Now thats Funny! C'mon dude face it- Numbers don't lie and that Most IS350 owners are running low 13's in their cars - They are both equally good cars but one of them is just a little bit faster - there has to be a winner and a loser - and its just fact that Lexus is the overall winner! but for price wise Infiniti wins for more value in the same class...

Faster? By one test? Go by the other Tests the IS350 got, it was slower than this one test the G35 got.
Wait for more tests, and break in time. Then we can discuss then. Until then I don't call either of them faster.

I am sure there are people running on CL those times, maybe with mild mods too. But there will be some with the G35 as well doing that.

Guys please respect each others opinions. Some will prefer the Lex, some will prefer the Infiniti....
We do not have to go back and forth with each post/point.

According to info i read from Infiniti keyless access is an option as are the leather interior and the paddle shifts and moonroof is an option. So you have to buy the sport which is only 2k less than the IS add these options to the sport and its probably more than the IS or equal in price. Now again IS more fuel effecient, faster(auto vs. auto) more reliable, has better resale value and better dealer service so I see an IS as the better value but maybe im wrong.

I cant believe the past couple pages; absolutely hilarious. I didnt know Lexus owners were so arrogant until 10 minutes ago... Why do we argue about .2 seconds in the 1/4? How practical is that number for most daily drivers who are buying these cars? Im not totally sure, but I dont think the 58 year old women across the street from me who just got an IS350 cares much about 1/4 mile or 0-60. I bet she does care though that the car is quiet and rides very well... These arguments are such moot points as we see IS350s running mid-low 13s in the 1/4 mile, however, I dont think we've seen those types of numbers in magazine reviews. So give the G35 some time to prove itself before you definitively say which is clearly faster. Let give G owners a chance to run their new cars and see some time slips.
I dont really like the argument of the reliability of the IS being superior to the G's because the fact is we just dont know. We dont know how well made the new G is, so to say that the IS is more reliable than the G is a big assumption. We know Lexus/Toyota in generally are pretty much the most reliable, and the IS is probably no exception. However, with the G, the previous generation was pretty reliable and what makes us think it hasnt improved any? I dont think many people had serious reliability issues with the Gs. The resale value issue is a non issue. We dont know, as with the reliability, how the G will fair. The previous G did fairly well with its' resale value, so how do we come to the definitive answer that the new one will not have equal or greater resale value than that of the past generation G?
As stated numerous times before, both are great cars and great alternatives to the 3 series. However, each will attract it's own type of buyer so I think in the end the actual consumers will decide which is the better car/better value. Not us nor a magazine, but rather sales numbers will prove imo which car people valued the most.

The 2007 G35 Journey model with the optional Premium Package, which is projected as the most popular model/trim combination, is priced $700 less than the comparable 2006 model and includes the Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose® Premium Audio System, 10-way power driver’s seat, Bi-Xenon headlights, and Intelligent Key with Push Button Start – features that were not available on the 2006 model.
According to this im reading it write it mentions the Journey which isnt the base model with the OPTIONAL premium package which includes smartkey, 10 way power seats, and push button start which are all standard on the IS350 also the paddles are included only on the sport model add in an auto to make it fair and i bet the IS350 is cheaper or not much more. Add in higher resale value, better dealer service and better reliability and the Lexus is the value champ. No im not biased but if the infiniti were the better value i would say it was but i dont see that. Plus its ugly at least the last model looked decent this one is ugly.

And Lexus fans and Lexus are not complaining about charging a higher price as most of us do believe it is worth EVERY PENNY. Seeing they are also the best selling brand 6 going on 7 years in a row, the price must be right
Infiniti does not have the luxury of charging as much as the tier one brands, they know this and have been very successful with the G35 and M35/45 pricing below the competiton.
Lexus WAS the same way but their managment really had just tremendous vision of where they saw the brand. Thus you now have not just an expanded Lexus lineup but we are seeing the most expensive Lexus ever produced! Loaded at $94,000 LS 460 L. And the $100,000 Lexus is coming with the LS 600L h!

I never saw where Infiniti got it wrong. You got it wrong. MSMLexIS, I am gonna ask you nicely. To Tone it down some. You are obviously biased towards the IS and you have shown that. No need to bash the G35 anymore.

This is right out - getting to be a flame thread - I had no intentions of stirring this round and round - clearly they are both great brands - I should know best - I own both Infinti and Lexus.. Granted I haven't driven the new G35 yet, I don't know how much it improved - but judging from past experiences, accounts and personal experience - if you asked me which brand would I choose - I would choose Lexus first - this is my present opinion - I'm a fair person and when I drive the new G35 - and feel its a better car than the IS350 - I would amit that - I owned both so whats that matter to me?.. It would be great for Infiniti to surpass Lexus - it would raise the bar and then Lexus would have to do better (the benefits of competition) and bring out a better car.. and here we go again.. I say if you like it - buy it - you don't have to prove to anyone or justify your purchase.. Look at me - I love the G35 - bought 2 of them!! I love The GS400 had mine for almost 8 years now since new.. Last words -- Its all Good!!
