The comparison is from the Infiniti website, so it is obvious they are going to make themselves look good. The specs stated are facts, not that they altered anything and gave out false information, but they only compare whatever spec they have that's better than their competitors.

Anyone who knows their cars is going to shake their head at this comparison. Infiniti might as well put one of their selling points as "We have 11 colour options vs. BMW's 8" or whatever. Not saying the facts aren't true (which is not the case at all) but anyone who buys a car solely on THOSE paper specs is an idiot.
Looking at the G37 vs. 335i.. seriously, not everyone wants 19" rims. Myself included. I'm too cheap to pay 4x for the same diameter but lower-profile tires. Nor do I enjoy swerving like crazy to avoid potholes and speed bumps on a daily basis.
I also noticed that for the 335i comparison, they conveniently left out the prices for both vehicles, unlike the other comparisons. Hmm..

Yup, I didn't get 19's on my 335i because my car is a daily driver. The 19" style 230's look amazing but for daily driving 19's are awful.

Same with the G37 and 335 convertible comparison, even with additional power the G37 really isn't much faster if not slower especially in convertible form.
They really took the 4 or 5 things out of each of all these cars and said that they were better because of it. But most of the things are insignificant!
Every car will have advantages over other cars, it's whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages that will make it ON PAPER a better car. I'd take the twin turbo 6 over a VQ anyday,
They just used small "filler" details to determine their cars were better
I'm not saying infinitis/Nissans suck here, I'm just saying how poorly these comparisons show the advantages/disadvantages of these cars | that is true, g37 and g35 in terms of speed there really isnt any improvement in terms of 1/4 mile and stuff. Sure 37 gets a bigger engine with 30hp+ but it is also packed with more weight

its so flattering to see BMW all over their own website
Nice try Nissan 
in terms of driving excitement (and i find this relevant on this forum due mostly for all of its members share that outlook) the other three do not stand a chance. |
@@ wtf bmw came in first?
328 is pretty weak, it has like what? 230hp?
while G and TL both have 300hp, yet it comes in first? wow.
yes yes, power isnt everything but 230hp is really weak now in todays standard.
335i would be a better compairson

The G37 Sedan that is now out is quicker than the coupe. Infiniti is pumping the power up next year as well. The 3.7L V6 is going to be at 340 and 350hp.

Every since the first G35 sedan/coupe came out and took a chunk out of BMW bread and butter market, BMW have been upping their game and expanding their market like a mad man. However, lets not take anyway away from Infiniti, they make fine cars, but BMW just makes it better.

As much as i like the g35 i still would prefer BMW 335. never like the g37 so i left it out. VQ has the sweet sound but it's something about BMW interior which i like alot.

Neither has a nice interior but G's definitely feels cheesier and the switchgear is no good.
Bmw interior looks the same from 10 years ago XD but simpler and cleaner and classier

LOLOL good job comparing G37 coupe to A5 which is incredibly rare, y not 335?
This is just BS...
They really should have a regular comparison chart which would've been much fairer
There is no consistency in their comparisons besides their powertrain warranty which is 2 years more
Those cheats, never buying an infiniti after this... | Equally Bad.

Equally bad?
I'm 100% sure the trunk space is better because I have an X3 XD
The height is much better and is less slanted, much better for suitcases
Off road capabilities of both are garbage so who cares.
But the X3 is an incredibly sporty drive, but suspension is hard to live with for people who can't stand a sports car. Haven't Driven the EX before, but guaranteed the back seat and trunk is better in the X3
