Yes it will, and it's called a 50/50 weight balance.

I like both brands (own a BMW now, getting a G) but the 50/50 weight balance in the BMW is really nice - makes a nice neutral handling car. Drive a 330 and see - it's a nice ride. Better? Well, it's preference I think, but you can't drive one and not see it's merits.

Also, BMW's new car warranty (no charge for maintenance) kicks Infiniti in the rear. And darn good dealer service IMO.

 

great more hot headed teenagers/young adults who think they rule at life cuz they have a car from a lame movie.

 

So the .5 liter difference in engine size will be made up for in the 53/47 of the infiniti

Give me a break, go read numbers or something Dave, i dont care how it "Feels" its not as fast.

If you think preformnce wise a 330 is faster. Im sure the police will be at your house for a drugs bust soon

 

no charge for maintenance = $5k more for the 330Ci than the G35c
despite what you want to believe BMW's maintenance costs are built into their price. dealer service depends on the dealer. there are crappy and good dealers for all types of cars.
Don't get me wrong, the 330 is a great car to compare with the G35. I like them both.

 

Yes, and the raw HP numbers don't mean a thing either. Silly, but I guess people really look at #'s rather than driving the cars.

But, you want #'s...

Fine.. look at the acceleration #'s on BMW's across the board. They overacheive for their HP. The old e46 330i w/ ZHP = 0-60 in 5.7. How many HP? 235.

Yes, the infiniti kinda underacheives for 298hp.

 

Or maybe it was the fact that 90% of Supra TT's out there were probably at the VERY LEAST bpu and putting out 450hp+. All my buddies were putting out 650rwhp+. I don't know about you but with that type of power, I suppose you would think they rule at life...

As for what the Supra will be priced at and what it competes with, there's enough rumors floating around to fill a museam. Supra owners have been staying with the latest news and it's pretty much gotten to the point where we'll just believe it when we see it. Will it compete with the 30k price range? Maybe so. Will they price it higher and have it compete with the true sports car level? Maybe but who knows? It all depends on how Toyota will target the car and only time will tell.

 

Ill definatly check out the new IS350.. It looks good to me. If I dont end up liking it during the test drive, I have a great deal lined up on an Black/Black 05 g35coupe with nav that is arriving in october.

 

They will probably offer is350 with manual as a 2007 edition. Apparently most American luxury car drivers do not want "stick" so most company dont offer this trim. There is no stick for A4 3.0.... so lame.

 

if you don't get it, then save your money

and it's a bit sad that you can't apreciate a better chassis and engine performance,

it's just sad that a 3.5 liter six gets it's torque peak over 4 grand when bmw can give you max torque from 2200 all the way to redline

 

Hate to say it, but I expect the toyota to be a better all around car. I suspect Toyota did its homework after no one purchased an IS during the last three years.

If the price is right, the 350 might be in may garage next year.

I have had too many annoyances from my G35 the past two years. Mainly, plain ergonomics and sorry as air circulation in the cabin. The only car I had to run the air conditioning at all times. In the winter because the front windhield fogs, and in the summer because the vent system sucks more hot air threw the cabin than a 50 cent #%$#.
