M35 Sport, Acura TL or 300C

I want your opinions. After having my G35C for over a year now I've sort of fallen in love with the Infiniti lineup. To make a long story short, my wife wants a 4 door sedan. After looking at the 530i, Chysler 300C and the Acura TL I dropped by the dealership and saw an M35 last. I simply feel in love....Does Infiniti know that they're killing me and my wallet. Anyway...the choices are down to the M35 and the Acura TL. I would love to have another Infiniti but in automatic sitting next to my Coupe. After receiving my Road and Track in the mail and seeing how the M45 destroyed 6 other sedans in a test I think my mind is already made up. The 45 is a little pricey with all the bells and whistle but then again...This car will not be a racer. M35 should suffice just fine. What is your choice if you had to choose?

The TL is a class under the M35. Even Acura enthusiasts would admit to that but you are gonna pay $10k-$15 more for the M.

Looks like the Highlander is moving to the outside of the garage soon. I'm going to order the M35 Sport...My only other question is Color. I feel in Love with the showroom color, it was black but I've had my problems with black through the years trying to keep my beater a 1998 Dodge Avenger looking halfway decent. My G is DG and I love that color...Why not have 2 the same color? Thanks for the comments guys....BTW I'm surprised no one said get the 300C...A 345HP beast fully loaded comes to about 40k out the door. I guess when you ask on an Infiniti website you're going to get that. Anyway I did a build and everything I want should come out to the mid 40's. As usual the Infiniti Packages are driving me crazy. I want the 14 speaker systen but I also want Navigation and a DVD Player for my daughter. I can't believe they have a package that totals to more that 10k. I may just get a basic sport and call it a day.

I say get the Hemi it will get way more looks I should know I have one but the M has alot more cooler technology but if your on a budget the 300C will be nicer even a SRT8 is only like 45K or so with 425hp so give the chrysler a thought go drive it and check it out.But personally I like them both I like the cool factor of the 300 better but I like the M better for what it is.just my $0.02.

The 300c is a really nice car, but the M is a bit classier and more refined. I love that new red color on the M35. I'd go for the sport with the appearance package. Beautiful car. Good luck.

I would chose a true sports sedan over a 4000 lb cruiser and I don't care what's under the hood. The M35 would make sense as soon as the road gets curvy.

I'd save a tad more for the M45. If it were me, I'd forget about the 300C. It's my favorite stylistically, I'm not buying a new car with pushrod valvetrain and an iron engine block.

pick up the latest car and driver magazine there is a great article that includes the m45 sport, bmw530, acura RL, audio a6, lexus gs430. To sum it up though the M45 sport wins in practically every category. Also the audi a6 and bmw 530 have a lot of rinky dink problems that you will find are consistent with german cars (hate to say it but that's what everyone I know who has one tells me).

they are all nice cars, but I have read many reviews, and the m had always come up on top, and not only is it a good performer, but it also looks real nice

hummm...tough choice. The M's are definitely nicer, but the TL is a great buy too.
