What would Infiniti have to do to beat the BMW 330i in a comparison?

You have to admit that the IS350 is a real competitor to the G35 don’t you? I would consider trading my G35 for an IS350 if the price really was about $40K and if the back seat is not as small as some people have said. However, I think it will end up being more like $42K-$44K for the IS350 I would buy and the back seat is really quite small. Still a very nice car though. A whole lot better than the 330i I think. Still not quite the “deal” that the G35 is though.

As soon as I get to the PNW (of course $hitty south Texas has no Lexus dealer) I'm going to go have a look at one. Not to trade, just to see what the car offers, how it feels, and what the asking/selling price difference is.
I agree with the $42 - $44K average mentioned here - if not a little higher fully loaded.

Didnt mean to offend you in any way. I really like my G, great car for the price and performance that you get. I just think that Infiniti dropped the ball a bit on the "sport pkg". Compared to the cars in its class, engine power aside, It just dosent have the look of a sport pkg. Imo of course. Tires are on the skinny side and ride height is crazy high. I wanted the coupe but the best I could get it for was 500 over invoice. I got the sedan for 1200 below. Oh well, I figured someone would get offended by me thinking that the G is not the best for everybody......

I'm very happy with my 05 6mt and sport pkg but a slightly sportier look would help it stand out. I'm still not complaining because I got mine for much less than $30k. From reading the review in MT on the IS350, it sounds like it's going to have an awesome set of standard options. I will probably check one out in person but won't be trading in my G35 anytime soon. Price and performance wise, it just cannot be beat.

Much less than $30K!? How much did you actually pay? Did you get any options on it? I would be curious to see how much a place like carmax would buy your car for? I bet you could sell it for more than you bought it for if you really paid “Much” less than $30K. I would consider much less about $3K. Were you really around that?
