G35 sedan just castrated us!

The G35 sedan next year will have both the HP and Torque upped to around 280! The coupe will be around 300 each.

I take solice in the fact that the TL looks better, has a nicer interior, and comes with more toys.

PS. Why I hate cops reason #17:
3 lane road 80 km/hr (I'm going 90km/hr) (Crowchild Trail South in Calgary, AB)
Rapid transition to 60 km/hr for an intersection, then back to 80 km/hr
Cop is parked in the 80 km/hr zone and hits me before I even get to the 60 zone
Big ticket for 30 over in a 60 zone
Won't show me the gun because he says he cleared it
Oinkity oink oink

They always made this horsepower. Infiniti marketing just wanted you to believe otherwise. Many '03 and '04 6MT sedans are putting down 233HP RWHP. That is very close to the what 6MT 350Z's and 6MT G35 coupes were posting. The real zinger is that the '05 6MTsedan will put out 298HP. Time for Acura to play catch up again

Actually both Coupe and Sedan 6mt will have 298 hp. Autos 280.

And a slightly nicer interior upgrade. The G35 will have different features than the TL, but the TL doesn't have more. Just different.

Like to know more what you meant. You count items one by one?


TL has all-in-one package, which includes all possible features Acura is willing to offer. If Acura tries to sell their cars as other manufacturers do, TL will have the basic model and tons of options to add up, too.

He probably means that the Acura will come with DVD-A, Bluetooth, and voice command. The G doesn't offer these amenities but offers, MP3 capability, rev-matching (on downshifts) automatic transmission, and easy entry seats and steering wheels (which I believe the TL doesn't offer).

I still like my TL better and it doesn't matter if the Infinity had 500HP...I don't like the looks of the car. HP isn't everything!

Yauser, I think you mean 'emasculated' not 'castrated'.

Question guys (maybe dumb ): Does the TL's HU play MP3 and WMA formats??
