Question HELP!! i need to decide

well, it is time for me to buy a new car........ i currently own a lexus gs 300, and i have so many options, and i dont know which one is the best.
My options are:
2003 infiniti g35
2003 acura tl type s
2002 lexus is300
2002 audi a4


So given those options, which vehicle would YOU personaly want, and why. i am leaning more towards the 2003 Infiniti g36 because it is supposed to be and totally awesome car, but we will have to see when it comes out. My seconds choice would be the acura, but again, the 2003 isnt out yet, and wont be out till march so who knows, i am jsut hoping it is as good as the 2002. no to sure about the lexus, seems to sporty for me, i live lixury, quality, and ride. so please tell me what you think, it would be much appreaciated.

Note:

You looking for 2003 TL-S or just premium (TL)?

If you are looking to get the TL-S then I doubt that you will get it anytime soon since (this was mentioned in a few other posts) Acura won't come out with TL and TL-S at the same time when they will release their 2003 model. Some people here predict that the 2003 TL-S will be out 6-9 (or more) months after the 2003 TL

Check my post for details: " Not sure of what to do...."

no offense...but audi clearly is the best of 4 out there...

i love my TL but it is not fair enough to compare with a EURO car in the contest...Why no BMW???

the new A4 is great but they are slower than any of them even with a stick. (3.0 quattro) but A4 would be an excellent choice if u want some serious handling ability...

if u take away the audi, then it would be a better contest....

coz it only has 2 cars left....IS 300 is out first coz it's the slowest of the 3 and i don't like too compact....(it has no leg and head room for front and rear seats)

that leaves u G35 and TL Type S...well...i haven't seen the real G35 yet but i guess it leans to sports more than luxury....

so that the best is Type S...trust me....it is an all around car...combine with luxury, roomy, and powerful

turst me, u can't get a better car with its price...can u find a car with HID lamps under 30k? only TL does...

fully loaded with high quality materials and options...

personally i don't like Nissan cars...they use cheap parts...my friend works at a rubber tube company told me...nissan uses the CHEAPEST parts...they order rubber tubes from his company and they want the cheapest ones...but honda/acura gets a more expensive one....

even my dad doesn't like nissan...(he only buys toyota/honda)

so acura is the best!!!

I selected the Type-S because I couldn't find another new car around 30K with goodies such as 260 HP free-revving engine, a 5-speed automatic trans that does 1/4 mi le under 15 seconds, standard HID, 17 inch rims, Bose, moon roof, heated seats, traction and stability control, quality built..........

thanks for all your help, i agree about the leg and head room in the lexus, and i think that one is out. my friend at my acura dealership tole me that the new tl would be out in march but your probably right alex, the type s wont come out for a while after. ssssssssssssssssoooooooooooo what to do now. i will just have to wait and see what the new g35 looks and drives like, as well as the new tl, and of course, the cadillac CTS, that should be a killer car, totally forgot. i think that the tnry level luxury segments is going to be awesome, and i cant wait for the new arrivals.................and as for the audi, i am just in love with it, the all new a4 is an awesome car, especially in silver on black, bbbuuuut i think it is a tad $$$ for my tastes.lo. thanks guys

If you currently have a GS 300, why are you dropping down to the smaller class car. The GS is nicer than any of the cars you mentioned. Plus the new GS is on its way for 2003.

I'm giving the TLS to the wife and trading the Maxima in on the Infiniti G35. It's going to be a smoker.

It all comes down to what you like best. Good luck.

Correct me if im wrong on this but I thought that the Cadillac CTS was supposed to compete with the BMW 5 series and the Lexus GS430?? Those cars arent in the same class as the G35 and the TL-S.

If you want luxury - get the A4 (good lookin' but sloooow)
If you want performance - get the G35 or TL-S (I would lean more towards the G35 because it's got RWD)
If you are a teenager - get the IS

Out of that list, I would say the G35 or TL-S. Myself, I wouldn't look at an A4 (too VWish). An A6 is another story, though. You don't like Volvo?
But, why not pre-owned? Like a Lexus GS4? Or BMW 540?

i do like the audi, but if you laod it with the options i want it ge4ts a bit pricy, i had thought of a volvo s60, but i dont know, there are just so many choices for entry level luxury sedans, and there are so many on the way (new tl, g35, CTS) i personaly dont like the A6, it kind of funny loking to me, but i love the style of the new a4, i think i will go down and look at it again this weekend. thanks for all your help you guys, it has been great, and i have narrowed it down alot now.
