2011 G37 compared to 2009 Acura tl

Hey guys I am trading in my 2009 4.8lxdrive Bmw x5 and am looking at a
2011 g37 sedan and a 2011 G37
Used 2011 Infiniti G37 One Owner For Sale in Rocky Mount NC - Moonlight White - NAD2567 - (866) 763-7045 Capital Ford

and 2009 Acura TL for sale in Rocky Mount - 19UUA86289A010354 - Davenport Honda

The acura has a bigger engine at 3.5l but has 58k miles on it. The upside is the honda dealer is giving a lifetime warranty on the engine and transmission. The G37 looks to be a turned in lease.

The G37 is almost out of warranty. Ive owned bmw's and am tired of the expense of maintance down the road.

The G37 is 22,700
The TL is 17,900

How is the G down the road far as maintance. Can a toyota dealer do it or will I have to pay out the ****?

The acura engine is not bigger as we have a 3.7. Also, if performance is any where near the top of your criteria then the G all the way. Better handling dynamics (RWD vs. FWD), faster, and sportier to boot.

If a smooth ride with nice creature comforts is on the top of your list, along with the budget then you'd probably be better off in the acura.

Both are pretty darn reliable so that's a wash there but you do seem intrigued by the lifetime engine warranty (never heard of such a thing).

Good luck.

basically if you come to the dealer for oil changes, they will warranty all oiled moving parts in the engine. A lot of the dealers around here off lifetime warranties. Im looking a car I can drive for a long time 5 years and actually pay off lol. And one that doesn't robe me down the road.

can you get the G with lifetime warranty on engine and tranny? If you can go for the G it has more to offer.

The Acura is FWD, with 50 less HP and noticeably slower that the G you're looking at. Plus, it has that dumb shield on the front end that looked outdated the moment it was released.

You've not said what it is you want in a car, but if you're asking people on a G forum which one they'd pick... Srsly

The TL SH-AWD, now that's an Acura worth considering.

I just wanted to reiterate what was already pointed out.
The G37 has a larger (not smaller) engine and is rear wheel drive.
It's a sports car.

The Acura is a nice car that's sporty, but it's not a sports car.

Decide which of these platforms most appeals to you.

A Journey sedan is most definitely not a sports car.

You're a tease, LOL. 4DSC is just a marketing campaign.

The G is just as much not-a-sportscar as the Maxima is.

I agree, it's at least 1 step closer than the Maxima, and maybe 2 steps closer than the Acura mentioned in this thread.

Don't argue with the sticker

Both come with a granny approved slush box. Hmm, my mom might like it.

Both the G and TL at least offer a 6MT

I wouldn't argue about sport sedan moniker, especially in S (or SH-AWD configuration) but a sports car....nope.
