In a few yrs would you sell ur Tsx for G35 coupe?

I'm still contemplating it, everytime I see a G35 coupe on the road I'm like I want one, but I just bought a Tsx. I wish I had money to afford both at the same time, but it's not possible. If you were in my position, like probably a yr from now, would you sell or trade in your Tsx for a new G35 coupe?

No.

I don't want a coupe (been driving an Integra 2dr). I don't want RWD. I don't want Infiniti.

I could buy a TL now - $$ is not the reason

In a few years who knows what the TSX and G35 will look like. Tough to say right now, but as it stands I plan to keep my TSX for at least 5 years.

Some of you really need to get out of the consumer mindset before you're middle-aged and racked with debt. You drive a new luxury sedan... why the hell are you already wanting to spend more money on another one?

Was that respone aimed at me? I said I would keep my TSX for at least 5 years .. so whats wrong with that? I'll also have you know my car was paid for in cash.

I looked at the G35 and it just wasnt worth the extra $100 a month it would be to lease it right now and I dont like the interior all that much...

We'll see what they look like in 4 years when my lease is up..

I am still debating whether to trade in my TSX for a G35 or keep it. I was planning on selling my TSX this summer, but the prob is that I wouldn't get a fair price for the trade if I traded it in. So for now I will keep my car.

I thought this thread was going to be about the equivalance of the worth of the two cars in a few years. It depends, but I don't think the G35c will depreciate that much faster than the TSX to have them be worth the same for quite a while.
Considering the G35c was available at the time everyone bought their TSX one wonders if this is buyers remorse.
Two totally different cars.

A TSX turbo? Maybe. An M5? Maybe. An M5 Touring, if BMW imports 'em? Very definite maybe! A Lexus IS430, if Toyota ever builds, 'em? Maybe. A G35? No.

I'm assuming the people responding have test drived the G35. Nice handling car but the seats were tighter than the TSX. Did not feel comfortable at all.

I cross shopped the G35 and decided against it. Too big, too bulky, didn't like the interior, too expensive with comparable features, less fuel efficient. Why would I want to trade now?

What position is that, buyer's remorse??

a little bit, but i was contemplating it. i like the 350z and G35c, but maybe i'll keep the Tsx, cause its a fuel efficient 4 cyl sports sedan. but, after the Tsx is prob paid up, i'll buy a used G35 coupe by then.

Well 04EuroAccordTsx, whatever your preference may be, it's YOUR preference. As for me, I wouldn't trade my TSX for the G35 nor the 350z coupe. More than just the appeal, put in perspective the insurance rate, (especially in NJ), the thought alone makes me cringe.

If fuel efficiency and insurance cost were the same, and they changed the interior (as is rumored on the G35 forum) I would do it in a heart beat.

Seeing that this is not going to happen, I doubt I would spend the extra money.

That's exactly the reason why I didn't buy a G35, however I get to drive one whenever I want because my fiancee decided to buy it instead!

I could have bought a G35 coupe if I wanted one but the sedan was going to be much more practical. Then I drove the sedan and thought it was ugly (inside and out) and decided that I should try the new TL instead. I tried the new TL and loved it but I thought the TSX was more sporty and cheaper to boot so I went with the TSX.

G35 is a sure sweet car but I wouldn't consider selling the TSX and buying one. Anyway, next year someone else will put out yet another great product that will make you want to rush out and test drive/buy it. Enjoy what you have.

When you guys said that the interior was ugly, did u mean the orange lightening of the gauges? That is the only thing I wouldn't like in the G35 coupe. If it was blue/white color like in the Tsx, the G35 coupe would be perfect. I'll just wait and see, I'll enjoy the Tsx now. Is that rumor true that Nissan will revise the interior of the G35 coupe/sedan? That would be great to see how much better it will look inside.

G35 coupe doesn't meet my criteria, including FWD and a back seat big enough for my 6' sons.

Besides, I my TSX!

No. The Infinity G35 is simply NOT WORTH the extra money. Load it with the goodies our car has and you are close to 40K.

To me the G35 interior is Fugly... The dashboard looks ridiculous. The are some square, rectangle, round and oval buttons of every shape and size... The G35 does not have a CLEAN dashboard. The TSX interior is so much nicer...

Also, the seat adjustment buttons are not located at their usual place... I hust have a problem with the interior...

On the other hand, the coupe exterior is beautiful (IMO)...

The day Infiniti gets their interior right, I will sell my TSX and get a G35C...
