Goodbye to Infiniti

Well, I've been a loyal Nissan fan for many many years now, starting with a 2000 Maxima, 2002 Maxima, 2005 G35 Coupe and most recently just said goodbye to my 2008 G37 Coupe. In desperate needs of a bigger car (sedan), my hopes for a redesigned G sedan didn't come as soon as I had anticipated.

So, with that being said...I decided to go to the dark side and buy a Lexus. Can't say I miss driving manual, yet! Hopefully I'll come back to Infiniti in the near future, I loved my G. 4.5 years of ownership and never had 1 major issue.

Should have gotten an M .... offers more than the Lexus for the price except mileage. But you have a 5 person sedan that can still do 0-60 in 5.9. Good luck with the Lexus, it's a quality product but I'll put my M interior with Touring package up against any of the big luxery brands sedans.

That nice fascia comes at a cost though, it's not stock (on lower models) .... I priced out the Lexus while evaluating my sedan options.

Edit: I see the 2013 offers some excellent performance with acceptable mileage. Nice .... enjoy (don't get too soft)

Congratulations! Don't know much about Lexus but as long as your happy that's all that matters. What's the after market performance parts like for Lexus?

from what i hear, zero to none, a drop and wheels is all that car would need (if this is something you like or have done before)

Thanks all, so far the Lexus has been a dream to drive...some of the most comfy seats I've ever sat in!

Yeah, the performance parts are hard to come by for the Lexus. But, that's not an issue for me since I like to keep it stock and clean.
