. No one seems to understand tho, its a smaller car more compared with BMW3 and Lexus IS and Acura TSX for size and handling. I'm thinking about doing a Volvo S80 V8 next after my TL-S, its maybe time for a change.

the G35 New or old its not as large as the TL the I35 which they no longer make was in the same size class

The interior feature blow away any car I have owned, including the Type S. The NAV is better, the Bluetooth is more advanced. I even like the thicker steering wheel. Like I said in my original post. I wish I would have driven the G35 Sport before I bought the TL. I would saved 7K and a lot of aggravation.

i had the same problem too. every time i passed a bump or drive up a driveway, i can hear some noise, but the dealer was willing to change all 4 suspension assemblies for me. Well I ended up changing my suspension to H&R spring and Koni shocks later. so i still have 4 brand new TL factory suspensions.

I guess some people enjoy making up stuff without even looking it up.... The Infiniti is actually slightly larger in cargo space, and only slightly smaller in passenger volume. And if you look at the itemized dimensions, I'm sure you'd agree they are basically equal.
From infiniti.com:
Infiniti G35
Headroom with sunroof 39.1 inches (front)/37.2 inches (rear)
Legroom 43.9 inches (front)/34.7 inches (rear)
Shoulder room 55.6 inches (front)/55.2 inches (rear)
Hip room 55.1 inches (front)/53.7 inches (rear)
Passenger volume with sunroof 96.5 cubic feet
Cargo volume 13.5 cubic feet

Acura TL
Exterior
Length: 189.8 in. Width: 72.2 in.
Height: 56.7 in. Wheel Base: 107.9 in.
Ground Clearance: 5.8 in. Curb Weight: 3559 lbs.
'07 G35 Sedan
Exterior
Length: 187 in. Width: 69.8 in.
Height: 57.2 in. Wheel Base: 112.2 in.
Ground Clearance: 5.3 in. Curb Weight: 3532 lbs.
They look pretty comparable to me. FYI, the weight numbers are for the 6MT versions of each vehicle.
To the OP, good luck with the new G. I'm sorry to hear you experienced so many issues with the TL-S. I, for one, would appreciate a thorough review of the G after you've had some more time with the car. I've never driven it, but I did go the unveiling of the G at my local Infiniti dealer. I was very impressed with the improved finish quality of the car.

I didn't realize that the TL-S was a lot lower and a bit heavier than the 07 G35 sedan?

it's the exact opposite for me, my 04 TSX has been in the shop more than 5 times for warranty related fixes like rattles, 2 recalls, seat railing loose, and cd changer broken, compared to my dad's 04 G35x it only has been in the shop 2 times for the brakes which will be replaced free by Infiniti for the life of the car and the right passenger power seat was defective, which was also free.
i think it's more by chance. ironically, both vehicles the TSX and G35 are Made in Japan. Japan build quality? It's still good, but not like in the past.

Yes that maybe true but, you forget about that huge hump in the rear seat cuz of the RWD/AWD that thing takes up alot of room. they act like that thing is transparent when they give you thoses numbers
