Looks are one thing; assembly and quality of materials are another. Yes the new G35 does "look" the best in photos - especially the BMW. But if past dictates, this may not be the case in person. I understand that the vehicle Edmunds had was a production line test car, but I sure hope Infiniti addresses the clear fit-and-finish issues w/the interior in the photos provided.
Case in point: the G35 leather seats in the photos attached looked more like shinny vinyl then the IS350 and BMW, which look very sumptuous. Also, the inconsistent gaps in the console are very prevalent. Again these are photos so this may not be the case in person. Let’s hope Goshn move the "bargain" factor in places where it is not so noticeable, unlike the last horrendous interior.
Nevertheless, the new interior does look very much improved and shows how bad the previous interior was.

I sure as heck don't see it.
To answer the question, the G35, IS then 3.
3 interior looks like it came straight out of the 80's.
The fact that the standard G35 interior w/out nav comes with a nice screen is a plus.
Makes the IS w/out nav interior look very plain.

Qaulity and materials do count but those don't get you anywhere unless the overall look is good. Not long ago, it seemed the IS350 interior was far superior to the G. Now, it looks like the G is lightyears ahead of the IS. The looks very clean but that big, bright slab of the dashboard doesn't do it for me.

I'm not too concerned about the looks. Each interior has its +/- and has its own flair. However, I did sit in an IS last night; man, talk about compact.
My 1995 G20 feels more roomy than the IS. And the IS back seat? Well, let's just say that I wouldn't put anyone bigger than a small child in the back for any extended period of time.
