Tell him he drives a VW Jetta with an emblem package and face lift.

/owned

You drive a 350z with a backseat and leather... nothing wrong with that, that's actually cool

Every car will have haters. Name one car where NO ONE hates it.

In the end its your own car, I don't see why other people's words should bother you at all. You spent your own money on it, and heaven forbid you spent it on something you don't like.

They don't look like each other at all.. there's like literally no comparison. You need to tell your friend to stop smoking too much. All that THC is probably getting to him.

I'd take that as a compliment too lolol

I'm not comparing performance - there is definitely a trade off - the G performs better. The Audi, IMO, feels like a better quality build inside and it's definitely a quieter cabin.

The G interiors are pretty horrible when it comes to noise in the cabin.. Especially for a car considered by some to be a near-luxury purchase.

Different strokes. I love my G but also have a lot of respect for the Audi line (maintenance woes aside).

Audi also has an buyer expectation from their brand that Infiniti is still trying to achieve. That means nothing to me but it's there nonetheless.

I still get people who get into my car and say 'I had no idea these were this nice inside - I've never seen one before..."


The newer G's interior isn't that bad, but it's not as nice as the Audi. The difference isn't ridiculously *HUGE, but it's definitely noticable.

So many subjective posts in one thread... but people are entitled to their opinion so here's mine.

Until they've got a Veyron Supersport there will always be someone out there with a car that is better than theirs. People can talk **** about a car all they want to but its all about what you make of it. Not everyone has the same tastes at all.

But to your point you own and worked hard for yours. Thats what really in the end matters. A G is still a nice car I get compliments from people who drive around in said Porche's all the time.

Nah, more like the poor mans BMW 3-series

I actually read articles in road and track and motor trend several years back where they even called it that.

Face facts, it competes against the BMW 3-series in its market segment, and comes in at a cheaper price.

Who cares anyway? An a4 is a nicer passat anyway.
