lease is up, what to get???

im sure there are tons of these threads, im just bored so ive narrowed it down to these...

328xi, drove this car was blown alway, its faster than i thought, handeling is pretty much perfect, the interior is a bit plain, but car just feels amazing, kind of expensive but the got free maintnence.

c300 4matic, donno why i like this car but i do, havent driven one, but i like the interior.

g37x, i drove the last gen and it drives great, with 330hp it must be much sweeter, but i know the seats suck, the last gen seats were very uncomfortable, especially if ur comute is more than 2 minutes!

stx v6, planning on test driving it, but ive heard so many complaints, the numb steering, poor brakes, plus the strange design and all.

Is the A4 Quattro off your list?

What about the VW CC VR6 4-Motion?

I would go check out the A4 without a doubt.

And you thought the 1st gen G35's were uncomfortable? My dad has a 05 G35x and I think it's comfy

You can get a really SWEET deal on a G37 hard top convertable right now....

I kinda wish I waited I could hav got a $52K G convertable lease for $100 more a month then my $30K TSX..
So for $3900 over the term of the lease I could have been driving a 325 HP Hard top convertable that costs 22K more..

They are discounting them that heavily now, interesting... Are they 09's or 10's? I know Infiniti held off as long as possible releasing the 2010 G37 sedan to help unload the left over 09's, is it the same deal with the convertibles?

As for the OP, I had a 2nd Generation G35 and overall it was a pretty nice car, fast, and the majority of my complaints of the 1st generation were addressed. That said if I had just bought a 328i at the time I would probably still have it, I have been through 3 cars since my 07 G35X. No matter what I'm looking at or thinking in terms of my next car, the 3 series is always in the back of my mind.

Its the 09 G convertables they are unloading.. We do not have the 2010 's yet..
We just got the 2010's coupes and sedans 2 weeks ago..
They are giving all infiniti Employee's awsome deals on the convertable and are also giving customers great leases on them!

i actually drove the new a4, the interior of the car is very nice but the performance is not even close to its competitors. there is significant turbo lag, its a heavy car and it feels like it, the steering is nice but a little too lose, and maybe its me but there is this strange design flaw that if your on the highway with the window all the way down the wind blows right in your face, very wierd. the A5, looks great tho.
