What Would You Get?
I'm thinking of trading in the Box for something else and I've been looking at 2 other cars. A pre-owned G35x Sedan or a new Dodge Charger SXT... 
I know what most of you are going to say since this is an import forum but I'd like to know the honest truth from you...

g35x over the charger sxt each and everyday of the week.
better everything.
the charger is heavy and under powered. to give you some perspective, my fully loaded 1995 ford explorer limited edition 4.0 liter v6 4x4 curb weight 4189 pounds.
the new dodge chargers weight MORE than that, freaking rediculous
infiniti is nicer, lighter, faster, better mpg, 5 speed auto versus 4 speed auto, awd is better than rwd for slick conditions if that matters to you.
infiniti also has great customer service.
the only way i would consider the charger is the hemi, and if i had some big people that would need the comfort of a big sedan.
and infiniti is just so much classier.

The G would probably be more suitable since I'm a Nissan Tech and I could get Infiniti parts "cheap". The Dodge Charger looks so damn good though... 
Oh well, it's a good thing I'm not getting anything now.

Geez... for so many reasons, choose the G35. The Charger, as drax said, is heavy and sluggish. If you're set on an American auto with nice lines and good performance (they claim), you might want to wait a couple months for the G8. But IMHO, I'd say take the G35.

^^^Maybe... 
If, and that's a BIG if, I get rid of it, I'm putting it back to "stock" and then I'll trade it in.
For some reason, I don't think I'll be getting rid of it. I really
the Box!
