New daily driver. Gave up on the Mini Cooper S mostly due to excessive road noise on distance runs. I'm in sales and on the bluetooth a lot. Road noise so bad I would wear out my voice yelling over the noise all the time.
Decided on something more practical, but sporty and reasonably quick. Checked out a lot of mid-level sedans and narrowed down to BMW 335i, Lexus IS 350 and Infiniti G37. Last stop was the Infiniti dealership. Sales guy was actually a normal chap (don't get me started on the MB guy). Walked in and saw the G37 Limited Edition Sedan (supposedly only 400 made world wide) in the center of the showroom. Done.
I know it's a Nissan, but only 400 made is a good thing to me. Won't see them all over town. Wheels are really nice, sport leather charcoal seats, paddle shifters, sport suspension, huge brakes, front/rear spoiler, Nav, etc. Still going a bit easy as it's still new, but holy schit this thing is all about acceleration and handling. Goes like a rocket when needed, but very quiet, comfortable and pleasant to settle into. Great stereo too. So far so good. Smitten...
