Lovin The Black Detail!!
So pimp!

I like IS's as well but I don't like the size, yes its smaller than a G. and the length of the dash is too long, kind of awkward if that makes sense..

Yes I have driven one and been in the back seat. BUT you really can't knock a IS.....

Before I bought my 07X, I looked at the IS350, IS250AWD, and the BMW 330iX.

The IS350 only has (by my butt dyno in stock trim) better interior. Lexus fit and finish is leagues ahead of Infiniti. HOWEVER, the motor did not impress me and the 250AWD was even worse, the IS interior is far smaller and much more cramped than the G. Trunk space, rear seat space, driver and passenger space.

The G also fits my Graco stroller system in the trunk with room for groceries when I am out and about with my Son. Try that with a Lexus!.

The base BMW 330iX cost almost as much as a fully loaded 07X.

Decision was rather easy me thinks.

Congrats on your IS350. My cousin has one and she adores it. It was one of the cars I looked at before I decided on the G and what didn't do for me was the interior room as well as the price tag with the things I want.

Umm, i've raced many IS350's in my area (live in OC) lots of kids have them and they really are NOT that fast compared to the G. All I have is Intakes and I pull on them every time. NO compitition!

I think the IS is a really good looking car. There are two things about it that I didn't like. First, the interior is really very noticeably smaller than the G. Second, I only see Asian women driving them

I test drove the IS prior to the G and I agree on the room issue. I'm 6'7" and fit in the G pretty comfortably...I actually have to move the seat up!
The IS on the other hand was just too small and the couple inches less of headroom was a deal breaker. The interior was nice though!
Still, the G just begs to be driven hard whereas the IS felt much more isolated. I have never regretted leasing my G35! A fantastic car!
