A Rav is a great daily driver but that is not what I am looking for.

No way, you are telling me that there are actually some people on an Infiniti forum that owned BMW's in the past, but like their current Infiniti better? I find that hard to believe.

I don't doubt some people have switched from the 335i to the G37, but I would say it is a safe bet that just as many people have switched from the G35/37 to the e92.

You are in the minority if you think the G37 is a better all around car than the 335i, but then I am sure you can find a handful of people on the Infiniti forum who agree with you. The 335i is the benchmark, not the other way around.

Besides, the new G37 is very feminine looking and is nothing more than a glorified Hyundia Tuburon.

If you go over and browse the G37 forums, you will see that many people there decide between the G37 and the 335i. The 8k price difference is not justified on a car with a cheap plastic interior and an outdated idrive technology. Plus 335i's are everywhere. I see them as much as I see Chevy Malibus.

Please do not try to tell me that you see more 335i's (especially e92's) than G35/37's. For every 10 of those I may see 2 or 3 335i's and I live in an area where BMW's are everywhere.

So the Infiniti is better becase it is cheaper? Is that what you mean? It is not a better car, but because it is cheaper it is more bang for the buck?

That is where we differ. I am not interested in I-Drive, navigation or any other BS technology. I am interested in how the car feels, handles, accelerates, brakes and so on. Those are the important things, IMO and BMW trumps Infiniti when it comes to those things.
