If u can buy a sedan NEW for 28k, do u really think it's going to have that much re-sale?

Actually you are wrong. Your either lying or you can't read. The 5 star resale value rating for the G35 is based on the sedan. I want to see this deeper investigation crap. Infiniti resale value is horrendous, except for this past year. They are finally starting to come around. I think most can agree as far as these two go we can assume these beliefs.

Exterior look TL

Handling G35
Braking G35
Straight away TL (barely)
Navigation system TL (by a long way here)
Resale G35 (too new to tell for TL yet)
SO if you want the best handling and braking car then get a G35. If you want the best accelerating, and best looking car, along with the best technology get a TL.

1 year does not make a car maker. After Infiniti sells maybe 10-15 years of solid class leading cars, then I will be convinced.

Yeah Niko the infiniti is based on the legendary 350z, of course it has all the same amount of mods.
I like my TL just the way it is. All that money spent on mods will be invested into my next new ride.

Infiniti makes awesome cars! Before my '04 TL, I had a loaded '03 FX45.....it was one heck of car/SUV---radical looks, fast, corners like on "rails," utility, and loaded with cool gadgets like rear-view camera, laser-cruise control, DVD and "smart" key system.....it looked, drove, and handled like no other SUV......it turned heads everywhere I went for over a year that I owned it. If it wasn't for my financial problems, I most likely would have kept it instead of trading it in for a TL. (One big negative is that the FX has absolutely terrible resale value). However, Infiniti is on a roll and they're building cars that are exciting to look and drive. (May go back to a future FX is it's hotter than my previous one )

Are you a complete BOZO??? You just proved yourself wrong. Go back and read the threads. I said all along the Infiniti with a sunroof didn't have more headroom than the TL and what does your website say???? Infiniti is 38.7" for front headroom, same as TL.

CTS owners are probably not serious "car nuts". They probably "like" neat cars, but are not really into them like most people who hang out on forums. On the other hand, the G35 has a lot of serious car nuts as owners. And we as a group have a lot of interest in other neat cars (TL owners can take that as a compliment). That's why we hang out on other forums - not because we can't wait to get out of our G35's as some may think.
My experience as a car nut is that no matter how much I like a car, I'm always looking for what I am going to buy next, and no matter what brand, I'm hoping there will be something even neater than what I have now. So I'm always investigating other brands that have interest to me.

At least they don't sell boring cars. lol
If we compare mods, there are more mods for the GS and IS than the G35. So pick your battles bub.

Ummm more mods for the IS and GS. lol haha I laughed. G35 has alot more mods buddy. ALOT. And the IS has been out longer werd.
Lexus is boring, Lexus IS300 is a nice car, but it just doesn't beat a BMW or even a G35 now.

We won't even go into forced induction, where the VQ hasn't a chance against the 2JZ. I've read about those blown 350Zs, the engine needs to be almost totally rebuilt to get over 450hp.
I agree, the IS is now outmatched by the newer offerings but it was the 1st to beat the 3 in comparos and be taken SERIOUSLY as a 3 alternate.
Remember the G20????
