Replaced my TL with...

Picked it up on Monday; it's an 03 6-speed with 56 KMi on it. Quite an aggressive animal, and it sounds accordingly. The TL interior makes more sense, in my opinion, but I'll get used to it. Overall, very happy with it.

My 6 speed will take your 6 speed


Nice ride. I like the G, just never like the interior.

We nearly got duped into buying one of those beasts, but turns out Acura which was down the road from Infiniti persuaded us to fancy practicality over performance. Infiniti offered little room for bargaining while Acura was more prompt and courteuos to our demands. All in all we are very happy with our 06 AT non-navi purchase. However, at very isolated times I miss the rear wheel performance. Enjoy your astonishing VQ engine!

congrats on the new ride... I think alot of tl owners had this car on their list as did I, but the interior wasnt my taste (kinda small). The new 07's are nice I get to see one all the time now that my girl got it. I still think the interior is smaller then the TL but the RWD makes up for it lol

After all the research I've done on it, I could not find any issues with the G. However, there's somewhat of an issue with the TL transmission, as you may know.

Love the RWD, hate the interior. Don't be surprised if your headliner falls down...
