which car should my little bro get?

its time for my little bro to get a car but can't decide which one to get, he wants your help,
should he get a 2007 Acura TL Type-S or a 2007 Infiniti G35xS

Tough choice but I like the TL a little better.

Either is a good choice. What is the difference in mileage and price? If your brother lives in Florida, then the AWD of the G35X probably doesn't matter much. If everything is equal, I would choose the Infiniti because of the torque steer on the Acura.

I like the Acura for reliability and looks, but G35 for performance. What are his priorities?

Good choice of cars, but I lean toward the Type S. There are few out there and just looks stunning compared to a regular TL.

i like the curvy G35, esp when fixed up.

the TL looks dated and chiseled

plus, g35 is RWD bias and just more nimble.

i test drove the G in 2007. it was a thrill to drive

G35 should be a better driver's car.

TL Type S for me please. He's young and a kid and the image of a Honda/Acura will be right up his alley. Also the Tl looks waaaaaaaaaaaaay better, it pretty much modded and has a great interior and featues. The G35x is also a very good car but the jellybean looks kill it for me. FWD and AWD are both safe to me.
