Default i concur .. g37 does look nice but put it next to an a5/s5,

and its no competition, a5/s5 wins hands down. plus nissan also released the altima coupe which pretty much resembles the G37 kinda cheapens it.

its a nice car though and you get alot for the price but not for me =)

Default Never heard of Infiniti

Is it a car like lexus, where its only really produced for the US market and its actually a standard car dressed up to look better e.g the toyota/lexus mutton dressed up as lamb?

Default Those 330 horses don't amount to much

it's already about S5 weight and get to 60 in about 5.5 seconds something that the S4 can do with only 10 more ponies.

Default I would bet the G37 has the reliability advantage as well.

Come on, Audi's are as unreliable as Suzukis, but they are sure not up to Honda/Toyota/Nissan standards.

Default I would say "meh". I'm on my third Audi and have had very few issues.

Not to say that Audis are pefect. Far from it. But I've owned Hondas, and I know people with Nissans, Hondas, etc. who have had more problems with their cars than I've had with my Audis.

Default You may want to leave Nissan out of that list. Personal experiences would say Audi is reliable

at least from what I have experienced. With Audi's emphasis and investment in increased reliability, I have a feeling that the A5 and new A4s will take it up another notch. One could definitely do worse, maybe by buying a Mercedes.

actually, even the RWD G37 is quite a bit heavier than the S5

and they've failed miserably.

Default Aha, thanks for informing me.

So it looks like its just like toyota's equivelant to lexus; and from what you have said they seem just as fake. Well I'm glad they don't sell them in AU where I am, its bad enough seeing someone driving around with a lexus here, I just think, poor fool, they've been mislead and fooled into thinking they are a proper luxury car. I bet if most people new that lexus are just toyotas they wouldn't go near them. At least the Europeans know to avoid them like the plague.
