I feel better in knowing I saved $10k in buying the Infiniti.

These appear to be two PM reports.

I just like the G better - AND I'm glad about the $10k too

The throtle may be sensitive, but I really think 1st gear is 1 tooth too low. The transition from 1st to 2nd is never smooth, no matter how smooth the driver may be (AT of course).
I have driven many cars of many makes and never had to "learn" to throttle properly. They are all pretty linear. Not sure if it's physical (springs?) at the pivot or an actual ECU problem.

i totally know what you mean.. lke driving the car with windows down for a month due to beautiful weather then hitting 100 degree days with AC on full blast... its quite a difference
It's amazing how people always seem to find something to complain about. Good God, just go out there and enjoy the car. Sensitive throttle?! I agree with some of the previous posts. Learn to drive your car!!!
