G35 from the outside is very appealing. They've improved the interior of the 07', but the center console and even the navigation placement with that pop up looking screen is unattractive to me. The horizontal spot with that large round dial is just not working for me. Maybe I would get use to it. Who knows, maybe my next car will be an infinity as they have some of the best overall packages to offer. Swap the interior of the Acura and i'm in.

Popup console? I'm confused... [gdoctsx1]

Interesting opinon on the interior of the G35. I'm a big guy (tall-ish and overweight,  ) and I fit well in the G35. It can feel a bit narrow but I blame that on the sheer size of the center console. It's bloody huge! I'm confused the most by your popup comment. I'm not sure I see what you're talking about... Now, saying it's not attractive, well, that I can understand. Having a big effectively blank, non-matching blob in the middle of the console is always going to be unattractive, imo.
For reference, here's a good photo of the 07 console:

The main thing I don't like about it is the Infiniti Controller. I never use it so it feels wasted to me. (Why use it when I can do everything with the on-wheel controls?!) I also agree on the clock being gimmicky but in a day and age when most teenagers can't seem to read an analog clock it amuses me to have one in the car...

If you don't like the infiniti controller you can still perform a lot of the functions without it. They don't limit you like the idrive. I'm very glad they didn't go for a pop up screen thing, i hate those. If anything, they look ugly!

G35 vs.TSX or TL
by johnnniebgood

Hi everyonel, I'm new to the townhall.
Currently own an '04 TSX / 36,000 miles with absolutely no major mechanical and/or structural issues....I can't believe how well it holds its resale value too!. However, I get the new car itch every few years and my TSX is on the way out. I understand TSX's and TL's will be redesigned in '09, but I'm not sure I want to wait until then...Hmmm, what to do? . I LOVE the G35 and with AWD (needed where I live) and package options its price is comparable to the TL not the TSX.
I agree with previous posts the better comparison of TSX might be (amongst others) the Lexus IS250 or the Audi A4 2.0.
I'll keep up my new car search ..... I think I have it narrowed down to around 12 different models right now...haha. Keep up the good posts!

TSX good, but not great in snow

I like my TSX, but to me it handles bad in the snow at least compared to the G35x model and even other AWD cars because the TSX is only FWD.
