RWD with an engine like the G35's can be "interesting" to say the least, if you are not used to RWD. Since you avatar indicates that you are accustomed to a mustang, the G35's feel may be more to your liking long-term. The FWD of the TL drives a little bit diferently, although I think you'll find it more than satisfactory long-term. As far as problems and maintenance go, FWD and RWD cars are inherently different in these areas. Your sig says you have both types, so you already know that . Acura has been having tranny problems lately, but they are more than happy to fix them for you. Nissan and Honda are both well-known for reliability and ease of care. Myself, I am about to drop $600 for my 45k mile service on an '02 TL... I probably would have chosen the G35, if not for the fact that at 6'6", I don't fit in any seat but the driver's one. I'm more than comfortable riding passenger in the TL if I have had a few drinks and my wife must pilot
