which of these would yall recommend

Acura TL
Infiniti G35
Lexus IS350

I get a discount on all Daimler-Chrysler (so thats all Mercedes and Chryslers) but there arent any I want. This car will be my bridge to the really nice car in 3-4 years


thoughts?

12/31/2005 3:02:05 AM

tl 30k car
g35 35k car
is 40k car


money no object IS350

12/31/2005 3:06:02 AM

actually the tl's im looking at are around 38

im getting the max options with any of them

like the front,rear, and side underbody spoilers on the tl with the 18" wheels and the performance package gets u to about 38 at a dealership, with the sticker being like 41

is350 then w/o any doubts

although for that money... e90 330i fully loaded

12/31/2005 3:26:34 AM

slightly used e46 m3?

12/31/2005 3:43:25 AM

IS350

12/31/2005 3:46:18 AM

I know for a fact that Lexus models were sold just like Toyotas in Japan until like a couple of months ago. The whole reason for launching Lexus was the fact that Toyota was associated with cheap low quality cars in the last century in America

12/31/2005 3:58:40 AM

infinity is nissan you dickhole

12/31/2005 4:03:16 AM

?

12/31/2005 4:03:29 AM

G35

12/31/2005 9:14:34 AM

6 speed G35 coupe, fully loaded

12/31/2005 9:54:46 AM

^ i second that motion

12/31/2005 10:11:11 AM

all 3 would be 6spd

12/31/2005 11:07:53 AM

g35, hands down

12/31/2005 11:36:37 AM

is350

12/31/2005 11:46:42 AM

from the financial standpoint, the Lexus would have the best resale value.

No.

Acura is Honda, Infinity is Nissan, and Lexus is Toyota, and for that matter, the G35 is a shared platform with the 350Z.



and I'd go for the IS350 out of that bunch, although I'd also look at a 330i (and honestly prob get a slightly used E46 M3)

12/31/2005 2:03:58 PM

i hate these threads, can anyone suggest a way to ruin them?

12/31/2005 2:20:41 PM

Ferrari Testarossa

12/31/2005 2:22:23 PM

IS350 can only be had as an automatic, I don't know if that's a factor in your decision. I would personally choose a six speed G35 coupe fully loaded as well though.

12/31/2005 2:29:15 PM

the IS looks like a shit turd with a peanut stuck on top.

UGLY.

hmmm




to each his own though

12/31/2005 3:01:51 PM

buy used, youll be better off

12/31/2005 3:04:24 PM

IS350, the TL is a low quality piece of shit with terrible customer service.

ever noticed how the g35 and 350z look a LOT alike?

12/31/2005 4:02:32 PM

My VX is pure sex.

The IS looks like shit from any angle.

12/31/2005 5:40:32 PM

G35 coupe is the best looking of all of these cars

12/31/2005 5:59:04 PM

id second the used e46 M3.

ive driven an G35 and a 350z (couple times) and havent been impressed. TL is nice, but FWD. i dont know too much about the IS350, but for some reason i hate lexus.

12/31/2005 6:34:31 PM

anyone own any of these 3 cars?

12/31/2005 6:38:36 PM

get a used A6 or M3 for the same price

my brother in law goes to about 3 auctions a week and can prolly find what youre looking for

way better than buying new from a dealer

12/31/2005 6:39:32 PM

mebbe i should explain what im looking for


on any of these i wont be doing any body mods or performance mods


I also dont care about FW or RW or AWD

th0 the TL is the only one that doesnt offer AWD

12/31/2005 6:41:57 PM

^^ o rly


i just prefer to buy new b/c of the warranties you can get

like i always buy the extended one



[Edited on December 31, 2005 at 6:44 PM. Reason : its b/c the first car i ever had was a lemon]

12/31/2005 6:42:28 PM

he can get new also

12/31/2005 6:45:07 PM

omg

12/31/2005 6:48:34 PM

That suv looks so ugly.

12/31/2005 6:49:15 PM

when i get back from manhattan im buying a car 4sh0

12/31/2005 6:49:36 PM

I might be wrong, but didn't you buy a $45k car like less than ayear ago when everyone trolled the hell out of you for bragging about daddy's money?

12/31/2005 6:50:31 PM

I pull in more pussy with my suv than you could ever post about.

12/31/2005 8:32:28 PM

That's irrelevant

SUV is butt ugly.

12/31/2005 8:57:32 PM

g35 out of those choices


300c or charger r/t would be my choice in that price range though.

12/31/2005 9:51:32 PM

cant go wrong with any of them, id take the tl just cuz of size

12/31/2005 10:22:43 PM

OMG You SHOULD sO get lIke a MiAta and put like 20 grand i nMODZS on IT. DUDE you are stooped to BuyA a new CAR ANd itS slooow

12/31/2005 11:30:26 PM

go with this

1/1/2006 1:27:25 AM

My sister has an 06 TL with navigation. It doesn't have the sport package or whatever acura calls it (rims, suspension, brakes). I've driven it on a few trips and I've enjoyed it. She's not too interested in performance, so I think it was a better choice for her over the is350. Not to mention the 5k difference in price. She didn't like the G35 so that was out of the running pretty quick.

From what I've seen/heard, they're still trying to get around sticker for the is350. My sister paid about $300 over printed invoice for her TL.

This is coming from somebody who drives a V6 Mustank.

Oh, BTW, I think I would either opt for a slightly used e46 M3 or the G35 coupe.

[Edited on January 1, 2006 at 5:50 PM. Reason : that's the way, uh huh, I LIKE IT]

1/1/2006 5:45:47 PM

v6 mustang is still 10x better looking than that isuzu.
