Traded in my Scion tc, for a new G37 :)

I've been lurking on these boards for a few weeks now and I finally took the plunge trading in my supercharged flint mica Scion tc for a sweet black G37S. My tc was my baby, but after test driving the G37 I couldn't drive outta the dealership in the tc, the G37 is so amazing. Didn't plan on buying, just test driving for future consideration, LOL!!

The tc was a blast after I had the S/C installed, I had it put in about a year ago along with an Injen exhaust system. As fun as it was, the 40 extra HP outta the S/C was dissapointing, I guess I expected too much from it, thought it would be faster.
I have wanted more power, better handling, etc., etc., and figured it just wasn't worth it to begin shelling out more and more money into a $18k car. By the time I would be able to squeeze even close to 275 HP outta the tc I'd be into it for close to 30k, my warranty would be void, and it still wouldn't come close to the stock ride of a G37, not to even mention the differences in the interior, LOL!!

How was the dependability of that TC? I'm hoping my girlfriend will get one by the end of the year, I want her to get something reliable but with a lot of options that she wants.
