Moving over from Fresh Alloy. I had a G35C and traded it in for a TL with NAV, 18" Wheels, Nighthawk Black, and Body Kit. I looked at a couple of different cars. Of course the G35 Sedan, and was really close to buying the Audi S4. Could not justify spending the extra 10-15k. Test drove the TL and was impressed. I'm not to fond of the front wheel drive but with the weather in Chicago it will help. I'll post some pictures when I pick it up.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome TL friend!!!!

I spent some serious time over perusing the Fresh Alloy site too and reading about the G35....ultimately, I fell in love with the TL's interior.

I noticed the same thing on the interior. There is no comparison. Vey solid and much more quiet than the coupe.

Welcome to the site. In normal driving you won't notice the front wheel drive.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations! I had a deposit down on a G35 Coupe almost a year ago and backed out of the deal. Beautiful, great driving car, but just not what I needed for the everyday grind. I'm sure you'll enjoy the TL.

I agree. The coupe is too damn noisy and the interior is only blah. Chicago can be brutal and I would have picked the TL too.

Excellent choice!

Congratulations.

I really don't notice the front wheel drive disadvantages. In normal driving the car is much less prone to understeer than my now departed '93 Camry or my '99 Solara, and that's with the less than wonderful standard tires.

You won't regret your choice!
