I still think you're better off with a used car ... And since you do most of your driving in the city and gas mileage is a bit of a concern I think the Acura TSX is your best bet.
Oh wait ...

since when is the G37's interior "cheap"? Get a clue dude
Like someone said before me, it may not be the best in its class - but it certainly is not cheap either.
That being said, have you considered a honda S2k? rwd coupe with great gas mileage, leather, etc. I dont know if it comes with a navi, but it might be worth it to give it a look if you're looking for a sporty 2dr coupe.
Otherwise, I think the new TT is a great looking car. The redesign really gave it a new edge.

i think you get a new 328 coupe for that price pretty easily.
that would be an extremely fun car
big back seat
big trunk
good gas mileage
i drove a 328xi and even with the weight of the all wheel drive it was spunky

Dude. The G37 isnt very...fast. It holds its own, but I thought you wanted something faster than the TSX. Whats people's definition of sporty? It only has two doors?
Get something turbo you can chip and then return to the dealer when youre done.

200 hp/165 tq~ @ 3400 lbs. to the front wheels for the MT vs 330 hp/270 tq. @3616 lbs. to the rear wheels for the AT.
Have you ever driven the g37? compared with a tsx? It doesnt sound like it.
I'm sure the G's ride is tuned for a more luxurious feel, but that doesnt make it "slow" either.
If you want balls to the wall fast with a sporty tune, then just wait for a 370Z.

The bolded portion is my problem.
Im just trying to figure out what the OP wants. From his post it seemed the only issue he had with the audi was the power. Chip = problem solved. However the list of dislikes for the G37 was kinda long, nothing you can fix with mods.
I just dont see the sense in recommending a car that the OP is having a hard time liking.

Ive driven a g37s auto several times, and that thing pulls pretty nicely I imagine the 6sp will be more fun to drive. To each their own then.

I sold my 05 TSX just over a year ago and picked up an 05 G Coupe. I do miss the TSX from time to time, but man oh man is the G a fun car to drive...especially since I came from an auto to manual.
I am still warming up to the new G37 look...right now, the G35 looks much better.
Personally, I'd get the BMW 335ci

The new Mini cooper S is extremely fun to drive (Manual Trans). I've only driven it for one time but it sure was a blast. Also, the new ones are a bit more peppier than the previous generation.

i was driving my TSX home and there were like 3 huge semis to the left, behind me, and in front of the other semi. gosh, i felt paranoid and odd. i felt the TSX was small. what more though with a smart car or mini cooper?

Doesn't the new TT have rear seats?
If so I'd go Mini cooper s>TT>G37 (new styling and wack spoiler don't do it for me).
I think OP said he needed rear seats so no s2k.

The thing that is getting me is that you can't get a stick in the 4 cylinder engine, wtf is that about?
