Truong...sorry to say, but that's just not accurate...I'm looking at prices and values..Lexus, infiniti, and acura all seem to be holding steady in terms of price....the drops do not favor either of the three

[TimDJ84]

I disagree..I have been shopping cars and have noticed no signs of poor build quality in the g35 ....I am looking at Acura, BMW, Lexus..etc and I'm still leaning towards the infiniti

just recently baught a TL 6spd much better build quality than the g35's i looked at with fading/chipping interior and exterior. and there was no noticable difference in acceleration. The TL rides 10x better and is fun as hell to drive to be honest i could give a shit if theres little to no aftermarket backing or if i lose a race to a g35 because at the end of the day my car is a overall better car. ive owned several very fast nissans and hondas now im looking for a nice car thats also fast.

I own a 6 speed base tl. He's right. A few things kill this car. Curb weight, fwd, sohc, torque steer, terrible low end power, and the gearing is long. BUT, with a little help it does make it fun to drive. I am fully bolted on and about 3100lbs after the weight reduction. Yes it does suck that our aftermarket support blows and just to keep up it'll cost us out the ass.. But it's different. It's only manufactured in NA, and it's not every day you see one modded. Don't trip about what cars better

[truonghthe]

why the fuck everyone has to be oh Acura is better because blah blah vice vversa, if you like acura or infinity or lexus there is nothing else can change your opinion about that vehicle. Infinity and Lexus does have the HP/TQ advantage over the Honda/Acura AT MOST OF THE TIME but in the other hand lets take a look at used car value after 5 years later. Lexus and Acura will hold it value meanwhile infinity drop like crazy.

I hate this move to hybrid sports cars. I would have killed and paid out the ass for a 200+ hp vtec crz with a redesigned front end and still will. When will Honda let The Power Sports, sports bike divisions' principles and design philosophies merge into there sporty car offerings. I mean when it comes to bikes they never compromise but there cars of late are total shite. The company made a 50-60mpg Crx HF for f's sake but can't get more than 38 mpg's out of the CRZ.. FAIL. Throw in a gaser

The tl won? Type s?

I dont know why its so damn hard for you honda fanboys to accept the facts.

Recap: G35 =More Horsepower, More Torque, Better Drivetrain (RWD puts power to the ground better) , More Aggressive Gearing, Less Curb Weight...

Aftermarket: There is no comparison, because the TL is made in the states.

While there is over a dozen Turbo/Supercharger setups from every JDM Tuner for the VQ35, and 10 times as many bolt-ons as well. People tend to leave most TL's stock in fear of the ECU retarding timing.

Dont get me wrong, as much as i love the NSX, the NSX didn't fail because of its performance, it failed because of its price point. According to Honda the lackluster sales killed the NSX..

It was by far the best DOHC naturally aspirated engines honda has made to date.

Their current line up is garbage

But for 30 grand less you could buy a MK4 Supra or R33/34 GTR at the time, which would pretty much rape the NSX on every track and with just a boost control/tune would be making well over to 500whp.

I have extensively driven a TL and its a boat to say the least.

To pass anoyone on the freeway, you have to be at redline for the damn thing to move.

TL has no torque(balls lol) and it makes most of its power after 6000 rpms, even then it falls short due to its FWD drive train and horrible gearing.

Go check Motortrend, Caranddriver, Roadandtrack, i guess most of them had freak G35s or they forgot how to drive when they hopped in the TL. lol

Every single publication has the G35 molesting the TL.
