C350 sport over C300, or possibly A4

Agreed.

Nevertheless, if you are choosing from the list provided, I'd recommend G37.

Hands down G37 sir. Your going to be bored to sweet death in the ES, the MBZ is going to be a foot short of garbage after the warrenty. Remeber you're going to be owning this for the long haul.

Yeah if you like your cars lumpy and bumpy. That thing has more lumps than Evander Holyfield's face. All I see is a 09 Hyundai Elantra with Buick Lacrosse window lines with all the curves and swoops to go with it.

I also read in C&D the M56 is indeed based on the truck Titan 5.6 V-8. No thanks.

Alright guys, let me set some things clear. The C300 will be a SPORT model, 7AT. The G37 will also be a SPORT model, 7AT. The ES is just like a last resort lmao. Anyways, for those of you who are telling me to get another IS, I will NEVER get another IS again unless they SIGNIFICANTLY increase the rear seat legroom. And IS350 is great, but honestly, its the same damn car as my IS250, just a lot faster. My biggest problem with the IS350 is that for all the extra money I'm paying, I get a car that looks visually the EXACT SAME as an IS250. Basically, without the badges, no one would be able to tell the difference. Atleast with the C350, people can tell I paid extra cuz of the rear trunk spoiler. And also, I CANNOT AFFORD PAYING 40K AND ABOVE. 35-38k is where I want my msrp at.

I wouldnt get the IS again either, why buy the same car? doesnt make sense. Its good to try something knew.

You probably arent going to like the legroom of the C class either.

but my sister has a 1 year old ES and it's perfect, but very boring. and it's brown. and we're brown. interior is brown. omg, too much boring brown for me!

Try the BMW 328i, Mercedes C300, IS350, and Audi A4. All four are real luxury sport sedans and beautiful inside and out. Also if you go German: lease don't buy! Now out of the 3 German cars I listed the big A4 might be best for you, but FYI the A4 only has 211hp...
+1, but i wouldn't say the G looks cheap, maybe the cheapest... but still better than the interior of the 3's/A's interior.

Maxima is bad ***. The only reason I never picked one up was because of the lack of the "luxury" name brand/reputation. op, if you don't care, test drive the maxima, it does haul ***.

Wait the IS has a backseat? Really when? And here all this time I thought it was a rear storage area.



Oh yeah better go check the back seat on that C300....... on your way to the infiniti dealer.
