I sold out to the Japanese a month ago when I traded my '96 C280 Sport for an Infiniti G35. The G is no doubt a well built car and has loads of modern amenitites. But I gotta say, the car has no souls. It is like driving any run of the mill sport coupe. When the warrenty runs out in 5 years, I will trade it in for another MB, preferably a CLK. Once you drive a Benz, it's in your blood. Glad I still have two to fill my veins
