Have you guys seen the TL Type-S yet?
It's really nice.
Can you guys tell me whether it's worth it or not?
Mr b00st
no.

get a G35.

That way you have a Sweet V6, a good body, and the correct driven wheels.

Get the TL. Its a lot better value for money and more refined. If you are so interested in the correct wheeled drive car, get a 3 series.

The new Type-S is a real step down stylistically from the older models (in fact, all the '07 TLs are) and it just doesn't have what it takes to compete with BMW and Infiniti in terms of performance. If you have your heart set on a TL, the Type-S is the way to go (only way to get a 6-speed now), but I would take the G35 over it in a heartbeat and I don't even like Infiniti very much.

id much rather have a 3 series than a G35. both of which id take over a TL.

Get an STi.

No, I'm not Duke. But I'd get an RX8 with that kind of money, unless you live somewhere where it snows. Then I'd be hesitent to get anything that isn't FWD or AWD.

An RX8 is way to weak dude, in order for that car to run smoothly you probably need to waste money on modifing, but if your not a person that wants speed then maybe an RX8 would do. Besides it does have a nice body.
moe
The RX8 is plenty fast.

i've test drove one but opinions are opinions =)
Mr b00st
yeah a BMW is nice but a 328i gets mowed over by the G35 for the same price

and the new G35 is got a lot nicer interior than the old one.

It's probably not as great a drive as a 330i but i think if you're shopping the TL you're shopping a price point, to be honest.

If you don't mind the extra 2 cylinders, slightly worse fuel economy and manual transmission, get a used CTS-V. I've seen them with less than 20k miles and they run around 35k or 30k.
goota
If you are talking about 30 to 35k the obvious choice is a GTO.

edit: sorry its been a long day, ofcourse we are talking about 30-35k

im not a big fan of the redesign of the front. I like the foglight design of the current TL.
