We shall see. Personally, I will be checking this car out, even though I am not in the market per say. But with the looks, killer interior, killer quality, and long 70k mile Lexus warranty, I could be swayed. Plus with rear drive, 18's, a six-speed auto, and some 50+ foot pounds more torque than the TL with similar curb weight, this thing could be a real category killer. I'll give Lexus the benefit of the doubt untill I drive it and find out if it is a limp noodle or not.
My point was if someone is going to look at a older design G at this late stage, surely they owe it to themselves to check out the newest competition, which is now the IS350.

Both the G and new IS are smaller than the TL and especially the 300C, so factor that in as well when deciding what you want.

I love cars!
Well, I have to agree with our new G35 owner, I was bowled over with our test drive test. This from a man who was virtually convinced that my 'ooTL would be replaced with a '05 or '06 TL. The engine note, the ready-to-smoke-the tires 280hp and redesgined interior all made quite an impression. I drive the 300C first and it was nice, with plenty of power on tap, but everything was pretty muted: exhause note, road noise, etc. It's more of a cruiser than performer. The G, on the other hand was much livelier, has the cool keyless entry/start, the navi is nice (though the TL wins out here).
3rd, I drove the TL again , and I dunno. Either the G35's power is underrated, or the TL is way overrated, because there's more than a 10hp difference in these auto tranny cars. The TL didn't feel like a slouch, but the G felt ready to spirnt at any moment. I may be a changed man, but the TL's DVD-A, bluetooth, excellent navi, and voice commands are really calling to me. Can they overpower the G35's presence as a driver's car?

I was very familiar with the Nissan Navi since I had it in my Maxima. I thought it was a major step back that it's no longer a touch screen. The TL with the voice commands is a vast improvement. But the biggest difference is that you can use the TL Navi fully when the car is moving.
When I got it, I didn't really give much thought to the BT option. But now that I've upgraded my phone I think it might be the best feature of the car. And while the specs may say the G35 is bigger, I found the TL much more comfortable.
Don't let yourself be seduced by just the power. When I've needed the power, the TL has been more than adequate. 99% of the time people don't even challenge you. My Maxima had that low end torque and I was really afraid I'd miss it, but I don't.

But, after considering everything, I just love the way the car handled. And I drove a demo without the sports-tuned suspension package on it. I can't wait to drive the car with the package on it. I'm heading to the dealer today to take delivery.
I'll post pics when I get the car and when I have the chance.

Is the HP difference only 10? Are they both rated using the same method? If not, then the 3.5 VQ could have 22 - 41 ponies over the TL... and between about 27-37 ft lbs of torque. I forget what the acura torque rating is with the different rating system.

It was NOT a redesign, just a mediocre refresh. And the IS350 will present itself as a SERIOUS contender in the sports sedan arena, mark my words. If it doesn't have enough engine note for you, just slap an intake on and there you go.

First off, I'm glad you like the test drive of the G. That was my exact feeling as well. I was leaning towards getting the TL, but my friend who has a 04 TL and a 05 G35 Sedan (Wife and His) told me to test drive it and that's that.
I'll get the pics up as soon as I can.
Black Ext on Black Int.
Premium Pkg B
Aero Package
Sports-Tuned Suspension Pkg.
Couldn't find one with Navi with the Sports-Tuned Suspension package. Didn't need the Navi, but needed the Sports-Tuned Suspension pkg.

I guess people can then agree to that fact the Acura has not lost any HP they just measure differently... So they really have 255 not 270... The previous comment is not really a good example since acura has always reported HP.
The only point I was making was that aside from maybe gearing as well as a few other factors that can impact various track times.. I believe you would feel a 10-15% difference in HP and torque. I know I do when I go from the G to the TL. I also notice a tad less in gas mileage

We've had the HP rating thread/rant already on the TL so let's just leave it at that. 
They are both great cars and if it's HP you want, there are other ways to get it.

^^Back on topic, was there a noticeable difference between the handling and ride of the demo you drove vs. your car with the sport suspension? The one I test drove had the sport suspension and Navi, I believe.

Are you talking about the G35 demo vs. the G35 with the Sports pkg? Yes there is a difference. It's even tighter on the road. Still doesn't mean the ride is rough, but then again, that's coming from a S2000 owner.
I really believe IMHO the weight balance between the TL and the G35 make the difference. When I pushed the A-Spec-ed demo TL, compared to the REG. Demo G35, I still felt the bodyroll on the TL greater than the G35 and the TL just felt heavier through semi-hard corners..etc. Not that I'm going to be tracking the G or the TL, but I like sprited driving once in a while.

Any 3GTL'rs are gonna be there??? New York would be the first place to get it a try.
"... Drive the all-new, much-heralded 2006 IS 250 and IS 350. Compare the race-bred suspension, high-output engine and refined appointments to its top competitors – all on a tight, autocross-style drive course..."
I really like to feel this car, inside and outside.

I'm already signed up. The wife likrly won't let me pul the trigger on a G45 til around Xmas anyway, so the Lexus event will come first. It's just that Lexus is typically overpriced for what you get.

I am in the same situation, still comtemplating on whether to get the G35 coupe or Tl. I am selling my 2004 G35 sedan this weekend and need to get a replacement soon. I kinda like the G35 coupe exterior more than the Tl but the TL is a notch better. Decisions, decisions... I think I will go test drive both this weekend and see which one i like more.

Yeah, I was trying to convince a good friend to get the TL (she was at the end of her BMW 325 lease) and she basically felt the same way as mentioned above. She ended up with the G35 coupe which looks NIICE. Since you're family is expanding the sedan would make more sense, therefore I'd choose the TL.

Hi all,
Just following up, last Saturday, I flew down to Greensboro, NC and picked up a Blk/Blk 2005 G35 Sedan w/ Sports-Tuned Suspension pkg, Premium B Pkg & Splash Guards. My S2000 is gone although it really felt weird giving it up, and It took over a month to decide, but I'm very happy with the decision.
Mike

I test drove the coupe a few times before but still feel that the coupes and the sedans drive very similar, but have to say that 05's sedans better than my 04. any other g35 owner here switching to TL?

My first word of caution with the G35 is gas mileage: we get ~10-12 MPG in the G35. Highway trips yield 22-24, but this isn't good for a car without all-wheel-drive. I get 30+ MPG on the highway in my TL and ~16 MPG in the city.
The second was that we did the BMW 330i auto-cross event at the Ultimate Drive this year. The BMW was clearly #1, the 2005.5 Audi A4 3.2 quattro was #2, and suprisingly the G35 (fully loaded w/ sport package) was a distant #3. It actually scared us how poorly it performed.
Good luck.

But both are basically the same car so what is the point right.I think if I were to need a sedan, the IS350 looks like the best option but we'll see what Acura and Infiniti offer in the next couple years.

Looks like you were premature in your shot at the IS350, 'course it is hard not to be without even touching one. I suppose you have seen C&D this month:
0-60 5.1
1/4 13.7@104
70-0 167ft
If that is all about the lux where does that leave the G??? With your definition everything short of an M3/S4 is not very sporty...

Don't forget about the C55!
But those times for the IS350 are much more impressive than the IS300.

Thanks. Yeah, I only on the pedal hard when i need to get merge on the freeway or cut in front of ppl. yeah, the IS350 sure looks good but dont know about the price though, its probably out of my price range.
