Comparison Test: 2007-2008 Sport Sedans - This is exactly why we gathered this group of sport sedans. That is, to find out if the 2008 Cadillac CTS, 2007 Infiniti G35 Sport, 2008 Lexus IS 350 or 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport can topple the Bavarian champ — the 2007 BMW 335i. In the spirit of the segment, each car in the test is outfitted with sport package hardware — usually a stiffer suspension and bigger wheels and tires — and an automatic transmission. (more)

Replying to: kdshapiro (Nov 14, 2007 6:39 pm) I am so tire of hearing BMW 3 Series outsells Infiniti G35 ! First of all, just because one model sells more, it doesn't mean it's the best car in the segment. Also, 3 Series have many models including sedan,coupe and convertibles. I bet BMW sells lot more of 328 sedan than 335. In terms of content and performance, 328 isn't even close to G35, mainly due to power shortage. I don't know if anyone has exact figures, but if you compare just 335 and G35 sales, I don't think BMW 335 OUTSELLS G35. When comparing similar cars, total sales shouldn't be an issue.

Once again, my friend, the reason why BMW is the #1 seller in this country is the same reason why the NASCAR racing circuit is the #1 racing venue in this country: Flat-out, yee-haw-inducing, cowboy hat-waving, road-burning acceleration of both cars concerned and nothing more. Americans like that kind of stuff.
