from the USA Today weekly car blog:

a writer asks:

Good Afternoon, Jim. My question is my lease is up on my 2008 BMW 528xi and I would like to trade down. My considerations are a Merecedes C class, BMW 3 series or InfinitiG37x. Each I know has there own good qualities but really which is the best vehicle all around. Thanks and have a nice day.

James Healey: Trick question, right? For my money, G37x all the way. Same answer I'm pretty sure I've given often in M-B, BMW, etc comparison questions. I prefer Infiniti's driving feel and its awd system, among other things. Doesn't have the snob appeal, perhaps, of a German brand, but the way it goes down the road is more important than that on my scale.

Hard to fault the G on much due to luxury and performance for the money.

trade down? LMAO

he seems to care more about the the BMW badge and oviously he cant afford the BMW if he has to "trade down"
