Thanks for all the input fellas. Guess I'll need to drive both cars around again before i decide.

Don't forget to look at 335 and 135. If you want something fast and easily modded you can't go wrong with stock turbos.

Its a good idea to drive both cars again, because in all fairness we are a bit biased when it comes to Lexus's (Lexi? lol). But it'll be the exact same on the g37driver.com forum, where they'll tell you the G is better. It's all a matter of opinion.

Now that that's out of the way... Go with the IS350 (or IS-F if you wanna really show up those boys at Infiniti!). The Infiniti is a good drive, but the interior still strikes me as "cheap" not plush as the Lexus. Go with the IS350, you won't regret it. My two cents

Not sure if your search pulled up the following thread, but in it, many members explain why they chose to purchase the IS.

you'll actually be really surprised how much the G37 people love the IS 350. I was really surprised.

that's not an option for me. I still believe BMW reliability is lacking compared to the infiniti and lexus.

Are you going for G37 coupe or sedan? I would also check with a dealer to test drive the IS350 with fsport upgrades. It will have better handling than the stock. G37 has 19" wheels but you can always upgrade the wheels on the IS. But you can't upgrade the center console on the G37 . For me, it was the reliability and also the sound of the dual intake that annoys me. Even though I have a Lexus HKS which sounds sporty when I press the gas, it is also very quiet on those long drives.

I think he wants a 4 seater cause its a lil bit more practical. I hated this car, saw the commercial, loved it then I saw it in person and I think its looks Horribe!

Not as long as they keep making the G37 coupe...

u wont have any regrets with the IS350. everything form the quality to performance and safety-it wont disappoint. and to me, its much sexier than the G37

The G37 comes in both a coupe and a sedan. They both share major components including engine, transmission types, and interiors. The G37 sedan is a bit bigger than an IS, so that solves the rear seating limitation of the IS, if that’s important to you. The G37 coupe has back seats too, but they’re worse than the IS’s.

There is no G35S as one poster here thought.

Having both cars, albeit our IS is a 250, they are alike in many ways. The big difference as far as I’m concerned, is the advanced electronics in the G, including a superior navigation system, with a great 9.3GB hard drive that will store over 300 CD’s, that replaces the antiquated 6 CD changer.

As some posters have suggested, prospective buyers should drive both cars, as it really narrows down to a matter of chemistry. I too, was considering an IS350 before I bought my G37 coupe, and it was a difficult decision.

wow, u really like the infiniti nav over the lexus nav? I probably shold have and will def make a note to play w/ the nav systems on both cars the next time i go in for another test drive.

I totalled my 06 is350 SGM w/ Nav, ML and sports package last year. I waited a year and had many choices to choose from (mb350, acura tl type s, bmw 335, g37, and is350). And now I just bought another is350 again, 07 GFM w/ Nav, ML and luxury package.

Even after all these years, is350 is still the best overall choice of all the cars in the same class. I have not seen any other cars that can match up to the interior design of the is350. Performance is just right for me. Looks is awesome.

performance, luxury, head turning appeal. the IS is great if you want all that. get the IS, you won't regret it. and if you get the G, you won't have an amazing forum to help you with your future endeavors. trust us. IS FTW.
