i really don't think the IS is overvalued. I sat in all three cars this week, while going out to lunch with my co-workers. The IS interior definitely feels more 'plush' inside. The leather is better, and the wood accents is real nice. You add in the better navi, backup camera, ventilated seats, push button start. Also, the acceleration is super smooth when compared to the g35 sedan, and TL. I will rather have a IS. Too bad these cars cost 35k 🙁

You can get the TL under $35k OTD.

With Navi the average price out of the door was 32.5 when I bought mine. I got A-Spec for 35.5.

I ended up with a G35, so that's my answer.

IMO it's the best bang for your buck. My local dealer actually worked with me, and from what I've heard other dealers do so as well. I ended up with a premium package for base price and they gave me three years of maintenance for good measure.

My parents are die hard Lexus/Toyota fans and I came from a Honda, but I have since then converted to Nissan/Infiniti.

I don?t know how it handles in the snow, but in Florida we get a lot of rain. The traction control on the car is extremely intelligent. You won?t loose control even if you tried, so it?s saved my life a couple of times. Turn it off and the fun begins.

Speed wise, you gotta love the VQ. Not only does it sound great, but it can hold it?s own with the majority of the cars you see on the road.

In conclusion the G35 ranks up there as far as performance and comfort, but cost less than the others in the group.

If traction control has 'saved your life a couple of times' you need to fix your driving skills.
