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)

Edmunds Sports Sedan comparison test was very interesting. Kudo's to the Infiniti G35, it deserves to be at the #1 spot. It really is the best combination of performance, luxury, and price. Great job Edmunds! 1. Infiniti G35 2. BMW 335i 3. Cadillac CTS 4. Lexus IS350 5. Mercedes-Benz C350 |

Replying to: drewsrx (Nov 03, 2007 4:39 pm) They said: Ultimately the G35 is probably the most capable-handling car in the segment, but most drivers will never be able to access its difficult-to-achieve limits. Also, the G35 and 335i both got a personal rating of 90%, What car they would buy if money were no object. That is pretty amazing, and the G35 cost almost $10k less! One would have to pay 27% more in price for the 335i for just 2% more in performance over the G35. Very interesting indeed! Even in the Second Opionions sidenote, the editor picked the G35. Infiniti did a really fine job with this product. Like they said in the article regarding the 335i: Plus, all great performances must come to an end sometime. Great job Infiniti!

Replying to: carnaught (Nov 04, 2007 6:58 am) You know the funny thing is, this is what Edmunds said: ...through the best automatic transmission in the class. The G's five-speed tranny not only responds quickest to the throttle, but also has the sharpest, most aggressive gearchanges (with rev-matched downshifts) of any automatic we've ever driven. And it feels as comfortable while blasting between gears with hard-hitting precision at full throttle as it does swapping cogs with a simple switch and slide in commuter traffic. Even though the G had the least number of gears, they thought it had the best transmission in the test. Amazing! But, I have heard that Nissan is working on a 7-Speed automatic. My guess is that DSG from the GT-R is going to find its way into the Infiniti lineup. For a performance oriented brand that would be the next most logical step. |
