Exclamation TSX is loved by G35 owners

All,
I am on the G35 board as well, and someone was thinking of alternatives to the G35 (competition wise), and the Audi, Subaru Legacy and TL were mentioned...among others. I brought up that the TSX should also be considered an option, and I thought I would get boo'd off the board, since the power is no where near the G35....HOWEVER everyone said it was a good option, and how much they all liked the TSX. G35 owners? Like the TSX? That's impressive to me...

Just thought I'de let you guys know

Yup, the G35 is pretty well liked around here as well.

Well, except its interior

Good to hear. My friend who just bought the 05 G35c in December says he likes the TSX too.

You can tell them on the G board that we feel the same about their car.

I just sat in one on Saturday and I didn't see and noticeable improvemnets. The interior is still well below the TSX's in materials used and fit and finish. But that extra 80 or 98 HP and RWD or AWD more than makes up for it for some people.

I think the interior is somewhat improved. There are still some horrible ergonomic snafus though - the most noteworthy being the seat controls. Nissan basically imported the car directly from Japan, and didn't bother to change the orientation of many of the controls.

I think many of the G35 people aren't afriad to praise the TSX because they don't feel threatened by the lower hp.

Once they were sworn enemies. However, they looked past their differences and now are freinds. G35 and TSX owners as best friends?

A TSX with the 3.5 VQ from the G35 would be the perfect car.

The VQ35 is harsh and unrefined compared to Acura's 3.2L and 3.5L motors.

uhmm...ok? i wasn't comparing..

what do u mean harsh and unrefined? i don't think VQ35 was really designed to be the quietest engine...it was designed to have performance...

but then..thats just me...everyone has there opinion~ when i drove the VQ35, i loved it..

I love the Nissan V6. That is an engine that really pushes you pack in the seat - moreso than the V6s in the TL and RL.

Have you actually driven a car with a VQ35 engine? If so, you would realize that it is far from harsh and unrefined. The VQ series of 6 cyclinder engines are among the smoothest available.

It may be, but that V6 has an intoxicating exhaust note. That alone would do it for me. Somehow I doubt it's harsh and unrefined. Most auto mags and reviewers have a different opinion. To each his own, I guess.

I do prefer the coupe to the sedan, though.
