TL-S or the G...... I'm probably going to say the G37 if you like a more sporty car. The engine response is absolutely awesome!

yes. I am strongly considering trading my NBP TL-S for the G, and wanted to know what you guys would do, if the payments were identical..

I wouldn't. The G is too small for me.

Ohh my bad. I get it now. If the payments were going to be the same, and the G is loaded with the same options as the TL-S, then I'd maybe do it. But keep in mind your TL-S is an amazing car that's already relatively new.

If you're three years into paying for a TL-S, I'd say keep going until the car's yours, rather than starting to pay on another car. Also be very careful of other people's math when you're looking at payments other than price. I've never owned a TL nor a G, but I have had two Hondas and two Nissans. In my experience, the Hondas have been well thought out, well engineered and put together exceptionally well. The Nissans were a little mixed. Some things were done amazingly well, but other areas showed of cost cutting, questionable decisions or things that didn't make sense. That's not to say they were bad (I put 250K miles on one), but there were places where the brilliance stopped and the "what the hell?" began. They might have fixed that with the G, though.

Depends on your priorities. If youre looking for a sportier car (RWD, more power), the G37 is your solution. But the interior isn't as good and you've already been driving and paying for the TL-S for 3 years already, it's not smart financially to continue paying on a new car.

Assuming this car is a DD, I think the TL-S is a better one (more comfortable, better interior), and it can hold its own performance-wise. Add to the fact that you're closer to paying it off, and it just makes more sense to keep the TL-S.

If you're feeling bored with it (which you probably are if you're looking at a new car), buy a new modification for it, or get it detailed, do something to it to make you love it again.

I still think that pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the Type S is the better buy.

I've owned 2 Accord coupes and 2 CLs and now have a G coupe (08) and that statement about sums up my experience too.

Keep the TL.

I'd say unless you can get the G coupe I would stay in the TL-S. Honestly I feel the TL-S has better exterior styling than that G Sedan. Additionally no sense in adding a few years of payments for a car that's nearly identical you'll grow tired of the G just like you did the TL-S.

If you were seriously considering a new car or switching cars I'd get something that is drastically different or you'll grow tired of that car just like you did of the TL-S.

Based on looks alone since I've only been inside a G35 Sedan and test drove a 2005 TL... I'd take the TL-S.

My only gripe with the TL Type S is the fwd/torque steering (that shit could get dangerous with one hand on the wheel.) and the horrible mpg given its performance stats.

Actually, the only thing that prevented me from getting the TL Type S was it's fwd format.

I'd say get the Inf. More fun, faster, classier, and don't have to worry about the TS. However, like someone stated, you'll probably get bored with the Inf, so when its time to upgrade get something that is DRASTICALLY different from either car hehe...Not implying a 911 turbo or anything.
