I see,

Mike - you mentioned that you liked the 330i sedan better than the G35C As far as handling wise (Given that both are base models)?

the G35C handles sharper and flatter than the 330i, but the front end feels very heavy. however the 330i > G35 sedan, which is softer than the coupe and comes with a less aggressive tire/wheel package (even with the sport option). i havent driven an E90 yet so no comment on that.

Drove the e90 fully loaded for a couple days (mar's uncle loaned it to me)

I've drived the g35 coupe and Speed wise, the new 330 has come a LONG way.

It is def. quieter, and feels VERY connected to the road. I heart the e90's new perfomance, but the g35 is too far behind.

Keep in mind, the 330i with premium and perf. packages will run you over 40.

Scratch that one out. Oh and don't bother with the 325i.

G35 coupe for the 2 door win.

The TL will also be more than 35 after taxes and misc fees.

The TSX is a great car which will save you bucks and is a good compromise. Also the IS250 can be had for 33,xxx as well as the new Audi A4 which is a great runner.

Most new cars won;t dissappoint. The TL gets my vote for cars under 36k.
