LOL! But seriously, all I can say here is that you're reading that wrong. I thought your "simply dominates" comment was over-the-top funny, and that's that. Honest injen, buddy.

I seem to recall the S4 being a bit pricier than a G, evidently great value. Here's a nice quote from an R&T test: "...the headaches caused from needing our 6-speed manual transmission to be replaced at only 16,000 miles (due to a reverse gear glitch) and being temporarily stranded on the road at 22,000 miles by a failed thermostat (draining all the coolant from our engine) would have us definitely reevaluating our investment, had we been the actual owners of this otherwise excellent midsize sports sedan."

Sorry to see the aftermath of your accident. But it's worth looking back (literally) and seeing how the well-engineered crumple zones, seats, headrests and restraints kept you from serious injury. You were only a sitting duck for that distracted driver, but your G gave it up to keep you safe and allow you to walk away. Start looking for the next ride? Maybe we should thank the one that's leaving for the salvage yard. It's something we take for granted far too easily in this day and age...

It might be eventually restored and sold with a salvage title to someone else. I don't think they part out all totaled cars.

Hey guys, I agree that S4 looks like a lot of fun, but I don't seem to find a lot of inventory in my area, at least with the options I would prefer. New S4 is significantly more expensive than G. And a 2 year old S4 is basically a price of well equipped brand new G.
So I am not ruling out a 2013 G at this point, with a short to medium term lease. This will allow me to see how Q50 will work out once it is available.
Decisions, decisions....

Somebody a few posts back suggested a short-term lease on a disposable car, while you wait for the Q50... or whatever. Good advice.

It sounds like we are somewhere else besides an Infiniti forum. The S4 is a nice ride but significantly more costly and it has been updated for 2013 but its still not that much better than the G in any category. I would wait till the Q50 comes out, its supposed to have a lot of Formula 1 input. If the current G is able to still hold its own against refreshed and updates 335's and S4's after being out this long, I'm pretty sure the next one is gonna kill em
