Yea, but the 6 can't touch the quality of the TSX.

I'd take an Infiniti G35 over it in a heartbeat for the added $3k

 

[NFS4]

I'd take a G35 6-speed or IS300 5-speed. Why bother with a FWD poser Euro Accord with an Acura markup, when you can have a better RWD compact sedan for the same $$$ or ~ $2,000 more.

Actually, you're both repeating what I said because of my incredible leadership skills, that happens a lot. So you're not actually agreeing, it's just the illusion of an agreement, the world is not coming to an end. 😉

MORRISON: From the driver?s seat, there?s no doubt you?re piloting an Acura. The suspension is tight yet comfortable, and as usual with Acuras, there?s no torque steer whatsoever.

Doesn't torque have to be present in order for there to be torque steer? Rofl!

Sad that a similarily equipped G35 is $35,000. I think you need to learn how to do some basic math.
RWD isn't an option for everybody

HAHHAHAHAHA! 😀

Let's face it. The TSX is at the top of it's game.

ahem
TSX has a couple more options but the G35's 60HP lead and 100 lb-ft more torque at peak more than make up for that. Add another 3200 to get the premium package and everything is equal

 

[GTaudiophile]

I'd easily take a IS300 or G35 over that 4-banger.

actually, it's caused by an engineering failure.

pwnt.

$32,845 is MSRP on a 4dr. sorry 35k was for 2dr
If you want to deal with infiniti customer service, I welcome you to.
No dobut the G35 is a beautiful car, a step above the competition. To compare it to a small sporty car like the A4, 3-series, or TSX is a little unfair.
15.2 compared to 15.5.. if anything we should look at 0-60 and quarter miles
It's simple logic that 200hp in a 2000 lb car isnt the same as 200 hp in a 5000 pound car. The fact of the matter is the TSX is at the top of it's game for small sporty sedans in FWD.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
MSRP on a 2dr coupe w/ leather is $34,995

WTF are you talking about? Why are you comparing a 2-door to a 4-door TSX?

A G35 S-E-D-A-N is roughly $29,400 with 6-speed manual, leather, sport package, and 17" wheels.

 

[SuperTool]

TSX has 20 ft turining diameter? Is that correct? Sounds a bit low.

yup, i corrected the numbers for the sedan.

 

[rubenswm]

I love the IS300
But it's nowhere near as refined as the TSX.
