I have definitely warmed up to the new E class - styling wise; although have not driven one yet. I drove the new BMW 5 series (F10) last night and was NOT impressed. It was the 535i with no sport package and it felt huge (it is the same wheelbase as the 2001 model run 7 series). However, the new idrive is great and the interior is pretty nice. I felt much more at home back in my G sport.

I have driven the current E90 3 series with all motors and I really like those, but the interior is no good. Thus, I have come to the conclusion I will probably fall in love with the new 3 series coming out next year.

I want to go drive the new M...although I will probably think it feels to big...

 

Thanks Bro. I hope I didn't come off as an Infiniti basher, lord knows there an army of those on the other car forums I frequent; I'm just a little frustrated with the direction this company is going when they have so much potential.



If those humps over at Infiniti would wake up and smell the V8 then it would be a great success for their company. And if they do decide to jump into that market, which again I think they desperately need to do, they need to introduce this into the market correctly. No Swoosh Brush. No Paintings. Just Specs, Speed, and Show-Boating, lots and lots of show-boating.

No sport package on the F10 really does make a huge difference to one with it. I 100% agree with everything you said about 3-Series, granted I'd rather the e92, yes the interior does take some getting used to but other than that its THE perfect entry level vehicle.

I’m sure the new 3-Series will be a home run, and that’s when I’ll be making my trek to the BMW dealer, and signing papers. It would take a miracle for Infiniti to keep me as a customer.

 

Infiniti definitely has the best looking wheels.... 20x9's for the M sport, 21x9.5" forged Enkei's for the FX50?
