Has anyone gone from a Lexus/Bmw or Benz to the Infiniti?

The interior isn't ugly, just plain, but it sure isn't as refined as most of the other luxury brands (Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes.) Have you seen the interior of the C class? What would make it look nicer is having a navi system/infotainment screen standard like the Infinitis. In fact, the interior is very similar to Acura TSX without the Nav system- just lots of buttons and *****. The sound system on a base 3-series BMW is a joke. The red dot matrix display makes it feel outdated in the center console.
BMW definitely handles very well though.

Although I do feel things like the NAV should be standard I dont mind not having it... The stereo is so so but I wouldnt say its worse than my 06 G's 6 speaker stereo. ( V36's got a better system ).
I have the US's base 3 series system ( UK gets a worse 6 speaker setup ) but the US models base stereo is a 10 speaker setup with rear components and front 3 way components. Front gets tweets, 4" doors + 8" under seat mids plus rear components.. Not the loudest but the sound quality is far from bad..
Hey I never said the BMW isnt plain and isnt pricey for what you get ( value ) but the main reason I bought it was for driving and it does that well.
My G35 drove great as well and ill never knock that car it served me well.
Ugly shifter? you do know the G35s prime target what is goes after is the 3 series right?
Cup holders? Please tell me your not buying a sports sedan because of the cup holders??

They also went after the 3 series's seats.. new G's seats w/thigh extensions like the BMW's , Gas pedal now attached to the floor etc
but I dont think thats a bad thing, the G's biggest competitor is the 3 its what they aim for
Infiniti is a more sporting luxury than say Lexus it guns for BMW while Lexus guns more for MB.
BMW in 1989
BMW in 2009
G35 in 05
G37 in 09
Theres many design elements you can see taken, tweaked..

Im not biased to BMW or Infiniti and I dont think either are " gay as you call it " They are both great "drivers" automobiles.
Hell my sentra runs circles around my G and my BMW
