After much research and some shifting of funds to get the scratch together to make a cash purchase we finally got our Slate Blue w/ Stone Leather G35Journey w/ Sunroof & 18" wheel pack. I thoroughly researched everything comparable, and we just kept coming back to the G The TL was very nice but in no way is the performance car that the G is. The IS 350 was the closest car IMO, the back seat is way too tight for anyone over 15 on long trips and I didn't want to lose any friends due to this purchase, LOL. It's also about 3G more for similar features, as much as I like the "class" of the IS interior, the G just felt right for a sport sedan~a bit more understated, but I really like it. The BMW 335 would be great if I hit the lottery, but feature for feature the G wins hands down for the price. Just can't take my eyes off the car, and it's just too easy to think of the slightest excuses to go for a drive~good thing I've got a stack of gas cards, lol.
Thanks for providing a great G35 forum, and I'm thrilled to be part of such a group of auto enthusiasts!

 

great write up.....glad to see you are enjoying your G. It really is a great 4 door sports sedan

 

I looked at the same cars as you did and pretty much came to the same conclusions. Bought my G35x on the weekend and pick it up this week.

 

The G is the best balance - and better looking IMO.
Congrats! And let us know when you pick yours up, Nick!!

 

Congrats man, and welcome to the forum. The G sure is a hard car to beat for the price when compared to its competitors. Great choice.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome & congrats on your upcoming purchase Nick
BTW, going to Vegas (a 1500 mile round trip) next week. Even if I lose I know I'm going home a winner w/ this sweet ride
