CL-S has new competition

The G35 directly competes with the TL-S. So I think a G35 coupe will compete with the CL-S, since the 350Z doesn't. I know the Infiniti's are RWD and the Acuras are FWD, but Honda does make some of the best FWD handling cars.

Which car do you guys think will handle, brake, drive, and accelerate better?

Here is a picture of the car's inside.


Notice the hand brake instead of the foot pedal break. And notice the small label on the steering wheel.

The G35 for SHOULD. It's RWD so that will help but i guess you won't know until people start to drive it.

That and the fact that the Z is 2 seater. The Z is closer to the S2000 and maybe the NSX.

Wouldn't really care if the G35 outperforms our CL-S

It's ugly inside and out!

I vote Infinity

E. All of the Above

heh

Now if you would have said looks. CLS and TLS all the way.

I wish everyone would stop comparing FWD to RWD they have totally differnet handling characteristics. You really you can't fairly compare the two. Each has it's own benefits. Some to the sport side, some to the daily driver side.

I'm still waiting to see a 50/50 weight distribution on a FWD car.

It's easy, just add 916 lbs of weight in the trunk of a CL-S
