Lexus advantages

* Better Smart key feature than the Infiniti
* Ventilated front seats
* Memory seats
* LED interior lights
* If you get navigation system, it comes with back-up camera and (if applicable) intuitive parking assist
* More potential for VIP mods

that's a 20$ fix

I have a 93 GS300 Sedan and it has less rattles and noise than my G35.

200k on the original motor and still going strong.

The only thing that went wrong with it is the rear passenger window motor went out.

I have driven a lexus gs350 and it is nice car for sure, has a lot of nice features on the inside,handles nicely but it doesnt have that "soul" that a G has. I guess by soul i mean that sporty feeling, could hardly hear the engine lol. If it were me I would go with the G, the interior is nice and you get that sporty feeling.

It's really up to you and what you really want, I am not a big fan of owning luxury cars, i find them boring unless it is like some amg model or IS-F.

I'm with you on that one.

For a luxury car, I'd look more into an BMW M, AMG, IS-F or CTS-V.

All provide the best of both worlds and you can find them at decent prices (used).

there has to be something wrong with it

that link was posted in our local forum, and apparently that dealer is notorious for selling wrecked vehicles after they have been fixed up

I agree with G35xChicago - do you want performance or luxury - If you want both, you will have to go up a notch in the price range. When I am in Florida all the old folks now seem to drive Lexus as opposed to the Cadillac they used to drive in the 70's and 80's.
