Infiniti would be cheaper to maintain than the competitors mentioned.

ienhz 07-12-2009 10:42 PM
I wouldn't take the Infiniti side for any of those comparisons except MAYBE against the X3

!Aznboi128 07-12-2009 10:51 PM
I like how the QX56's 1st thing standard 20" escalade only has 18"

especially because you can bring it to a Nissan dealership.

The comparison is from the Infiniti website, so it is obvious they are going to make themselves look good. The specs stated are facts, not that they altered anything and gave out false information, but they only compare whatever spec they have that's better than their competitors.

slammer111 07-13-2009 02:26 AM
Anyone who knows their cars is going to shake their head at this comparison. Infiniti might as well put one of their selling points as "We have 11 colour options vs. BMW's 8" or whatever. Not saying the facts aren't true (which is not the case at all) but anyone who buys a car solely on THOSE paper specs is an idiot.

Looking at the G37 vs. 335i.. seriously, not everyone wants 19" rims. Myself included. I'm too cheap to pay 4x for the same diameter but lower-profile tires. Nor do I enjoy swerving like crazy to avoid potholes and speed bumps on a daily basis.

I also noticed that for the 335i comparison, they conveniently left out the prices for both vehicles, unlike the other comparisons. Hmm..

Harvey Specter 07-13-2009 03:38 AM
Yup, I didn't get 19's on my 335i because my car is a daily driver. The 19" style 230's look amazing but for daily driving 19's are awful.

For the EX and X3, it compared irrelevant things like a rearview monitor... and leather seating... but it doesn't bring up that the X3 probably handles better thanks to it's rock hard suspension, and that the trunk space is way more, which is more important IMO than some silly rear view monitor, especially in a crossover.

Same with the G37 and 335 convertible comparison, even with additional power the G37 really isn't much faster if not slower especially in convertible form.

They really took the 4 or 5 things out of each of all these cars and said that they were better because of it. But most of the things are insignificant!

Every car will have advantages over other cars, it's whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages that will make it ON PAPER a better car. I'd take the twin turbo 6 over a VQ anyday,


They just used small "filler" details to determine their cars were better

I'm not saying infinitis/Nissans suck here, I'm just saying how poorly these comparisons show the advantages/disadvantages of these cars
that is true, g37 and g35 in terms of speed there really isnt any improvement in terms of 1/4 mile and stuff. Sure 37 gets a bigger engine with 30hp+ but it is also packed with more weight

probably awfully expensive too for factory 19" as an option, might as well as get aftermarket bling

1st place: BMW 328i
2nd place: Infiniti G37 SPORT
3rd place: Audi A4 2.0t quattro
4th place: Acura TL SH-AWD


its so flattering to see BMW all over their own website

Nice try Nissan :)

in terms of driving excitement (and i find this relevant on this forum due mostly for all of its members share that outlook) the other three do not stand a chance.

@@ wtf bmw came in first?
328 is pretty weak, it has like what? 230hp?

while G and TL both have 300hp, yet it comes in first? wow.
yes yes, power isnt everything but 230hp is really weak now in todays standard.
335i would be a better compairson

+1 The 2nd Gen G35 Sedan is about the same speed as a G37 coupe, even though the coupe has a more powerful engine. The G37 Sedan that is now out is quicker than the coupe. Infiniti is pumping the power up next year as well. The 3.7L V6 is going to be at 340 and 350hp.

its the way the whole car works together in harmony.

^Yup best balance, and feels more agile and planted.

Jackygor 07-13-2009 12:41 PM
Every since the first G35 sedan/coupe came out and took a chunk out of BMW bread and butter market, BMW have been upping their game and expanding their market like a mad man. However, lets not take anyway away from Infiniti, they make fine cars, but BMW just makes it better.

Philly74 07-13-2009 06:46 PM
As much as i like the g35 i still would prefer BMW 335. never like the g37 so i left it out. VQ has the sweet sound but it's something about BMW interior which i like alot.

ilvtofu 07-13-2009 06:55 PM
Neither has a nice interior but G's definitely feels cheesier and the switchgear is no good.

Bmw interior looks the same from 10 years ago XD but simpler and cleaner and classier

Harvey Specter 07-13-2009 09:30 PM
Best interior is the A5/S5.

And if you look at g37c vs 335ci, there's no price. We all know the 335 is better... and faster...

And comparing EX35 to an X3?!?!?! X3's got a bigger trunk, better ground clearance i believe, better back seat, which is what ur expecting in a crossover, and a sportier drive :)

LOLOL good job comparing G37 coupe to A5 which is incredibly rare, y not 335?

This is just BS...

They really should have a regular comparison chart which would've been much fairer
There is no consistency in their comparisons besides their powertrain warranty which is 2 years more
Those cheats, never buying an infiniti after this...
Equally Bad.

ilvtofu 07-14-2009 02:02 PM
Equally bad?

I'm 100% sure the trunk space is better because I have an X3 XD
The height is much better and is less slanted, much better for suitcases
Off road capabilities of both are garbage so who cares.

But the X3 is an incredibly sporty drive, but suspension is hard to live with for people who can't stand a sports car. Haven't Driven the EX before, but guaranteed the back seat and trunk is better in the X3

johnwhite 03-09-2010 10:07 PM
infiniti has much more luxury and technology into it then the bmw.

johnwhite 03-09-2010 10:09 PM
also stock inifiniti sounds much more better then the bmw's

hk20000 03-10-2010 03:51 AM
and a 8 month fail post is definitely more fail than regular fail posts.
