Need Help on buying decision

I'm deciding between these 3 cars:
2007-2008 TL
2007-2008 G35-G37 Sedan
2009-TSX 4 Cyl

Right now I'm driving an <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: inherit; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_6_0>Accord</NOBR> 2007 V6, please which one do you think will be a best buy taking in consideration best bang for the money, reliability, maintenance, confort and fun to drive?

Thanks

Luiz

Yep, test drive G37 sedan and TL then see which one you like better. I think the G37 is going to cost a bit more because it's newer (09+). They are both great cars.

You are in a G37 forum. The answers might be a bit biased.
But really, it's like this;

Size - If you're looking for something about the same size as the Accord but with more style and power, go for the TL. If size is irrelevant to you, moving on...

Power - If you feel the Accord has more than enough power for your needs, and want to save some $ on gas, go for the TSX. It's a very nice car with overall enough pep and very decent handling.

But if you're like me and you want to have as much power and fun factor as you can afford, get the G. I am assuming when you say TL, you don't mean Type S, because power-wise, it's about the same as the G, but I like the G much more.

Looks/reliability - All three look good in their own way, but only the TSX and the G have a fresh body design. The TL's body design been changed (and for the worst). Not sure regarding reliability.

Or just test drive all three and explore.

The truth is out there

If you haven't driven a 300 hp rear wheel drive then I would give the G a good test drive and see how you like the difference. Put the G through a serious test drive and I doubt you'll consider going back to a front-drive. AWD TL is an option, but otherwise the G is really another rung up the ladder in terms of performance and the overall fun factor.
Reliability for all those models should be very similar & very good.

if you base you decision off what other people say, that's a foul.

but I would go and test drive and just see what you like best, what suits you, etc. For me, it was the G no questions asked, but for you it may be different, or you may love the G like I did.

I upgraded from Accord 03 V6 to 09 G37..
You will not regret going to G37..
I don't know your reason going from 07 to similar year model, but if you owe the car, keep driving it for many years. 07 is consider a new car in my dictionary.

go with the RWD V6......you won't be disappointed. Plenty of room, and a very fun ride. My G makes me smile everytime I get in it.

ive driven all 3 of these cars, they are really all a little different. id say the acuras are a bit more reliable, the new tsx has better pick up that i thought it would. the 07-08 tl is very nice, probibly nicer than the new tsx. and the g37 is way faster, less mpg, and the interior materials are not as nice as acura, imo. but i think id go with the g37!

You should go to an Infiniti dealer and ask the same question. The level of bias would likely be similar to this board. You'll find a similar experience on enthusiast owner boards for the other cars you're considering, unless they are run by machines.

Test drive all of them and choose for yourself. Good luck.

Love my G and you might laugh at this, but the new 2011 Mustang GT seems to be a real contender~412HP/390ft.lbs of torque, Brembos, and an interior that Edmunds said is almost on par w/ Audi, all for about $35k. If Infiniti doesn't get their paint issue addressed when my lease is up I'll definately be looking for something else.
