It'll be a few months, but once I get the Accord sold I'm thinking of selling/trading in the truck as well and buying a new car. I just can't make up my damn mind. The Acura would be more practical as I have a daughter, but I really want a G35 (can you say Skyline!) So I need some input guys! Which do you think?

2004 Acura TL


or

2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe

I'm one of the most die-hard Honda people you'll find, but if I had the funds and was able to choose between the two, even I'd take that Infiniti

G35, hands down. If you want some pictures of the midnight Blue, I can go snap some right now. Great car in all ways. The best part about it, (at least int he sedan) is that the rear seats will recline just like the fronts. The LSD and traction controls are amazing, and the service we get from the dealer is just awesome. Over all the car has a very nice finish, and it looks just amazing.

On the custumer service side, when the car has to go down for the oil changes at the dealership, we get a different nissan or infiniti evey time for a loaner. One time I got a 350Z for an entire weekend while they replaced a rattling head rest!

33 kg = 238.689 foot pounds by the way...

Quite a break from the "torqueless wonder" Honda has become.

tough... the new TL has 270 hp, and a pimp interior.

i hate the crazy slant of the g35/350's...

i dunno,... personally... if i was looking to spend 35k, it'd be on an 01 M3... not on a honda or nissan.
