BOTH : G35 and TL is nice ass cars. Advantages of both cars are far superior than its disadvantages. Seems to me that one is fire and other is ice, one is performance and other is look and feel. I think its pointless to argue which is better.

G35 is better looking than many, many, many cars on the road. Acura just seems a little better to my eyes.

TL is better handling than most cars I drove, going off the cliff is a little extreme. Daily performance need is different to everyday life. look and feel is more constant.

To really compare these cars are like apples and oranges. DIfferent people will rank them according to what is more important.

I choose better looking, better interior, FWD with good enough handling to speed through NJ jughandles with confidence......and comfortable winter drives.

my 2 cents

Good observation.

Well put :thumbsup: But the G's butt ugly appearance is a "turn off"

It's funny how you TL guys get so defensive and slag off the G35. Once again the G35 beat the TL in a comparison test http://motortrend.com/roadtests/seda...ans/index.html It must be really disheartening to read how inferior the TL is to other cars out there.

Boltjames, The G35 was first designed as a sedan. Once it was a commercial success the Coupe was put into production. Not the other way around.

The g35 beats the TL in so many ways it's pathetic.

It has better acceleration-.1 equals 6.8 feet ahead at 60

better skid pad (.87) even with it's skinny ass 215 tires- this is because the chassis has better balance. With wider tires the G35 would absolutley trounce the .80 skid pad of the TL.

better turning radius-36' compared to the 39.7 of the TL means you don't have to make three point turns everytime you make a u turn

no torque steer-Means you actually can go down the road in a straight line and you don't have to fight the car coming out of a corner on the throttle.

better brakes- this is the difference between rear ending the fool in front of you. 17 more feet from 60 and 42 more feet from a hundred tells me that the brakes in the TL are inferior.

But hey at least you have that killer stereo and nicer interior to sit in while you wait for the tow truck after you stuff your car in a ditch from the lousy handeling or rear ended the car in front of you from the poor brakes.

Properly setup RWD will easily be better than a FWD in snow. Wonder why alot of BMWs are driven in GERMANY where they haev alot of blizzards? lol they are RWD.

0.1 is negligable on the street...all driver reaction. Even though the G is undertired, the TL has crappy ELs which don't help either. Also, most people won't utilize the RWD nature of the G35 because they live in a place without corners or mountain passes. FWD is more useful for an everyday car in places that snow heavily. Also, the G35 doesn't have bluetooth so when the G35 driver picks up the phone, he'll run into a big fat SUV because the person was too busy picking up the phone! :P

Also, the brakes on the G need to be replaced every 15k and so do the rotors. :D

LOL go read what the 2002-2004 skyline is. It is the G35. Obviously you don't know what your talking about again.

Those miniscule, tiny, worthless little comparison is what makes the TL a better overall car! Those comparisons are very minor! .1 seconds!!! LOL come on now!! The categorys the TL beats the G35 are soooooo much more far scaled. For example the interior is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better, the exterior styling is wayyyyyyyyyy better, Luxury is farrrrrrrrrrrrrr bettter.... I mean, no one stares at a G35 with a :bigeek: on there face....but when people see my TL, they are always staring or pointing.......even had people come up to me to say, DAMN THATS A NICE CAR............on the other hand ,when I see a G, its more like :o BIG FREAKIN DEAL! so for the same price, the TL has wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more to offer, and therefore it is a better car!! :grinfawk:

wont even respond to this, thats just straight out "not knowing what your talking about" :repost:

Bluetooth is a dieing breed. In the technology field, it won't last long. I rather have my headset on than talk on a speaker phone. And personally the G35 has better brakes to prevent you from slamming into someone unlike the TL. RWD is better overall for the whole daily driving experience. Since I liev in Texas, it never snows here in the south. But it rains alot, and so far the RWD has been better in the rain than any of my FWD cars I have ever owned. Truthfully this is my 2nd RWD car and all the rest were FWD.

Brakes on the G do not need to be replaced every 15k. Usually about 20-30k. Depending how hard you drive. It has performance pads, that give it the braking distance it does. A given is that the pads dust alot and they wear out quicker. I rather have that, than slamming into someone.

:repost:

I don't see the need to troll, my post is very objective. To add though as I said the G35 is the better performing car and should be, espcially with a 3.5L engine compared to a 3.2. I almost would have expected more from Nissan out of a 3.5...When buying a car, whichever one YOU think is the better car, IS. This is all that matters.

EDIT: For those of you posting in this thread with G35's, do any Acura TL owners come onto G35 forums to troll? If so I'm sorry from all of us, because I hate when G35 owners come over here to troll.

Dumbest things I have heard in this board so far. I just wonder how G35 "beat" TL?

Ummmm in your opinion its way better, but its not that much better. The quality of the interior is better, but the way its put together is 100x worse than the G35. Shall we go look at the BIG list of interior PROBLEMS the TL is having? lol

Exterior is also subjective. Alot of people like the G35 styling, including me. It doesn't look like every other Accord or Acura on the road. It has its own UNIQUE styling. I get stares at all the time, and people seem to egg me on for a race too alot. My friend which has a 04 TL says he likes my car beter now after owning his for 3 months. Go figure.

Not way more to offer. Another dumb statement.

Because you have no answer.

Excuse me? He proved everything with FACTS. All you have said is a bunch of mumbo jumbo with no facts.

If you can't beat them with fact then throw out a bunch of insults

did you actually read my post or did you just dismiss it with a flipant reply?

EXCUSE. That is all it is. My friend's IS300 has the same stopping ability as the G and he abuses the crap out of that car yet his pads still have over 50% life at 30k. Its bull$hit that the G needs to be replaced so early. Its called design flaw.

You obviously know nothing about performance pads. Maybe you need to go learn some from a track event. Pads can wear out as fast as 1 day on the track. But they give you that extra stopping distance you need.

The IS300 has a better tire and wheel combo which help its braking distance alot as well. The IS300 is a little lighter as well.

So this is no excuse, JUST FACTS that you are so blinded to see.

Stares?? haha...only reason they staring at you is cuz your driving a POS looking car!! Making fun of the "unique" look of your car thats about it! You sure got Unique right!! Looks more like a UFO..."Unidentified FuckingUgly Object"

you sure about that? The back pad in the front caliper is the one you can't see really well and is also the one that wears out first.

Why all the BS? Magazines like MT, C&D, etc rank the G35 over the TL because they are ranking on performance and almost solely perofrmance. That is why it is sometimes in the "10 best" list and such. So G35 won here, woohoo. These magazines have a bias against front wheel drive anyway and are endorsed to promote certain cars. This is why in a most recent motor trend comparison of 6 cyl cars, the Chrysler 300 (non hemi) won! Notice how the best 6cyl cars (BMW, G35, TL) were not included, wonder how much chrysler paid for this? Read unbiased magazines like Consumer reports and websites like Edmonds, Cars.com, and others that rank the overall car, not justperformance. TL wins here. G35 exhaust sounds like a poorly tuned Mustang, TL exhaust sound like a refined luxury car. G35 is a better sport car, Tl is a better luxury car. Once, again, it's all what matters to the buyer. I wish people would quit, both are good cars.

Let me tell you something TL_6SPD, if I wanted a "Performance Oriented" vehicle, I would not buy TL nor G35, I would get S2000.

TL is for everyday driving with comfort and ease. Less road noise and superior sound system without even lifting a finger to take a call. This car was made to serve its owner, and it does swiftly.

my 6mt gives me a little more to boot. More power on instant shifting makes me forget that I have a 4 door sedan.

You have sacrificed all that for a car that looks inferior to the coupe, performance that you can't use everyday, but gives you this ego to talk trash to other car owners about performance, skid pads, braking distance, etc etc....which is all useless to me....it doesn't really make me a superior human being to have those....nice to have them.....but my everyday driving doesn't cosist of such. But remember this.........ONE DAY......i will come across a G35....it might even be you.......and one day I might want to race this sorry excuse for a sports car....and that driver will undoubtly think he is faster....and that challenge my friend is what makes it more feasible.....I don't race people that I know I will win, thats pussy style....I race those that think they are faster and I try to prove them wrong.....thats the fun part of it. When YOU beat a TL....what reward is holding for you? would you be that much proud that you beat a car with more weight and less torque? yeah, you prob will.....because that is what you are doing with all this FACTS.

Your so immature.

Yea both are good cars, but one is ugly!!!!!! (G35 - of course) Who da f$#k likes ugly!! I mean if you like something that looks like :shit: , than I guess thats ur problem... go for it!

Your performance camparo isn't what I was commenting on. I care less. IF these two cars are racing cars, I will agree and throw the white towel....but a car is not ALL on Performance at the track. Its daily drive.

No, acutally I'm pretty mature. My mature decision making is what got me to make this excellent choice in picking a car! :toocool: :grinfawk:

Now your calling your own TL ugly? I don't get you guys

The G35 Sedan has the same amount of roadnoise the TL does. The COUPE is noisier. So again another false statement. Wow your stereo ISN'T that much better than the premium upgrade on the G35 sedan. I have heard both many times and coming from a car that had a 2000 watt stereo system in it, wtih all the whistles, the G35 has better CLARITY, while the TL is missing its mids. The TL SOUNDS worse on CDs and radio, but sounds fine on the rest.

More power on instant shfiting? What are you talking about? You are the one talking trash. We are all trying to correct you with your false statments that are not true.

And truthfully, I already beat a TL 6MT, and it wasn't funny how bad. You can even call the guy if you want since he is my friend.

Please grow up and stop resorting to calling people names. You lost, you have no proof. EOD.

Hello having better brakes and better turning radius and a more balanced car in a panic situation are all real world driving situations. I am not sure which planet you are driving on in which those don't come into play

No acutally you lost!! Your the one with the ugly G35! :nono:

No, since I was giving objective opinion about both cars, Dope thought that for some reason I like the looks of the G35. I have a TL, no further statements your honor.

And your the one with a car that is built worse than a KIA. EOD, enjoy your POS.

No further statements needed. YOu own a TL :D

Built like a KIA!! LOL!! too funny... OH wait your also the one that said RWD is better in the snow! FOrgot, your the one that doesnt know what your talking about.... forget it

wow this thread is getting quite out of hand.

I can't believe I read this entire thread... someone owes me about 10 minutes of my life back!

It is just interesting because it's humorous to see people get so pissed off about this stuff. No one can agree with everyone!

Side note: TL does not have interior issues, people (including me) are just picky bastards! Although, I would rather have an interior issue like a fixable minor rattle than an interior issue like being ugly.

EDIT: I have stated several posts with unbiased opinions on both vehicles, although probably no one has even seen them as they are only looking for things to argue about. Sorry trolls, less fuel for the fire. I am done here. :toocool:

Haha. Most G35 vs. TL threads turn out this way in the long run. Its cause both cars are in reality very equal to each other so comparing them becomes a debate. You don't see too many "well my m3 is better than a TL" thread because EVERYONE here would probably pick the M3 over the TL if they had a free choice of car.
:)

Its not about agreeing or not, its more like the G35 owners are just haters and are jealous that the TL wasnt out when they got there UGLY LOOKING POS! THATS ALL :D :D :D
