Would you driv a TL Type S?
I'm deciding on what to trade my other car in for. Would you drive a TL Type S? Would you get Navi or not?
I've also driven and like the Infinity I35 and rove and ruled out the Jaguar X Type (yuck).
I'm trying to stay under 35K.
Thanks for your feedback.

I think you'll find the considered opinion on this board to be that TL-S is a great car that we's all be willing to drive.
Many people may say they would do it only if there was no CL-S available
but I don't think you'll get too many serious opinions here regarding the TL-S being a bad car. That is assuming we leave any lurking tranny discussions out of it.

3558 lbs
3574 lbs with NAV
CL-S weighs:
3510 lbs
3534 lbs with NAV
CL-S 6 speed weighs:
3446 lbs
3470 lbs with NAV
I don't see the 100 lb difference you mention. . .

Is this really true? I would think it would be heavier? What accounts for the difference?

DEFINITELY!!!
I drive a TL-S and my gf drives a CL-S. Both excellent cars, but we both think that the TL-S actually have a more sporty feel to it. The steering feels tigher and the gas pedal gives a more accurate feedback. My gf doesn't like it, just because she says that turning the steering wheel on my car is tiring compare to her CL-S......
Any other TL-S/CL-S owner notices the two car feels different?
I saw the Infiniti G35 in person at the dealer today. Before I saw it in person, I hated the look of that car on paper. But I have to say that it actually looks alot better in person. I would actually consider getting one! Don't judge that car until you have seen it in person. 260HP/260LB of torque + RWD, that car is going to kick some ass!
But of course, my TL-S is better.

I drove a regular tl around for a while and it felt like a family car to me. I prefer a 2 dr. I love my CLS..can't see how the TLS could be so much better like you guys are saying. Isn't it basically the same car but with 4 doors and diff sheet metal??
