Yep, 3-series is indeed as common as the Honda Accord around where I live. It was one of the many strikes against it when I was making my decision about what to buy.

I was under the impression the 330I with performance package had better slalom times and skidpad results.

Correct me if i am wrong. And yes i am referring to 330I's not 325 as obviously a small 2.5 litre engine will not be able to compete with our VQ.

Very similar actually. The fastest slalom times are actually a bit faster for the G but they were tested on different days and different driver so its a wash. It will definitely come down to the driver.

All the other cars are 6 cylinders(04'G-35c, 03'RL). I think TSX is nice car for it's price... but I would get G35 anytime because it's faster, nicer, and mine playes XBOX on NAVI.!! hehe~
XBOX? Sweet! How did you hook that up?

Yes...i understand that...but all through the honda line, there seems to be a commonality in the design...top to bottom...that is what i mean.

as far as nissan and toyota goes, once the price crosses the 30k mark, there is quite a different approach to the design dontcha think?

also, starting next year, lexus will be sold in japan where the last car to have ties to toyota is the camry-based es330. from then on the lf-a design structure will only be present in the lexus...

I agree with you on how the design influence changes pretty drastically when you go north of 30k in the JDM. I am just saying that in America they had to market these models under a faux luxury brand to get American consumers to buy them. If it was the Nissan G35 I guarentee sales would never be anywhere close to what they are now.

I've always found it odd. I have lived in Hong Kong for a good 12 years of my life where street racing is also quite a big scene as far as are luxury cars. 6 out of 10 cars are taxi cabs, 3/10 are mercedes, and 2/10 are lexus and bmws.

But what i do find odd is that there is no Acura line or Infiniti line in Hong Kong or anywhere else in Asia.. but there is a Lexus line in Hong Kong.
