Ahhh one of the power hungry moderators from maxima.org here. lol This has nothing to do with the conversation at hand. I could own more cars if I wanted too. So what!

That scenario is possible for some of us. However, there are others such as myself, for whom this may be the finest car we ever own. When you live on a teacher's salary and have two college-bound boys (at age 51) plus all the usual 'real-life' expenses (mortgage, utilities, groceries, etc.) that some of our younger cult-members may not have been privileged to experience yet....you find quickly that this automobile IS the pinnacle and not a stepping stone to a more expensive toy.
This whole thing is very simple....whether you chose a G, a TL, an ES330, a CTS, an X-type, an S60R.....or a Kia Sephia....just enjoy the drive and quit worrying about whether someone else's car is "better". Every one of these cars has strong points and weak points....the fact that we, as individuals, "like" something.....DOESN'T automatically make it a "better" product....it simply means we had an opinion and a certain bias to our "taste". So....put down the keyboard, pick up the keys....and go for a drive and enjoy the toy!

"Just to give everyone here some perspective, you are arguing/discussing this with SilverBulletCLS, who has the following car purchasing history:

...

Countdown to 12) 2005 Acura TL 6 spd: < 7 months"

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Classic post!

bill99gxe

No, just trying to alert the TL brethren that you are a waste of everyone's time, instead of a contributor.



I guess I could go to the CL-S forums and dig up the posts where you dog Maximas and praise the superiority of the CL, but that would make you look bad........




I reiterate my contention you will have A TL very soon and will defend it until it's time to trade again in 6 more months.

Your comment about the interior makes no sense. It seems many people correlate the "cheap appearance" with actual quality. My G35 has 24,000 miles on it and it looks brand new.

BTW, you are NOW arguing with someone who has owned 47 vehicles, of those, 4 were Hondas, 2 Acuras, 4 were Nissans, 2 were Infinitis.

JackSprat01

Owning 47 cars probably isn't the best way of conveying your expertise...or intelligence. Pick up a copy of Quicken some day, you'll see what I mean. Also, people have the right to equate interior with quality. I have to admit, the first time I drove a G35 the first thing I thought was 'Altima.' Besides, of course anyone that owns a Chevy is going to thing a Nissan interior is awesome.

bill99gxe

I'm not arguing......



Wow, you have owned 47 vehicles. So now I should change my stated opinion as a result of your experience since I've only owned and needed 3 vehicles in my 14 years of driving?



I wish Russ would be a man and argue in a principled fashion rather than begging others to do it for him. It's a classic pattern he follows in most forum boards he frequents.

DOES Silverbullet use other names to pretend he's two individual too?



man EVERYONE has SOME TYPE of history to make them who they are.

That is a classic post! Talk about wishy washy...

SilverBulletCLS

Wow so I own eveyone with facts, but then you start the insults and name calling basically. Childs play I tell ya.

SilverBulletCLS

Dream on kid. Ask the moderators to check IPs if you wish.

And are you so pissed that the other children do not play with you?

DUDE SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT......YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LOSER I MET TO DATE ON THIS FORUM.

SilverBulletCLS

Why would I be pissed? This is just funny seeing all these dumb replies you guys do. The other forums are much more mature and level headed. Even BMW gives the G35 props and never downs it. That is actually where the comp is the BMW, IS300, Mercedes, etc. The TL is not in the league of the G35....

SilverBulletCLS

Wow, getting owned, now name calling. lol

(....dude.....you are the one that just got owned .....and if this forum is too "immature" for you, then go right ahead and leave....ain't no one gonna miss you. LOL....)

silverbishop

You are the one who insists on hunging out here and irritating all of us. If we are not in your car's league, do not bother with us. Obviously we cannot reach the heights of your knowledge, so just leave us in our ignorance...

SilverBulletCLS

Oh yea how did I get owned? Please prove it since you have yet to prove anything. lol

SilverBulletCLS

Then stop posting topics related to the car then. lol

PetesTL

.......Please Mr. Nissan salesman, shouldn't you be back at work?......we could care less about your frickin G35......we already have our TL's and are enjoying it......leave us alone, fool! :thefinger (Just what is infatuation with our forum?..........I knew it!..... he is a closet TL-Lover!)

Thomwarn

Silverbullet- I was in on this conversation yesterday, and it seems I haven't yet made my point......With a G35 you still have a NISSAN!!!!!!!!! enough said!!!!!!!!

PetesTL

Getting back to the original thread (which seems 'eons' ago), I've recently read in a magazine that the G35x AWD weighs in at a portly 4500+lbs!!!! .............(My previous Infiniti FX45 SUV weighed that much!!) The TL weighs around 3300-3500 lbs in comparison.

PetesTL

Let's see........4509 lbs (gross weight of G35x), same 260 hp.......gotta love that traction 'cause it won't haul shit!

1SICKLEX

That had to be a misprint. AWD usually adds 300-400 lbs, not 1,000.

The problem with the "better" car is really helped by people reading magazine articles. So everyone considers themselves an expert. Since the G35 has mopped the TL in every comparison, it is considered the better car at this point. Both have pros and cons, and those confident in their purchase won't worry about what people say.

Not to mention, it's not like people actually drive these cars like they do in magazines. To MOST people, it's their first entry level luxury car and they treat it as such, with care.

PetesTL

..........Yep, you're right ......the Infiniti website lists the curb weight at 3677 lbs. The '4509' figure I got out of the Chicago Tribune's recent review of the G35x.........I knew something didn't sound right.

PetesTL

...wondering, .......if Acura offers a AWD version of the TL that weighs 300-400lbs more than the FWD version but with the same hp.....will you be willing to trade the performance penalty for increased traction? .........for me, I wouldn't.....FWD with snow tires is more than adequate for any urban environment in wintertime.

Dkrudop

Well he's right about the TL not being in the same league as the G.....TL quite handily outclasses it in luxury and smoothness.

SilverBulletCLS

You still have a Honda.

SilverBulletCLS

It weighs only 300 lb more than the normal G35. The normal one weighs in at 3385, so 3685.

SilverBulletCLS

Whatever. lol

kodie1

I test drove both,, seems to come down to personal taste. Could have left the Infiniti dealer with a lower payment on awd G but it all came down to the interior, there is just no comparing the plastic universe Nissan has developed to the TL. If performance was all you were concered about then a STI should have been the choice.... :devil:

jjsC5

I never claimed my number of vehicles owned made my opinion any more correct than anyone elses. That statement was made in response to the post pointing out what the other G35 owner has owned (SilverBullet I think - as if his opinion didn't count). I sincerely apologize if you think I was trying to imply my opinion was more important than yours.

Why you posted the link to my profile, I have no clue. In fact, I had to look at it myself to see if there was something of significance in there (there's not). Maybe you should check out the Corvetteforum.com and print a link to my profile there as well.

I also have no clue what your last sentence above is supposed to mean. I'd love an explanation.

apwalsh

That was his point... Nissan = Honda
as
Infiniti = Acura

6 in one, half a cheap interior in the other.

GaleForce

I'd rather have a Honda with a nice interior than a Nissan with a shitty "plastic world."

bill99gxe

Your statements clearly implicated that your opinion was more informed due to your owning 47 vehicles, thereby making my opinion ancillary. Seemed simple to infer.


Russ has the unfortunate habit of getting people on other car forums to come help defend him when he has nothing intelligent or substantive to state when he digs his own grave with stupidass comments such as the TL not being in the same class as the G35 when anyone with an ounce of sense knows otherwise. He usually brings in much more respected and upstart members to save his rear end and make himself look better to other members.


The link of your profile was not an invitation for slander, just an illustration of how he pulls people in from other boards to help defend his position, whatever it may be that day. The link was to let people know that he gets others to come in and try to add some sort of legitimacy to his often weak arguments.


First, the Maxima was God's gift to automobiles, then the CL AND TL (yep, he actually defended it just 18 months ago), then the A4, then the Pathfinder had paint that could never be penetrated, and now the G35 is God's chariot. It's a disturbing pattern that only a trained mental professional could address and treat.


But until he admits that and does something about it he's nothing more than entertainment on car forums.......:banghead:

ck37

Can I ask a question?
How long is this thread going to continue. It's to the point people are nit picking every little thing. You can't pursuade someone to think different if they don't want to. Regardless how immature or ignorant they maybe.

We aren't curing cancer here folks. Just make up or not and move on.

thegre8tone

Nice interior and a shitty transmission...

GaleForce

Well good thing every TL I have seen in person hasn't had transmission problems.

SilverBulletCLS

OMG are you stupid? I have a habit of getting others to help me?! I dont' ask them! They know what is right unlike you! So don't even try to make up some BS like that. Remember you are the one who likes to start shit on forums not me. Just like you are doing here. TL isn't since its not RWD. Even ask the other forum members like bmw, g35 owners, they even said the same thing. I have no need to look better when I have correct info. Backed up with facts.

LOL whatever man. Think what you want. I use to back up other cars that I didn't own. Just like the Maxima now I was backing up. I still back up the CL, and whatever else. YOu just like making up a bunch of bullshit that is why no one likes you at maxima.org.
