I've driven the TL's, obviously nose heavy cars.

And my G35 gets 21-22 City and 25-27 highway. My friends TL gets a average of 19-21 city but he does get 30 highway. But he is a bit more consertivve than I am. I drove 80-90 mph. He normally doesn't speed.
So Gas mileage is a wash as well in some cases.

And folks participating in this thread, please keep it civil, polite and factual. Pretty much every thread on this topic gets locked, please don't be the one to cause it in this thread or I'll be tempted to try out that temporary ban feature I just learned about.

And Nissan's (Infiniti's) numbers have been accurate. For instance, they tested the FX under the revised standard and the FX45's numbers went up while the FX35's remained the same.

Again, a Nissan without more HP than the competition is simply a Buick or Plymouth. Be glad it has more HP.

I find it funny, that you Nissan luvers find time to post here some old crap we discussed months ago. Lets discuss how Infintii is really NIssan. Not sold in Europe. Rebadged Nissans here in America, where after 15 years, they finally figured out how to make 1 decent car or two.
That QX56 is such a high quality car. Built in Mississipi. Most Infiniti's are really just 350Zs with badges and a plastic chrome grill.
Lets talk about that.
Lets talk about how Lexus is a class leader and Infinitii cannot even be spelled right by owners let alone the general public.
So please, go to your home and brag about how yoru G35 has less HP than a IS 350.
Thanks!

As a sidenote, and hp #'s aside, I have been smoked by several G35's while driving my GS430.
HP's do not tell the whole story.

Oh and the Infiniti FX is not a rebadged Nissan. Neither was the J30. Until the new GS and IS, Lexi always had Toyota equivalents.

1SICKLEX, you'd do yourself a great service in actually taking the time to learn about Nissans and Infinitis instead of ranting and providing misinformation because you get peeved at their owners.

No, you mention something, you back it up with a link so its a fact then. Like I said, I have never seen a post of a lawsuit of this type. Sick, like the admin said, keep it factual.
Ah like usual, more insults by you on Infiniti's/Nissans. Let me remind you, that you do drive a ES which is a glorified Camry. Remember, no insults per the admin on this site, and your breaking the rules already.
IS350, just came out after the G35 had more hp than it for over 3 years. WOW! Someone always comes out with something better after time. The new G35 will have more HP I am sure.

If your posting a thread from months ago, how about searching yourself to find out about the lawsuits on the Nissan forums. THanks.

OK guys I can see NO ONE listened. Factual means talking about reports, surveys, hands-on experience, not about people making the posts.
You guys keep making it personal. Closed.
