What car did you come FROM? Upgrade / Downgrade?

Going from a 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK430 to a 2007 G35x w/ nav, tech, and premium...my Benz was beat up (3 warped wheels, worn tires, rusting rear quarter panel, dash acting up, shaking during idle, reverse gear noise, etc.), so I guess it's an upgrade even though the CLK cost me about 18 grand more when I bought it new...

My Vehicle History
I came to the G from a 1999 F-150 - This is certainly a huge step up even though it is a very different kind of vehicle.
Before the F-150 I had a 2000 Toyota Celica and actually had to enter arbitration and force the dealer to buy it back as a lemon - That was my first experience buying a brand new car, so here's hoping for a much better second time around!
Before the Celica I had a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am and a 1979 Mustang Turbo
As you can see, the G is an entirely new class of car for me...

i just got a G35X -- what a nice car...
i came from a 02 wrx wagon. after the wrx, i couldn't give up having a fast car with awd. the scooby was fun, a little raw and a little wild. the turbo lent an interesting powerband.
my heart melted after test driving the G. i love the torque throughout the rpm range. and the car is so quiet and composed feeling! i really have to pay attention otherwise i end up inadvertantly flying down every road. i thinkg the handling is fine - very responsive but just not as raw feeling which is part of the luxeriousness.
i realized i'm getting older - the concept of a luxery sporting car was more appealing than flat out speed such as a scooby wrx sti.
prior to the 02 wrx wagon, i had a 97 subaru outback sport and an 85 subaru gl wagon. i'm still getting used to only having a trunk...which feels very weird...but all the gadgets are really cool - when i had a passenger at night, i kept turn the steering wheel and go, "look at the lights turning!"
