If the Infiniti comes up short anywhere it's in interior perceived quality. As well designed as it is it doesn't quite measure up to the high quality of plastic materials used by either Audi or BMW, but doesn't miss by a long shot. It's easily better than Jaguar's X-Type and blows away the Cadillac CTS. While these cars aren't necessarily coupes, they offer anyone familiar with the various brands a measuring stick to judge the newcomer by. Perceived quality is one thing, while actual reliability is another. The Infiniti is among the world's best in this important category, one that has the German cars not fairing nearly as well. The Infiniti sales and service experience is also rated extremely high, making their cars as easy to live with as they are enjoyable to drive.
All said, like there are few four-doors that can compete with the G35 sedan there are even fewer GT cars that come close to Infiniti's new G35 Sports Coupe, especially when factoring in its price. The coupe's ability to exude grace under pressure is beyond anything in its class, BMW 330Ci included, while a bevy of standard features hardly leaves occupants wanting for more. Its beauty, well, in the eye of this beholder is beyond all competitors this side of $100,000. If it were my money, it would be on Infiniti's new coupe. It's that good.
