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.

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.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
