Yes, the Acura has the Technology/Navigation package and the Infinity doesn't. You'd have to add at least the Navigation package, Premium package, spoiler and 18" wheels to get the Infinity G37 to match the Acura TL. The MSRPs are both in the same ball park when you consider it's difficult to equip the cars identically due to how the options are packaged. I find Infinity has a little more versitility when it comes to selecting option packages.
 
Just goes to show you have to check for yourself that you're comparing apples to apples and understand what the equipment differences are so you can make a informed decision.

TL
0-60 6s (Here its slower than a 328i with 230HP)
1/4 mile 14.8s 97mph (At par with the 328i with 230HP)
 
G35x with 306HP (Have not seen the G37x times yet, which would be better)
 
0.60 5.4s
1/4 mile 14s 100mph
 
I would not call this the same.
 
It would be hard for me to get the TL over the 328i, interior, exterior, features are all subjective. I would pass on the 328i for the G37 though. Just my 2 cents.

My sister has a 2007 Infiniti G35X and I have driven that car many times. The car is a rocket, so I can only imagine how fast the G37 must be.
The Infiniti is not a comfortable car at all. My brother in law hates it. The car is definitely more sport oriented than the TL.
Now as for the TL, it has lots of room and is very comfortable. I think it has plenty of HP and shows much more composure with handling that HP. It is much more civilized than the Infiniti.
It really comes down to personal preference. I was really liking the Infiniti, but when it came down to it the wife & I liked the civility of the TL. Just MO.
