Quoting from pages 53 and 57 of the June 2006 issue of BMW Car Club of America's Roundel magazine:

[From the 2006 NY Auto Show] "Most significant new car if you are shopping for a 3 Series: 2007 Infiniti G35 Sedan. . . . If any other car on the planet comes close to a 330i with the sport package, it is the similarly equipped G35. It may not be a BMW, but it is the closest thing yet any rival has made. And they are making it better."

". . . Infiniti debuted the 2007 G35, a car that in its first iteration finally put Infiniti on the map as a competitor to Lexus, Acura, and European luxury cars. The new car, ver similar in style to the old one so as not to alienate any customers, will arrive with a new version of Nissan's ubiquitous 3.5 liter VQ V6 engine, with horsepower 'in excess' of 300."

 

I llove it.

 

"Close to a 330" LOL
For the money the G is very hard to beat.

 

Sometimes, I just wanna say f@#$ BMW and how they write about them... it's like they dont take price into consideration.

When comparing the G and the 330, they should put enough mods in the G so that it equals to the price tag of the Bimmer, and than compare the performance. Just my opinion, I may be wrong.

 

^Its not just performance. That is the thing that most of you don't get.

 

Yes I know, styling in both interior and exterior. But I don't think people buy these cars because of their looks... or do they?

And if handling on the 330 is better, the G's can be easily improved.

 

If it ain't M3 it ain't ****, I'll take the G over a 330 all day long

 

They buy it for the looks, interior, because its a BMW, and because it is the ultimate driving machine.
spending $300 on my suspention, i will lose a 330 in the twisties, and will keep up with an M3 in low speed corners. At the same time there is no need to be ignorant.

 

having driven a bmw and my g with some suspension mods and no matter what bmw will win in the twisties no matter what. its just the feel for the road that you get with them. just amazing. i dnno what theyre upto but those damn germans...they crazy

 

HAHA... very cool

 

I love Bimmers, I plan to get one as my next car, I think I'm just defending the G too much.

 

U say that because u haven't driven both G and the BMW to the limit. BMW feels very different from the G. I still can drive my G faster than any BMW because i am not used to it. Take it to the limit and u see what happens.

 

+1

Don't get me wrong. I love BMW's but the people out there with low end 3 series that think they are the $hit just make me mad.

 

Man the sedan gets all the greatest press, and then stupid people think its all about the G35(coupe)

 

i assure you for a fact that driven by great drivers the 530i w/ sports package can outhandle a STOCK G. coupe or sedan doesnt matter. with active steering and sports suspension its game over
