I'm not familiar with the other infinity models besides the g35.

With that said the G35 has great reliability and have bulletproof engines. As I mentioned before the G35 coupe is The Nissan Skyline in Europe. The Nissan Skyline dominates in tracks around the world for a reason. The skyline was actually banned from many races because it had an unfair advantage.

Here's a link to the Japanese site of Nissan where the G35 model is clearly shown as the Skyline. It says it on the trunk, unfortunately since the site is in japanese it's hard to understand anything else.

I'd like to know what Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura have to offer. Honda had nothing even in the same class as the G35. Toyota doesn't have any performance vehicles anymore. Lexus has the IS which is impressive in it's own light, but again doesn't hold a candle to a G35. Then of course Acura whom has nothing except the NSX which is waaay more expensive. The RL and TL are not in the same class as the G35 either(speaking of the coupe). They lean more towards functionality and luxury than performance.

I mentioned the G35 because obviously if you had an Audi S4 your a guy that likes high performance, not average performance. Keeping that in mind I basically went through everything I can think of with the brands you mentioned, and that was in my opinion your best match.

As for cost of repairs honestly it should be low considering reliability is good. Any new cars today cost alot if major things go wrong. My mother's Dodge Neon blew the engine and it cost her Nearly $5000 to fix from a dealer. I almost blew a gasket when she told me she paid that. Point is the old saying domestic is cheaper is not always the case.

So with that said instead of looking for what the cost of repairs is, look for what the reliability ratings are. Consumer Reports is a good place to gauge reliability (which the G35) got great ratings from. Also check out crash ratings at.............

I hope this helps. Don't take my word for it. Go test a G, I guarantee you'll fall in love with the handling, speed, and overall finish. I was not a fan until I drove it.

Actually dave many people have me come out and give estimates and tell me they had no intentions of buying, but they were just curious. The difference is they aren't coming to me, I'm going to them.

I don't see why you would care that people do that. That's what you do so you know what you want. Are people supposed to just wait until the second they are ready to buy and then make a rash decision? or is it better to know what's good out there, and know what's worth it.

Also Just so you know, half the time I'd have my truck being repaired and salesman would just ask me to take anything out for a test drive because they were bored. So don't tell me I'm making life for them horrible.

Dude just for that I'm going to come up, test drive one of your cars at your dealership, and fart real bad in it....to the point where I leave marks in my pants. Then I'll say I'm not ready to buy!
