trying for save money for my car and needed some opinion from all of you. which is better?? a 2006 bmw 330 coupe, 2006 is 350 or A6 from audi and of course, a g35 6mt? i dont race, so basically i look for styles and luxury interior and somewhat performance. appreciate all the inputs. thanks.
If you want luxury then the 350Z is out
I do like the new 3 series but only in sedan form and I've heard of entirely too many electrical failures to recommend it
I think the A6 is a good choice for style and luxury but my buddy works at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealer as a mech and has warned me about buying any audi but I don't know specifics
Obviously I recommend the G35 but it does have its flaws ... not nearly as luxurious as the A6 but definitely worth taking a look at
Like chenga said ... if you want luxury its hard to pass up any Lexus ... i'm not big on their style but that's all subjective (then again so is luxury)
I test drove the Lexus before I even considered the G and I couldn't wait to get out of the car and on with my day...same with the 325ci except I was also a tad angry after that test drive...yet everyone seems to love Lexus. Did they just happen to roll out the 1990 240 Volvo DL and put a fake hood ornament on it so as not to sell me a car? I am not sure why I equated the thing with crap when everyone loves it...maybe I should hop back in one just to have correct perspective.
QnessG - have you test driven all three? Are you leasing or buying?
The cars you have listed are focused on different things. The 6mt G35 is definitely leaning towards sport. Audi reliability has always been suspect in my mind after one of my friends worked for them for a few. The 330 and IS350 are great vehicles but I would definitely wait for the second model year in this generation in order to avoid the first year bugs.
-If interior is your priority, I would lean Lexus.
-Any reason you're considering the 330ci instead of the 330i? The IS350 and A6 are sedan-only...
i dont know about the lexus i have heard from lots of people that there is not alot of room in the back seat and that the car should have been a coupe

I've heard the same. When I was shopping for a car before I bought the G I looked at a 330 sedan and the backseat just didn't cut it. Infiniti (G35 sedan) defintely has one of the roomiest interiors in this class.
I'd look seriously into the IS350, but keep in mind that the IS350(instead of the IS250) is going to be costing you a ton of money.. mid 40's is what I've been hearing.

If I were looking at mid 40's, I'd be leaning towards an M35.

Being that this is a G forum, I am glad to see that everyone is being objective. All the cars listed are good cars in their own right. My reason for getting the G was that it was almost the perfect mix of performance and luxury. If that is what you are looking for, the G is your car!
i must say that i used to own a lexus es 300 before this (yr 2000) and it wasnt that nice interior..there leather is garbage..so i dont recomand the new lexus IS, because u need all the packages to make it nice such as navigation and what not..wood trim an all.
As for infiniti, dont buy one you will regret it in the end and in the winters also. The BMW 330ci i would only by the sedan, the coupe isn't anything special to give up 2 doors and traction control for. Its slow and not the best looking car either when stock. The A6 is a soccer moms whip I would not buy it at all..given the interior is nice If i was you i would truely buy a s4 for 50,000 its fast..beautiful exterior and colors to choose from...320 hp power plant v8...all wheel drive...4 door sedan..I understand where u are comng from with this question but believe me you will be so much more happier in the end with the s4 because it covers all your basis. The g35 is ok but it is poorly made and slow. just my opinion and i am not saying s4 because i want one so bad. It is truely one car that is better then the rest. word to the wise Japanese cars are cheap, poorly made, and not as strong as german engineering.

Why are you on a G35 forum bashing G35s? Just curious.
EDIT: Forgot to answer the question... Get the G!

i am not here to start problems with anybody, but I find that you are some what immature by your statement. The cool and obvious thing to say would be get a g35!!! there awesome i love it bla bla bla, but you people fail to realize that our cars arent the best. Maybe to you because you own one, but in reality when asked a question like this you have to stand back and answer it in a non biased way. So i just voiced my opinion in what I thought would be the best possible choice for him. but he hasnt giving his location his age or what he uses his car for so its hard to give him a good answer at this time.
