Forgot to mention ...
8) Gas Mileage. I feel for a car this powerful I am getting awesome gas mileage. Local driving isn't very rewarding. I get no more than 15-16 MPG while driving locally but the Freeway MPG is awesome ... almost 28 MPG. So with my mix of driving 85% Freeway and about 15% local, I am getting an average of about 25 MPG. During the Christmas and New years Holidays I was doing a lot more local driving and was getting an average of 18-19 MPG which was certainly disappointing.

3) Plenty of punch from the 286 HP engine. 20 HP short of the G35 but for some reason I have never have been a fan of the way the Nissans and Infinitis look.
Actually Nissan/Infiniti is still rating horsepower the old fashion way so their 305Hp rating is really closer to 290hp which is close to the TL Type S.

Yea that's one of the reasons why the Lexus IS350 walks all over a G35/G37. Toyota, like Acura, BMW and GM don't cheat on their hp ratings. Acura/Toyota used to and decided to take the high road. IMO, Infiniti is all about putting the biggest HP # on the spec sheet regardless if its accurate or not.

That being said, its still a great car, but just a bit overstated in the HP department.

Jack of all trades and best bang for your buck compared to all other cars in its class. No need to buy "x" package just to get navi, heated seats, etc... Not to mention it looks better than the rest as well.
