Look where the G is listed and compare it to the cars with a smaller turning radius.
I have to say, I'm impressed by the numbers. All I know though is in my IS300, I could do a u-turn on the street I live on, but with the G, I have to do a y-turn
.
Still, in that list, the G is damn impressive. Of the cars with a smaller turning radius, only one is remotely in the G's size range and that's the GS 460 with 34.1 (how the f**k did they manage that with the GS? I'm impressed).
Edit: I checked the Lexus web site, the GS 460 is 36.4 so the site has a typo

You beat me to it. I took too long to write my response.
I find the turning radius on this car to be awesome. Ive made numerous complete turns on streets that i would have to do a 3 point turn on before. The G just whips right around.
I agree w/ Chris G35. Try a Honda or Acura. I came from a TSX which had a 40 ft turning radius. Pretty f'ing lame for a relatively small 4 door. The TSX's turning radius was actually worse than a TL! My G35 feels super small in comparison at around 36'.
The best turning radius car I've ever had was a 240SX. It had a 29' turning radius which was even better than the Prelude w/ 4 wheel steering which also had a ridiculously small 30' turning radius.

MY 6MT has the tightest turning radius in its class.: 35.4'. FWD cars like the Acura or Passat are as high as 39.1'. I believe, though I may be slightly off, the BMW is 36' Turning radius was a decisive factor in my decision to purchase the G35S. True, the Journey and X models are not as tight as the Sport. But plenty tight, especially given the length of the G.

Turning radius on my coupe sucks.. my FWD 91 acura legend had a tighter turning radius, along with my bros SL 500(best turning radius EVER).. Even my friends 99 maxima had a tighter turning radius than my G
