That's cool...

One thing I didn't realize is that the G35 would fall into the 23k-30k categroy....

Also, does anyone know what came in 2nd, 3rd, etc??? I'm curious what "We" were up against... (Although I can surmise...)

 

Yeah, the G35 is listed as 30500-33000 MSRP, strange

 

It's interesting that the TL they chose for comparisons does not have the Navi system. Not a particularly enlightening analysis. But then it's a financial newsletter, not much of a car reviewer. Maybe they take resale value into account.

 

Morning guys... great post.. just went to the site. There is a button to find out who the TL's competiton after you click on the TL name in the winners list. Show about 7 other cars in the list.

TL42 - Gord

 

From the MSN article: "Scoring for each class is based on value, performance, safety, resale value and a number of other criteria."

But how do you know Kiplinger's evaluated a non-navi TL? The links in the story just send you to the MSN model research page....no mention of the specifics of the "winners" or their competition.

As for the G35, good luck finding one on a lot for under $30K. Kind of like how BMW says the 3-series starts around $28K...

 

I don't know where that author got some his prices either, but the bottom end BMW 3 series starts at just under $30K:

Thats one way to end the G35/TL argument...both are best in their respective classes

 

Good find! Well, at least one of my cars made it. Not surprised the LS430 won out over the RL since it is considerably more expensive, but it sure was nice to click on "competition" and see the RL in there. Great consumer reviews as well. Acura is on a roll!

BTW, as a former '04 TL owner, the TL definitely deserves to be there. Can't think of another car in that category that comes close.

 

What a copout! They put the Infiniti in a different class to avoid comparing it with the TL. No one gets a G35 for under 30K.

 

LOL! I have to agree, because I've never seen a comprably equipped G35 for less than a TL.

And in the 20ies? Not in this lifetime.

 

When I was looking at G35 vs. TL the sticker price on the G35 was higher!

 

Great post Points for you!

 

when I went to compare vehicles off the site their TL was the non-navi model & price-- it listed navi as an option for the G35 & n/a for the TL.
