I know you are saying "Why Are You On this Site", but i been reading this site everyday since Late September, I Was interested in The G37, and when it didnt come out, I started lookin at the TL, and was one of the few at first who actually thought the car looked nice, I test drove the base tl and liked it, then while waiting for the AWD TL, which still isnt for sale here, only for Test Drive, I Really Didnt notice much difference, so when the G37 arrived, I decided to jump on it, HEY, some people like vanilla and some Chocolate, you all have to admit the looks are better, and i think the performance is better, and I just wanted to share because I took exception to being called a light to light idiot, I like speed and the G wins over the TL, and I cannot wait to be at the light with a TL SH AWD next to me, hopefully he is an idiot like me, and we will see what happens, PLUS (and I know I am Rambling on here) but I am one of many who beleive and after owning a 2003 Maxima, a 2005 Altima SER, a 2005 G35, and now a 2009 G37, I believe that Nissan underestimates their PONIES

The last time I checked most people don't go to work on a track, so I'll take my chances taking off on a straight line, and the little I may have to slow down around curves (even though I never felt the need to, the G holds its own), still isnt enough for the TL to catch up. This is my 2nd Gx, the only reason I even thought about a TL, was because of all th hype, as I said in my other posts, I test drove both TL's base and awd, felt no difference in speed between the 2, and the handling and ride in the sh awd wasn't enough to impress me, so when I am driving past the test track that sound you will hear will just be my horn saying Hi to you as I go Whizzing by

My friend, you are highly misinformed. A G35 first needs to be capable of outperforming a TL-S on a track before it can out handle a TL SH-AWD. I don't see how the ride and handling of the TL SH-AWD didn't impress you when it rides smoother than a G35 and handles better, yet the G35 ride and handling did impress you. Compared to the new TL, the G35 still has more of a boy-racer image. It has a rough-ride, a course engine, inferior interior material and build-quality, and track performance that is mid-pack. Sure, it has great straight-line acceleration, but so does a Mustang GT. My grandma can go fast in a straight line also. Would you rather have a Dodge Challenger SRT8 that can go 0-60 in 4.8 seconds or a BMW 335i that does it in 5.0?

Most of use do stoplight drags, and highway drags, and occasional drag strip races. And when we dyno it about how much power ur putting down. Good Try though
