Not a bad choice at all, but be prepared for the ridiculously high maintenance costs, compared to other German cars, Japanese, etc.

I am not sure where you got the 10,000 more part. Problem for me with Acura's is they don't make a model I like. Too many front wheel drive cars. They don't perform like the Infiniti's and they simply don't offer the same extras.

I drove the Audi's. They are very nice. Problem is the dealer was rude to my wife and she's vowed to never ever buy an Audi. So the odds of my ever getting an Audi are basically nil.

Even though I'm a homer nothing has come close to my Infiniti. I mean the first time I got in one (a friend's), I felt an immediate difference.

I just love my car.

I have not driven an Audi but I've driven nearly everything else within reason. The newer model Audi's look very, very nice.

I did not like the Acura I drove.

After our most recent round of Infiniti purchases my wife says to me "I don't know why we'd ever buy anything else but Infiniti". She's sold for life.

You guys are making me happy because I just heard Infiniti will be finally selling in Australia in 2012 which is about when I'd be due for my next car.

According to the article it said that if Infiniti sold well here then it would probably open the way for Honda to bring Acura here as well.

If we want a luxury car here now's its basically BMW, Merc, Audi or Lexus so more options is a good thing.

I would highly recommend getting behind the wheel of one. Personally, I like the M series as I like luxury/sport over a pure sport feel. I'm a little above average in height (6'3") and I am very comfortable in the car. It has all the extras I could ever want. All the attention to detail in the vehicle is incredible. Okay I'll shut up about it now...

I test drove the G and thought I was in a race car, which just isn't for me!

All this car talk is making me sooooooo impatience!

The G37 is no joke.
