Are you serious with this statement?

I don't think a G35 could be described as high end, luxury, or as a sports car...

Really depends what your budget is. A Bentley is higher in class than a Lexus/Inf/BMW etc and significantly more expensive.

If you really want a decent step-up from the G, I would consider something like Porsche 911, MB CLK63/65 Black Series, Lotus, Nissan GTR (don't take traction control off LOL), older Lambos/Ferraris. Again, it really depends on your budget and if it's going to be a toy or a daily driver.

what about a 94 supra TT? Do those cars have any problems? I've asked my local shop but they really didnt have much to say other than buy it.

I had a similar experience. I sold my 04 G coupe after getting fed up with the repair and maintenance costs, but I missed the car too much and ended up buying a 06 G coupe last year. Make sure you really want to get rid of the G, you may regret it!

Is actually already out is called 335is and yeah I've seen 07-08 335i with low mileage going from $25k-$30k here in FL. With 2 or 3 grand you will be in the middle 12s on the 1/4 mile. Thats probably my next car.
