I agree with everything but the paint comment - the paint on my Infiniti chipped very easily - it was almost ridiculous. Honestly, I'd rate the paint quality about the same.

I'd thought all car makers paint sucks in recent years due to changes in paint the EPA mandated?

That's what I thought too, but even though people say the IS paint is thin (and it is, iMO) it holds up pretty well. I had an accident last year where I bumped into another car, and the paint held up perfectly (even though it was very low speed) No cracks, chips, nothing!

You are right... the IS isn't a competitor.... it's better. End of subject.

Keep the IS. G37 is a nice car for sure, but the IS is a better car IMO.

It all comes down as to which car you prefer. ISX50 for luxury and features + nicer interior material and design. G37S MT or 350z if you want to go with the pure sports for handling looks or if you plan to bring the car to track. It's better that you know which car is more fit for your needs.
Also, the new designed G engine will be DI engine as well so you may want to wait for it.
