Well you mentioned used 335xi, how about a used A4 or A6 quattro?

Not an A6 fan, A4 still has reliability concerns long-term.

Drove the Maxima this morning... NICE!!! Infiniti is next...

i do like the looks of the G37, but i thought the genesis would be a pretty cool daily driver. with the top rated warranty and great mileage, not to mention great customer service, id be more apt to take the genesis over the G37.

I came away from the Infiniti test drive still thinking about the Maxima's ride (and the ROOM inside) and the $6K I keep in my pocket... I've owned 2 Maximas previously, cannot believe how nice the car is now... and the space AND handling (26 degrees today) was very impressive

Btw... OT... black 370Z in show room was stunning... if I was looking for a sports car only, no back seat needs, I would be hard pressed to buy something else.... to me, flawless!!!

The Maxima is sensational. The 370Z grew on me as well, I like it.

Yep, it's looking like that's the plan, but the incentives are really helping with a new 2010 Maxima vs pre-owned... about $31K for 08 G35X loaded vs the Maxima... can't wait to hear from the dealer(s) today

The Genesis sits solidly in 3rd place... again, I win with any of them!!!

For a DD, I don't think you could loose with any of the three, get whatever one that tickles your navel most.

Maxima wins hands down, it's size, style and performance are more then what you need for a DD.

G37 is great car, but I did not like the smaller interior size, the 3.7 and 7speed AT is amazing, AWD

Genesis is the underdog, before my father bought his FX, he could have gotten 4.6 Genesis with lifetime everything, that was the deal the dealer has giving, but they did not stock 4.6

I love that FX50S too but with the Sienna I just keep getting back to another SUV (and lower mileage) as overkill... Maxima still in lead (space is a big +)... pending discussion with Hyundai dealer ...
