3G Replacement Ideas
Before I got my '09 TL, I looked at the '08 G35XS, '08 BMW 335i, and a '08Mercedes C350. As far as the BMW and Mercedes, to get the same amount of equipment as on the TL, you have spend at least $50K...so no-go for me. I was very close to getting a '08 G35XS....great value as the TL, but bad service at the dealership ruined it for me.
As far as a Lexus GS350 being an alternative (as some people have mentioned)......a GS350 AWD with NAV, Bluetooth, etc, will run you over $51K!

For me will probably be a G37 Sedan, also briefly looking at a Genesis, but too bad it has the Hyundai name on it. Also like the A4, but it is a little pricey for me.
My 3G lease is up soon, so I've been looking at the standard competition- 4 door beginning lux/sport sedans from BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jaguar, [insert every other auto maker's name here], etc. I am also looking at mid-lux/sport sedans since I can write off part of the (business-related) lease cost so that the $$ are not as restrictive.
Oh, and we have a minivan, so I am also looking at two-door coupes as well...
However, the other choice is to just buy the TL off lease because I haven't found a replacement that makes me yearn for it, yet. I still like the way the TL feels, it has been bulletproof, has reasonably low miles and I know the original owner.
