For some time I went back and forth about which car to purchase and in the end it came down to these factors when purchasing my 2009 Infiniti G37S

1) The interior is light years more impressive in the G than the Camaro
- high quality materials are used in the G; the surrounding "etched" metal is infinitely more rich than the plastics surrounding the Camaro cockpit - Chevy should be embarrassed with things like the plastic casing of the gear box.

2) It has more HP than the V6 Camaro and pretty much the same torque - now if you are talking the V8 - you win that one.

3) My cost was around $33K for a loaded-up G37S with navigation and rear camera - yes, it had a few miles on it but its tech features crush those found in any current Camaro.

4) Resale - at this moment, the Camaro is holding up nicely - the key phrase: at this moment. It has already begun to take a dive as more and more flood the market - have you noticed that most dealers have several on their lots now? By next year, the value will have dropped 30% or even more in the car - the Infiniti will drop 10%, if that.

5) The G37 is simply a more refined & classy car - the Camaro might be able to get to that level one day but until Chevy fixes huge mistakes like the non-raising passenger seat and the very poorly designed paddle shifters - it's stuck in the late 90's.

I could go on and on but at the end of the day, the G37 is better bang for the buck and a more refined ride that provides the same level of excitement as the Camaro - a much smarter buy.

Have at it.
