Default Infiniti G37 or Lexus IS350

Which is a better car? All I heard is that the interior of G37 is like a jet's cockpit and the Lexus's is more of a old man's kinda interior, not sporty enough from inside. Is this true? I am new to both of these cars.

I'm not sure between the regular g37s and the g37. I was referring to the current G37 coupe.

Yeah, I agree on that part. It probably is faster by 1 second or so right? But speed isn't the only thing I'm concerned about. How about the whole package? The driving ergonomics? The handling? Looks are subjective, both are HOT cars.

the a5 looks hot!....but the seats will not be as comfortable as the Lexus. I have a 350 and i love it. The steering isn't as sporty as a bmw, but i love everything else. What are you looking for? Almost all the cars have same packages...seat warmers/coolers, navi, backup camera, sports suspension, etc.

it all depends what you want..
G37 looks alot sportier than IS and I guess you'll have an option to go manual
with G37s while you can only get a manual with IS250..
I used to own G35 coupe 6MT and I think the handling was better than
my current IS250..and of course it had alot more HP
but as my signature says..I ended up lemon lawing my G35 in 9 months..
I'm glad that I chose Lexus after the Lemon law cuz I haven't had
any problems with it..

if you want manual and sporty look..G37 is your car
but if you want speed and luxury and reliability..IS350 is yours!!

G37/G37s vs is350... honestly both are fine cars, throw in the 335i and A5 into the mix and really, you cant go wrong with any one of them it just comes down to personal preference. You will get more 'get a is350' here due to where your posting at of course just as you will get 'get a G37' on a Datsun board

I have heard that IS is a girls car? Is that true? I own a BMW, so handling and dynamics are my no. 1 priority, then speed.

I have heard that mostly girls drive the IS series? All my friends think that G37 and BMWs are supposedly an enthusiast's or a man's car. But I'm not sure what other people think about this, not that it matters that much but still.

Can tall and built people fit comfortable inside the IS? I have good height and muscular built. I go to the GYM a lot. That is why I'm concerned. I don't want to be like the strong dude driving a chic's car, going to the GYM and stuff. One of my friend said that it's a midget's car, as in perfect for a midget. But not so for tall people.

In spanish, Lexus means gay sex. If you like Lexus so much then are you gay? Guy who wants to be a girl driving the small vehicle. Man, I'm just asking. It shows how hypocrite you guys are. HAHA. FUNNY!
