What's better? The G35 or the Audi A4

So far this year, Nissan Motor's (nasdaq: NSANY -news - people ) $31,000 G35--a premium nameplate--is outselling the cheapest car in America, General Motors' (nyse: GM - news - people ) Chevrolet Aveo compact, which starts at $10,000. The G35 is also outselling other non-premium GM cars you might expect to be higher-volume, such as Chevy's Monte Carlo and Pontiac's GTO and Vibe.

To be fair, few nameplates are as successful as the A4 and the G35. Both are critically acclaimed models that are handsome and fun to drive. Dealers like the nameplates because they offer variety: The G35 comes as a coupe or sedan, and the A4 comes as a sedan, wagon or convertible and has a hot-rod derivative, the S4, at the top of the lineup.

However, so far this year the G35 is making the A4 eat its lunch in the showroom. In the first five months of 2005, Infiniti sold 29,182 G35s in the U.S., while Audi sold 17,802 A4 and S4 models.

G35 utter crap you say but Car and Driver's folks says it belongs on the Year's Top 10 best cars list. Both G35 sedan and G35 coupe were on Top 10 best cars list.

I had no idea that a Go-cart comes out with a whopping 298 hp, either Billy!

Nice statement Amin! when you said "I'm not defending Nissan I'm just defending the world against ignorant statements of people that are not willing to accept reality." Perfect example of 001buster.
Not sure if his trying to convince himself or others now..lately his statements are showing his true colors though..Go check #31.
