Damn, you're right.

Ok, buy the Lexus if you don't mind RWD.

Know. Bee.


I would go for the BMW personally , the Infinity is just a more expensive Nissan, and the Lexus is just a Toyota.

well,
the lexus wont be out for a few more months with the bigger engine (350), not even sure if you can buy the is250 yet. the bmw 330xi or 325xi would be the old body because the awd doesnt come out for another year probobly ?(just releasing 330i now) and by the way the 325xi is an abosolute dog, way too slow espeically if youre coming from an evo.so that leaves you with the g35x. i have driven the g35x and the rwd versions. both are awesome cars but you cant get a stick in the x, but besides that its an awesome car, very classy and very reliable with a great engine. its not as fast an an evo, but then again non of the cars you have listed are. maybe you could also look into the a4. no awd yet but i think those come out sooner than either the new lex or bimmer, so that could be an opton as well. i drove the new 2.0 fwd just to see what it was like and its a very nice car. hope that helps.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these as far as quality goes. I would get the BMW if it were my decision.

My IS300 was useless in the snow. I didn't even leave home, because my tires would spin the moment I put it in reverse in my driveway. That's how bad it is on stock tires. On snow tires, it's supposed to be better, but I never tried it...I went ahead and got my MR so that I would never have to deal with RWD in the snow again, but then I found that the Advans are like ice skates in the snow due to the soft rubber, so I have to use a set of rims/tires separately for the winter anyway.
