Default Still Audi - 1, Infiniti - 1

I've had an '11 S5 Cab on order since October. We were going to hang onto the '10 S5 Cab and trade in our '08 G37 Coupe. Got a call from the Infiniti salesperson over the weekend with some great offers so went in today to check them out. Walked out with a new '10 G37 Convertible. A few observations:

-The G37 interior has been nicely upgraded since our '08. It looks great!
-The G37 Vert is a pig compared to the Coupe due to the extra weight from the hardtop. It also doesn't come close to the S5 Cab in responsiveness.
-Trunk space with the top up is decent. Top down, nonexistant.
-The ride, even with the Sport Package, is pretty smooth. About as smooth as the S5, and much more so than the 335is Convertible I test drove with runflats.
-The hardtop takes forever to go down. I've been spoiled by the S5.
-After driving the G, I can totally understand why Audi went with a soft top.

Other than that, no complaints. The G Vert is a great car, but I will still be driving the S5, just trading the '10 for the '11. I haven't found anything in its price range that compares.

Mind I ask you why are you trading in your 2010 for a 2011, just because you can or are there other reasons behind it ?

There are no other reasons behind it. The 2010 has been a great car. 1 year, 8k miles, absolutely no issues. The original intent was to keep it and trade in the Infiniti for the '11, but since I've placed the order I'm just going to go through with it. I trade cars almost every year. It's my one fiscally irresponsible vice. ;-)
