They are both in a different class... Infiniti claims that even the TL-S is in a different class than the new G35. Keep in mind the G35 is RWD...

I drove one this weekend....very nice car with a nice high quality finish.... but It didn't feel as fast as my CL-S.

Dealers already have them in stock in Toronto... I drove it on Saturday. They had a gold premium in the show-room and a dark-blue premium as the test car (came with Navi too)...

They had a line-up of people waiting for test drives on Sat..... The dealer said they have already sold 3 cars that day...

Yup, they're hitting dealers now. There are some reviews/pics/test drives over at FreshAlloy.com

I'm not a big fan of the "Sport" badge, tho...

I also remember seeing the tire profile at 65 , which is just not very exceptable for a sporty car, body roll.

No, it was Alta Infiniti/Nissan at Hwy 7 and Martin Grove.

The ride on this car is super-smooth...it floats on the road, yet corners reasonably well... They also have a $1500 Aerokit option which supposedly doesn't add much on the outside, but it puts on spoilers on the bottom of the car to manage airflow...thus making it more aerodynamic and reducing lift..

Yeah, I think thats right because 65 seems just unreasonable. I just remember seeing it at the car show and it was higher than the CLS profile, thats why I kinda remembered it being bad. I guess 55 is ok, but still seems like it would not be too sporty.
