Before my 07 G35x, I had an 02 Mazda Protege5 and an 07 Porsche Cayman. And got rid of both for the G. With the Denver winters, the Cayman remained garaged for most of it. Clearly the G was a vast upgrade from my Mazda winter driver (and kids car). And while I have to say that the G is a significant downgrade from the Cayman, I am not that disappointed about have to get rid of the Cayman.
As for your Touareg, I would have bought the V10 diesel a few years ago if it was available in California. The Touareg is a great vehicle but so is the G and I wouldn't look at it as an upgrade or downgrade, since they are completely different vehicles. If you were comparing the Touareg to an FX, that's a different story.

This past year I had an 04 BMW M3, then a 330 ci. I feel his is a upgrade from both of those. Even though the M was insanely powerful, this car is not far behind, but far more a pleasure to drive. The M was stiff, and harsh, which is great from time to time, but became tiresome. I went to the 330ci for better ride quality, also an awesome car, but I wanted to get away from the coupe.

My 99 Lincoln Cont (95K) was running decent until the tranny blew coming home from the Jersey shore about a mile from my house. Cost me $1500 (not bad including tow). After that I started looking and then when I found out I was eligible for the VPP via my lovely wife, I called my local dealer. All they had was AWD and I wanted a Journey. Screw the weather and snow. He found me a Pearl White Sport with Premium and I can not get the smile off my face.

And all of these BMW owners really need to get off their high horses as well. The new G35 is better then the BMW 330i and is comparable to the 335i in every way possible. I would hardly say purchasing a G35 is a downgrade.
Anyhow, I came from a 2005 G35 coupe. It had everything I wanted actually but due to unfortunate events, it was recently totaled in an accident. I picked up the 2007 G35x (fully loaded) and couldn't be happier. It has more toys and class then my previous G, and she's faster too. I have been a big fan of Infiniti ever since my Dad picked up the M35x in 2005. I think the new G took a lot from the M to be honest, and I'm glad.
The car to look out for is the new G37 and the twin turbo version coming out after that (500hp). This car will school an M3 and will be more of an apples to apples comparison anyhow.

Summer of 2006(Its a crappy pic and the blue doesnt show up well)
I just sold the car a couple months ago to get out of my $650 a month payment. That, plus maintenance was a nightmare.
