Realtors half-truths and full lies

FLU, I hope you know the AWD system in the G35 (soon to be G37) sedan is the same AWD system in the GT-R. Which means, w/out slip, you’re 100% RWD. Only when it sense slip does it start transferring power to the front wheels.

I do agree that Audi is starting to fix the overhang problem and the weight problem w/ the TT as well. Returning to bi-turbo in the S4 is also a great thing for them as well. I’m never a fan of Audi though.

I don’t agree with your competition analysis. Unless you’re referring to competition by power, then I agree. But I tend to compare them in price bracket instead. Which would make:

A4/A5 2.0T AWD -> C300 -> 328i/Ci -> G35sedan/G37coupe -> IS250
The base MSRP of these cars are $31-34k.

A4/A5 3.2L V6 AWD -> C350 -> 335i/Ci -> Nothing from Infiniti -> IS350
The base MSRP of htese cars are $36-40k.

What Audi did w/ the S4/RS4 is kind of odd in term of price because where the C63/M3/IS-F are priced similar to each other @ around $55k MSRP, Audi priced the S4/S5 @ $48-50k and RS4/RS5 @ $68k. So, while the current S4/S5 is still being spanked by the 335, it’s priced very close to the M3 range. I always find Audi to be the most over priced of the Germans. Maybe that’s why I like them least. There’s rumor of that Nissan is considering an Infiniti version of the GT-R, which would put it in the M3/C63/IS-F camp.

This is the reason why I got the G35 coupe, they priced the G in the 328/C300/S4 2.0T/IS250 camp but give the performance of the C350/S4 3.2/IS350.

In regards to maintenance, since it’s the same engine as all the other Nissan V6, I can bring it to Nissan dealer for maintenance if I want. I won’t get the “pampering”/loaner like @ the Infiniti dealer, but it’s also much cheaper.

I think a toyota camry is also an ultimate driving machine… what do you say guys? Any camry owners here?

My parents have 2 Camry, so I concur :-).

I'm going to guess your family is chinese. The question is, can you name any chinese family that has never owned own a toyota camry or honda accord some point in the past?

Ok, enough car talk. I really need to get back on topic. You win. I'll shut up now.

:-), sorry FLU, but I’m not Chinese and yes, my wife’s family never owned a Camry or Accord. :-D, but they did own a Maxima and Legend, so that can almost count.

Coming back to topic, I agree with the posters on here, real estate agent can say what ever they want. It’s up to each person to believe what they say or not. Just like the car talks, we all are right in our own eyes. Like every other commodity market that go up and down in cycle, on the way up, bears will constantly call top, while on the way down, bulls will constant call bottom.
