G35 coupe is nice, but those go from 33K to 23K in 2 years. Terrible depreciation.

BMW, audi, and VW will be in the shop a lot, and $$$ for repairs. (esp. the VW)

TL is nice, but is more of an old fart car. G35 sedan is nothing special, and there are 90 billion of them.

Get a used STI, Z, or a used G35 coupe, after the initial loss.

Friend has a TL-S....nice cars!

I'd rock the TLs before I would the G35.

Not sure what I would get with that kind of money.....probably lease a new 3 series coupe but I know that isnt one of your options

I say get a used GS300. Those motors last you forever and also ppl either boost the n/a motor or just swap it for a 2jz-gte which would make a nice M5 killer

why would he get a Z if he wants more space...? might as well keep the s2k if thats the case.

and although i love the sti/evo i dont think id consider them in the luxury department.

To me G35's look real plain and boring, you see them everywhere.

I would get the TL-S in a heartbeat, sure its FWD but its more of a chillin car, not like your gonna go auto-crossing in a TL... Looks amazing too
