I know the new IS has come out yet. But based on looks and projected power output for the IS, which would you take? I won't be purchasing my new car til oct when the IS350 is ava. The wait is killing me. I am so tempted to just go to the infiniti dealership and pick up a G now! Thanks for you input.

For pics of the new IS:

On a side note: my color of choice would be silver for the IS and white or black for the G

 

My input is to do a quick search here on the IS and then get coffee because you're gonna have a lot of reading to do.

Until the IS is on the street, you see the performance numbers, you feel the ride, and actually see what the car sells for with regard to the MSRP you are only guessing.

The rumors I've been hearing is the IS350 will come in about $8K over the G. The G gives a little discount but the IS likely won't when it first hits. Their may be a premium in fact. No one knows. It's all SWAGs.

 

i dunno y my thing posted twice, but can a mod delete one of the two?

 

Believe me I have! Just want some opinions from this forum that is all.

 

there is a HUGE thread regarding this somewhere...

do a search and you will find it. but the thread turns into a flame war from what i recall.. the IS350 seems like a GREAT car as far as i can tell and boy would i love to own one. But again.. at the end of the day i might pick the G35 over it for the same reasons many have picked the G35 over the 3-series.. $$$ and value... however.. the IS350 may be good competition against the 3 series at the price is about the same, but youre gonna get a lot more bang out of it it seems like than you would for the new 3.

 

IS350 will be in $40k range from what I hear... load it up with options and it will quickly reach close to $50k if the $40k starting price is true. I like the new IS but for the price, I don't think it's worth it... it is a great car, though, and the power output will be 300+hp. I would still choose G coupe over IS350, but that's just me.

 

They are on the road. I've seen them. I still like my G35 better

 

I think thats the GS that you've seen. Not the new IS that they're talking about. It's not due out til this winter I think..

 

$40k, nahhh. Go get yourself a G, order it, and don't buy the premium package because the sound system is worthless. YOu'll be able to get a new G 6MT for 33-34k and be driving in it damn soon!

 

new is350 is nice but the g35 is better looking. I think that the new lineup of Lexus's (is350, and new GS) are great but arent going to be the G and M

 

Don't think so - every review I've read says 'fall 05' and none of the dealers around here have them.. Could be wrong though.

 

Are you comparing the IS to the G 35 coupe or sedan?

If you're comparing the G coupe and IS sedan, only you can decide if you want 2 or 4 doors, but I think the G is the way to go.

IS and G35 sedan comparo is hands down won by the Lexus. The G sedan is actually quite ugly, if you ask me, and that L-car looks mean ... for a sedan.

 

I live in GA and I saw one for sure the other day and it wasnt the GS. Its a good looking car but for some reason it looks cheap to me with all the sharp lines on the hood and side. It looks alot like a mazda to me, the G coupe definitely wins hands down on the looks department.

 

meh... buying a model the first year it comes out has never set well with me. You might be in for some surprises that could really ruin the ride for the next 4-5 years.

 

the g35 coupe lines will look better then is350
unless come with a is350 coupe
I seen 06 gs430 in person and it does not impress me
the line do not stick out
like coupe does
g35 coupe has sick lines and a great look
