Alright here is the deal… About 7 months ago I was up in the air over the Lexus GS350 or Infiniti M35x. I ended up purchasing the M35x… Great car I loved it. Well about 2 weeks ago I was tboned and the car is currently totalled… Now I am back to square one with which car to purchase. Yes I did the Infiniti thing but I am back on the Lexus now… And I can not decide which to purchase and time is running down can someone please give me any input possible I am open to any opinion…I appreciate it!! Keep in mind either one will be a 2008 or 2009

Personally, I like the M35x a better. The Lexus is more cushy and has a softer ride to it. The M35x feels more like a BMW with a stiffer suspension but a more responsive ride, which I like. The matte-wood interiors look great too.

M35x…

Why not get a 335 or 540 though?

or even an audi S4?

Can’t really go wrong with either. Both look great, drive great, are very reliable, etc. Go drive the Lexus and see how it compared to the Infiniti you owned. If you like it more, get it. If not, don’t.

Why rule out the others?

Right now I’d bet you can get a better deal on the Lexus, but be wary of any issues you may have. The Infinity is a nice car, but for what your paying, I’d always pick up a German auto. Just my opinion but German cars \>\> Japanese cars.

If you can manage a great deal on a lexus because of the recall fallout, I say go for that.

Well… I have checked out other cars, but i only prefer the styling and interior looks of the Infiniti or GS… I guess when I get to the auction ill buy which either doesnt matter any more either will work for me as long as it’s AWD and clean…

I love nyspeed

it’s basically, a ‘euro or bust’ mentality when it comes to luxury cars.

The infiniti is a really nice car.

I would wait. Toyota is hinting at “bold” incentives to get customers in cars.  
The fastest way for a used car to depriciate is new car incentives.  
Just my opinion.  
I enjoyed my dad’s GS400 back in the day. Fast in a straight line and great interior but poor braking and turning. I have heard they got a lot better since then in those categories though.
