I don't much care for the G35, but I know I am starkly in the minority here. In any event, congrats and good luck with the new car!

I'm not saying that Infinitis aren't reliable, but I don't believe that Nissan/Infiniti has reached the level of reliability that Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura have. First of all, J.D. Power is hardly the only arbiter of reliability, and even they show that Nissans are much less reliable than the others.

Also, since someone brought up the J.D Power rankings, let me mention this: their "long-term" reliability ratings are based on the number of "problems" in three-year-old cars. I am not particularly convinced that how well a car holds up for three years is highly predictive of its long-term reliability. Just as importantly, how useful are these rankings if they don't discriminate between different types of problems based on severity? For example, BMW's rating is not much worse than Toyota's...but if 60% of the "problems" with BMWs are serious engine problems, and 60% of the Toyota "problems" are, say, hatch rattles, it's obvious that J.D. Power's "long-term reliability ratings" don't mean much.

Just my two cents on the subject. Sorry for the hijack.

But they have infinity ABOVE Toyota....

I should damn well hope so. See: average price of an Infinit vs. average price of a Toyota.

yea, lol, where did THAT come from. he never said anything bad about the tC. but, if you ask anyone on these forums, maybe with the exception of you, they would all get a g35 if they could afford it.

Don't assume. Many people like G35s, but I am not one of them.

...the more I considered it, the more g35s I saw. Seems like everyone and their mother, and brother, and sister had one.

It does seem like just about every G35 I see is driven by a middle-aged woman...

Nissan's reliability ratings have declined in recent years, but the company still has a good reputation for reliability.

Side note -- how the hell did you put 275,000 miles on a car in 2 years?
