Opinions please.

Nice looking ride, great features on the inside. All I can say is shift paddles.

I wouldn't consider trading my coupe on it, but if I had a sedan I'd have already traded it...

its a toss up.......but i would take the 06 g35. The IS350 is a really nice car, but its no g

IS350 comes in automatic only, G35 gives you the option.
IS350 is smaller both inside and outside.

Lexus has better service and better reliability. Personally, i'd take the IS350 if it didn't already go for the G35. Go for it if you don't mind the price difference.

4 dr vs 2 dr.... your choice.

I would take an IS-350 over the G35 any day of the week, the G35 have too may rattles and Infiniti services are not all the great. But for the money Lexus asking for the IS-350 you might as well look into the BMW 3 series a better car all around.

Gosh I love that new IS 350. If I needed a 4 door and money didnt matter, I would get the IS 350.

If I wanted a 2 door though, G35 coupe would be my choice hands down.

I wouldnt even consider getting the IS 250. Lame performance for lots of $$$. Its an overpriced car for what you get, like those C230 kompressors that I love messing with.

if you want a sedan, auto, 10k extra.. IS350

i still dont see how people compare the two cars. i'd say the 330i is the best car to compare it with.. not a coupe

I like the power delivery, interior design, gadgets and exterior on the IS350. I don't care much about its price, automatic transmission and soft suspension. When it comes down to it, I think the IS350 is more comparable to the G35 Coupe rather than the G35 sedan. Even though it has 4 doors, the IS350 is tiny compared to the G35 sedan. In fact I think the IS350 is smaller than the G35 Coupe in most interior dimensions except for rear headroom.

IS350 is a nice car to me. It does have the power, but the handling is a bit too soft for me.

I've driven it at the Taste of Lexus event, so I really had the chance to flog it. Lots of body roll and it understeers quite a bit.

I'd take the G (sedan or coupe) over the IS simply because of the price.

Lexus has better interior toys... without a doubt!!! And 2 price range (IS250 & IS350). But Infiniti has more HP for the money.
It comes down to how much to spend?!?!?

You can't go wrong with either one!

[dBubis]

Maybe he is considering the G35 Sedan...

I'd take the G over the IS anyday. Lexus seems to take the enjoyment out of driving by making their cars too quiet & neutral. You can't feel any lateral g's in corners or hear the roar of the exhaust when you give it some more gas. You can't even feel the road when you turn the steering wheel. They also have their electronic stability systems that won't allow you to push the car enough to have some fun in it. I just doubt that any Lexus product would put a big a smile on my face when I drive it as my G does and at that price, why not look at the Infiniti M series.
