I guess if your job keeps you off I-15 or I-15, or you happen to drive the opposite way during rush "hour".

meh, I could never buy a mt. At least inland, the I-15 is a mess starting around 2:30/3pm through 7pm. Everytime I venture to the coast, the I-5 seems to be about the same. I don't go that often during the 3-7 slot though. Although, once this construction is complete, might make it ok.

I know a lot of people who feel the same way. I just couldn't do it with the traffic we have.

not regularly, last time I played racquetball (~2 years ago) was at the 24 hour fitness in carlsbad. Only 24h fitness in the county with a racquetball court IIRC.

Only possible downside I see: Premium fuel and 19 / 27 mpg (with all that performance you'll probably get below 19mpg with a lead foot). If you can live with that, go for it!

Thats why I went with an Audi in the 2.0T variety. Pep plus GREAT mileage even if driven hard.

I drove both...the TL felt kind of slow to me. 0-40 was pretty quick, 40-80 felt kind of slow. I didn't consider a Lexus because it screams old and boring to me. I did test drive a 335xi and that was a pretty sweet car...but for 15k more than the G35 with the same options it was a no brainer. Also, the 335xi interior is garbage compared to the G.
Also other features like the pushbutton start and the hard drive pushed me towards the G35.
I just bought a G35s 6MT...the wait for delivery is killing me 60 days...I'm looking at hte mid to late July time frame.
Also, as far as gas, I drive a V8 Grand Cherokee that gets 12 miles per gallon (supposed to get 16 but I'm a leadfoot) so anything is an improvement. 1 mile per gallon more in the city isn't going to sway me towards something with better gas mileage.

Nav and premium. Got it for 34900...I think I could have gotten lower because there's a dealer incentive on it right now.
You should shoot for dealer invoice including D&H.

Looks pretty good. The only other comparable car that I would suggest is the BMW 328xi because it's only $2K more and comes with AWD.
