Still not up to Audi standards. But then again, even Audi interiors are not as good as they were in the B5.
(Yes, I am still pining for my '98 A4.)

I test drove the '07 G35 and I loved it. No manual/AWD combo was what convinced me to stay with the Audi family. But since you're shopping auto trannys, then that's not a concern for you.

Although the two cars play in the same field, they are totally different. So you really need to ask yourself what you're looking for in a car.

Since I bought my '06 my wife and I bought a house. And I really wish I had gotten a wagon instead of a sedan -- would be helpful for all those trips to Home Depot. That said, I probably should have kept my '98 as my "fun" car, and gotten something more utilitarian as a second car.
