IMO, you only live once, get the G37 and experience it. Don't like it? Trade it in for another car or if you want, another IS350.

Yeah, but looking at your signature makes you wonder about the G3X. LOL!

I own both cars 2012 IS350 (hers) and 2008 G37S Coupe (mine) and the driving experiences are no where identical... i like the smooth get up and go power i get from driving the IS350, its very comfortable and rides like a dream. But i love the killer top end of the G37S and the more sporty drive... i say take it for a test drive and get the feel for the G37, if you dont like it you still got your IS. If you get a chance to drive a G with the 7AT, those IMHO have the best of both as far as driving experience, but lack the luxury feel of the Lexus. Just my $0.02 GL with your choice

Like others have said already, your mainly going to get a biased answer here, go check out the G37 forums and see what they say. Id say go test drive the G37 and see how you like it. Honestly I prefer Lexus because the interior in our cars are a lot better than the G IMO

It came down to the g37 sedan or the is350. Two main reasons why I got the is350, I think it looks better and the "Lexus" brand is moar upscale than infinity IMHO. The only advantage for the g37 for me was a bigger rear seat but I didn't care about that so much. But you've already had one, so I'd say the g37 is a good alternative.

Either one good but instead of another 350 why not an IS F? Find a good used one in the 30k range.

TRUE ! the interior in the IS is so much nicer than the G Sedan/ Coupe... My Fiance's IS is growing on me so much that im considering getting an IS-F if that helps any... Just get an IS-F, Luxury, Sporty, and Drive all into one but back to topic, just go to the nearest stealership and take a test drive in a G and then go from there my friend...

Funny i was just writing my other post and said the same... im gonna have to 2nd this suggestion, once they redesign the IS-F youre sure to find the older models for cheaper... Im waiting too

EDIT: I drive both cars, the G and the IS on a daily basis... I say test drive and go from there

Everybody is recommending him different cars M3 or İS-F. Well if his budget allows him to buy ose cars then I think he should get GT-R35 2012 0-60 in 2.8 sec and mpg is the same as IS-F.
