TRADED IN THE 08 g37 COUPE!
Hey guys, I had my Infiniti since Jan 2008, put about 55k on it, was paid off but I was ready for something new.
TO CLARIFY, i didnt buy this car because of GAS, I just wanted a new car. I love the Audi styling and wanted something comfy, and figured why not get a good MPG car since performance and Hp was not a concern.
With gas prices reaching $4+ I wanted something diff, less power better MPG and picked up a 2011 Audi a5 2.0t. So far I miss the G's power but love the awd and 27mpg average!
Going to miss the g37 community but I may be back with the next gen coupe!
Good luck to all you!
Below are some pics I took, one with an SLR, and the bottom with an iPhone 4.

That's an awesome car man. Definitely a step up. That 2.0 may be down on power, but it sure doesn't feel like it when you're driving around town. What options did you get on the A5? I see you got the Prestige (LED headlights), did you get NAV as well? Post up some more pics damn it lol

Depending on how much you drive, the gas savings is $50-$70 a month. Even after the trade your payment has to be $250/month. If you bought in cash you're definately missing out on more then $50 in interest a month on the money you could have invested. The gas savings is definately not an economical justification for the swap....
