Better yet. Let your brother go and really check out both cars so he can come to his own conclusion. There's nothing better than first-hand exposure. After all, he's the one who's shopping.

Neither one are really my cup of tea, but I chose the G35 simply because it's the more attractive, less cramped, and more affordable of the two. Both cars offer similar features, but you definitely get more for less with the G35. Personally, I think the IS250 is incredibly underpowered for its price. For the same price as an IS250, you can get a G35 with more features and much more power (as well as space). IMO, the IS350 is overpriced, which is why I would never own one. Also, because it looks too much like more inexpensive cars as the Corolla & Mitsubishi Lancer. If I'm spending nearly 40k on a luxury car, I don't want it mistaken for a Mitsubishi (yes I know the IS came out first).
Overall, both are great cars, but I could never justify spending the extra money on the IS simply because it's a "Lexus". Everyone knows it's the cheapest Lex you can buy, so the prestige factor really shouldn't be much of a factor at all - at least at this price point.

I said in my review in which I really like the G35 sedan, for 32k, it is the best VALUE out there in this segment.
After just driving the IS 350 at the Taste of Lexus, it is obvious why it starts at 3k more and it is the better CAR.
When the G35 price creeps up, its a no brainer, get the IS 350. I am 6"5 240, never had an issue up front in the IS, very comfy. The rear is not good at all, lol.

THe IS looks like a Lancer or Corolla. What are you smoking? Its been said by pretty much all forums, its the best looking in class.
You cannot justify spending money on an IS b/c its the cheapest Lexus but you can on a G35 which is a NISSAN SKYLINE but rebadged here?????
Dude, get real and pass the sweet cheba......

The rear of the Lancer looks exactly like the IS. I swear, I can't tell you how many times I have mistaken a Lancer for an IS. The Lancer is a $14,000 car. I don't want my $40,000 car looking exactly like a $14,000 econo-car. I don't car how many special "L" badges are on it
As far as the G35 being a rebadged Skyline, what does that matter? Both Toyota and Nissan have upscale models in Japan that are not available anywhere else. The Toyota Crown is a fine example of this. Up until a couple of years ago, the same could be said for the Toyota Celsior, Aristo, & Altezza. The point is, the Skyline is still an entry level luxury car in Japan, just like the Toyotas I just mentioned (well, the Crown is higher up on the chain, but you get the idea).
Anyway, the reason for getting an IS over a G35 because of the badge is just a silly reason, IMO. They're both entry level luxury cars. We're not talking LS, 7-series, S-Class territory here where prestige plays more of a factor in the purchasing decision.

Infiniti G35 sedan is definitely an excellent sports sedan, I love it very much. In fact, I was in a dilemma in deciding which one to buy, G or IS. Although I ended up with the IS350, G still gets a lot of my respect, and I just saw one gray 07 or 08 G sedan being lowered with 20" rims and roof spoiler, being driven by a cute girl, I was so happy to see that. I test drove both Sport and Journey and I felt more sportiness and less luxury in G than in IS. I have been a 2003 G35 sedan owner for 5 whole years and I didn't regret a bit buying that car, a true sports sedan with a great value.
