I was at my Acura Dealer who doubles as a bodyshop picking up my car (6mt Sedan hit in rear quarter panel - boo hoo) when I decided to sit in the new Acura tl - nice interior (not great - like audi better) but I did notice a clutch lighter than my Civic and an incredibly vague shifter. Just from sitting in the tl I could tell I would rather be shifting my civic.

 

Just test drove one today. The clutch is like a toggle switch: off or on. As nice as the interior was (like a very well appointed and modern corporate meeting room, or something) the clutch and front end push/body roll/unsporting cornering made me completely dislike it. G wins again.

 

im sure that could be taken care of with simple suspension mods though.

True enough, but why buy a car you feel you have to mod (not want to, like for performance...he he he) as soon as you buy it. I would be happy with the G35 right off the lot. And, the G has a clutch I like right off the lot.
