Lexus is not going to point out deficiencies in their comparisions! You obviuosly know nothing about marketing.

I am well aware that marketing aims to focus on all benefits, and minimize any deficiencies, of one's product. If you read my posts completely, you would know that all I am doing is discussing the ACCURACY of the brochure, which I went over line by line.

And it's marketing, not marking. My earlier statement was simply to point out to the other respected poster that his assertions that Lexus made false deficiency statements on behalf of other manufacturers was not necessarily the case. There were no false deficiency comparisons made against the G35 regarding Cd, fuel tank, or engine displacement. There were true comparisons made against the G35 on other areas where the IS has an advantage.

Thanks for catching the typo. You're still a retartd!

I'm a retard too. I wasn't looking at the pdf if continuous facing mode, so on mine it showed the A4 comparisions advantages beside the G35.

There are still a few mistakes (turning radius, saying "not available" on G's driver programmable shift warning light, aluminium pedals, putting "not available" on VDIM (g has VDC)) "not available" under DRL), and a couple fudges (trunk size in the G is stated with full size spare, without it it's 2 cubic feet larger than the IS's).

Oh well, no matter. I got an e-mail that said I get to go check them out on the 14th, so now I am really excited.

WTF?

Ventilated seats are not even an option on the G (unfortunately).

I have a 2004 G35 Sedan 6MT (loaded with NAV, Sport, Aero etc - every possible available option - had to custom order it from Japan and wait 3 months as most regular 6MTs are pretty basic). It does not have DRL, shift warning light, aluminium pedals or VDIM (BTW saying VDC is as good as VDIM is like saying drum brakes are as good as disc brakes). Are you saying all these appear on later models of the G35 Sedan?

All '05 6MT's have a driver adjustable upshift light. DRL is an option afaik, and is standard on Canadian cars (its law in Canada). I could look into the aluminium pedals - mine came with them, I suppose the dealer may have put them on, but they're OEM.

As for VDIM and VDC, which is better is highly subjective. VDIM is definitely more proactive and offers better safety, but it's also more intrusive, can't be turned off and could hinder handling. That's a subject for an entirely different thread, though. I suppose as a method of safety listing VDIM as an advantage and saying the G doesn't have VDIM is technically correct. This isn't an Infiniti brochure, afterall.

Either way, I am not knocking the brochure. My original posts were obviously mistaken because I didn't have the pdf in the correct format - but there are still little fudges and mistakes. Oh and don't sweat not having the rev light, it's annoying anyway.

These brochures are available at the dealer now. I picked one up today.

My dealer had one in his hand...but he didn't give it to me. But then again, I don't need it.

BTW, is it printer version identical to the pdf? Because those guys acted like they had not seen my material (the pdf) before today (tho maybe it's still new to them).

TimboIS

It's the same.
