Default 04 TL Aspec or 05 G35 coupe

So I just sold my s2k because it wasn't practical and I barely drive it so I couldn't enjoy it. I currently found a 04 TL Aspec 6 speed 102k miles with no navi and got the price down to 10gs and saw a 05 G35 coupe fully loaded with 103k miles for 13gs. Both has only 1 owner and was well maintained. Which car would you guys prefer and please state your reasons. I need to make a decision soon before one of the cars sells. TIA =)

If you sold the s2k because it was impractical due to loudness, firm ride etc etc - get the Acura TL.
If you sold the s2k because it was impractical due to space constraincts - get the G35.

Basically, I'd get the G35 over the TL unless you're done with sports car for a while and want a change. I know the g35 is not a "sports car" but still.

G35 is basically the 350Z 2+2. For me, no contest whatsoever, I'd *much* rather have the rwd G35 over fwd TL.

The G35 coupe is actually comfortable on the back... there is a decent amount of leg/shoulder room but practically no head room...

Why? The FWD TL outhandles the RWD G35.

Comes as a revelation to me too, but the right FWD cars can utterly destroy some/most RWD cars.
