Seems Nissan/Infiniti is finding quite a few Lexus defectors these days. I put a deposit down on a G35 Coupe last weekend. I'm trading in my SC430! NO COMPARISON in the "luxury" category but the FUN FACTOR with the G is hard to ignore.

Noticed you have the Nakamichi system in your GS. Just be ready to put lots of $$$ into upgrading your sound system! Otherwise, enjoy!

Yeah, i will miss the Nakamichi, but it shouldn't be too hard too make the system sound better. In the '04, i heard the stereo is fixed up.

Indeed, their designs are new and exciting. They are stealing way more Acura/Honda buyers. We'll see how their new cars hold up though. I thing about an exciting car, you overlook crappy interiors and quality cause your having so much fun.

Congrats 'bro. The Z is a great car

I am sure you will have tons of fun. As far as reliability goes, Nissan are up there as far their engines and electrical systems go. Nothing to worry about. My wife has a 97 Maxima SE (the years when Nissan was bleeding and cutting corners), and it is very reliable. Quality is not as high as Lexus (but then you get what you pay for anway, so that is not a minus in my eyes). As far as reliability goes, the Max is screwed together very tightly - no rattles and squeaks from the dash or anywhere else in the car unlike my 99 GS400 that has occasional weird sounds that come from the dash whenever they feel like coming........... Go figure....

I'd be interested too in parts you might be selling, please update this thread when you have posted a new thread in the classified section, that way I check out what you're selling.

IMO, only if one wants a manual transmission or 2-door coupe. In addition, few threads here that indicates Lexus owners have traded in their LS/GS for Q45/M45.
