Acura TL A-Spec or Infinity G35?


Recommended Posts

My roommate has been looking at both of these cars and he found that the G35 is a better built car with less problems. Plus the G35 has a better resale value. G35 gets my vote all the way, but I'm sure you will be really happy in either car.

some shots of "MrMello"s pimped up g35  :p :

Wierd front, not sure if I like that..the wheels are just a little too shiny as well.

Who's car is that? I don't like those rims, too much chrome. Shoulda gone with some Volks. I don't like the Stillen grills either, really cheapens the car. Rather stay stock or go with some Gialla.

And yup, the G35 has the best resale value I think. A 2003 G35 Coupe still costs around $29,000. I'll show you some nice G35 coupes....

Drive them both like I have and you'll see the Infinity offers a little more than the Acura. I like the G35 more because of a smoother ride, more ameneties and in some cases, a better value. Both are great and appealing cars but if I had to choose, I'd say G35 all the way. Test drive them both and give them a fair chance and see what you think when you're done.

yep, took the words right out of my mouth... i test drove the TL and didn't like it. It is an absolutely beautiful car, but it just doesn't handle and drive as well as the G35. I actually got a 04 Maxima instead (I only like the G35 in coupe, and well, i'm not allowed to get a 2 door :pinch: :cry: :crazy: )....

Anyways, I've been driving my Maxima (while I have every single possible option, it's a cheaper version of the G35), and I would not turn back. The TL just does not handle and drive as well as the Nissan/Infinitis...

They're all beautiful cars though. The Infiniti/Nissan have MUCH more customizability compared to the TL....

But seriously though, test drive them, and that's the only way to tell.

The G35 for sure.  I don't even think there's a choice here.  Acuras are nice cars, but they're not in the same class as Infinitis.  I don't know where you heard they have reliability issues, but I am skeptical of that.

I'D go with the infinit only because I have driven the acura tl and it's powerful but seems heavy and sluggish and not as nimble as say the Accord.

The G35 for sure.? I don't even think there's a choice here.? Acuras are nice cars, but they're not in the same class as Infinitis.? I don't know where you heard they have reliability issues, but I am skeptical of that.

Err, they are in the same class (Acura and Infiniti). And Nissan (Infiniti) have been having problem after problem with reliability lately. I don't know anything about the G35 in particular, but the FX/Murano has been a nightmare and so have several other recent cars from that outfit.

The TL is a very nice car, and Acura/Honda definitely has an edge in reliability.

But personally, I prefer to stick with the Germans.

I love the new A4 2005_ext_gallery10_a4sedan_lg_us.jpg

I've found you have to see it in person to truly appreciate the new design.

Available in 2.0T (200HP) and 3.2L (255HP) models - as well as the 4.2L (350HP) S4 and 4.2L (420HP) RS4.

When I said that they're not even in the same class it was my opinion. In my opinion Infinitis are a lot classier than Acuras. Anyway, you can't talk about reliability and then bring up an Audi. German cars cars, specifically VWs which Audis are based off of, are among the least reliable cars in the world.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
