How does the interior compare? Sheesh, everyone jumping ship makes me want to do the same thing! So tempting, but I don't want anymore payments..

G37 Pros: Interior, Front end, tail lights

G37 Cons: Ugly rear end (except tail lights), doesn't perform as well as a BMW

I've decided that the only way I'll abandon my Acura is for a BMW that can blow it away. Even then, I would have to convince myself that the BMW won't be in the repair shop all the time.

There is a little less storage--center console smaller, doesnt have the extra tray. the use of the navigation is awesome except limited push button comands when driving for safety. The audio screens are amazing as well as the sound quality. the seats are very comfortable but with the sports seats they are a little tight but are fully adjustable with a slide out section for lower legs.

Infiniti has an awesome lease going on right now, its .0012% apr. I went down $100 a month in payments(probably helps since I work for nissan)

+1. I often my miss my 07 G35 coupe 6MT, which I traded in for an 08 TL-S 5AT. The G was very fun to drive, but the ride was too harsh for a daily driver, and the seats were very uncomfortable. If I could have afforded to keep it as a weekend car, I would've.

Nice, the G37-S looks pretty aggressive. I was never really a fan of Nissan/Infiniti cars. Keep up the mods, and I'm happy that you are still around the Acura Forums even though you went to Infiniti, hahah.

you may have convinced me to make the move to the infiniti or as my aunt pronounces it in fin ata . It's not that big of a move, lots of people get the acura's logo mixed up with infiniti's logo and vice versa.

I believe it's because we value style. I think the design of the TL says a lot about how an owner appreciates sharp lines and function.

Congrats to the OP! I just came from an 2007 FX45. Loved it, only wish it came in MT. Infiniti definitely has the niche on design, beautiful vehicles, all of them.

I have one word, opinions. You can say Infiniti stepped it up, but I say, you get what you paid for.

The Infiniti G cost more. Therefore, you get more, its pretty logical...

I say Acura cars are more of the bang for the buck cars; you pay a pretty good price for all the luxury you need while saving money on the stuff you don't need.

In terms of performance, I will give it to you, which Infiniti has it down, but I believe Infiniti's selling point is power. Call me bias towards German Luxury, but if I were to pay over 43K OTD for a car, it would not be an Infiniti. I'll look for a Mercedes Benz or BMW.

Reliability on Mercedes and BMW is poor and resale after they are out of warranty or have had a makeover on the same line goes out the door. You can find $40-50k SL55s 4 years out and they went for $100k new. BMW335i in the same year as a TL-S cost the same used but there was a 10k difference when new loaded. After the warranty is up, the 335 is cheaper

43k$ OTD for a underpowered German Car or it will be less equipped.
give me a loaded 335i for 43k OTD
or a loaded C350 for 43k OTD

Lets not start with the leasing options on these cars

Infiniti is a great bang for the buck

I could have chosen a BMW or Mercedes but to get with the options and power i wanted
the price would have been way more. My lease is $400 a month so it was hard to beat with no $ down!
