Aside from the seemingly strong bias toward the 9-5 (which I'm sure everyone here will enjoy) that was a great review. Nicely done.
I haven't driven the G35, but I have driven several luxury sport sedans from a BMW 535i with a stick, to mercedes, jaguar and a few pleasant runs in some older Porches. I've been driving an '02 Aero sedan stick for about 7 months now and roughly 9k miles. I'm very satisified. I practically look for reasons to go for a drive. I can honestly say that my enjoyment of this car has only increased with time.
It's interesting that you've noted that there was practilly zero turbo lag at rpms of 3k and up, but that you did notice it at lower rpms. There have been several threads here regarding turbo lag and, to my recollection, no one has yet pointed out the rpm factor. I've recently been thinking that that lag is really only present at the lower rpms as I rarely notice any turbo lag and I tend to run at 3k or better unless I'm cruising on the highway.
Any way, best of luck with your soon to be new car. I'm sure you'll enjoy either one, but if you're looking for input I feel very comfortable recommending the 9-5 whole heartedly.
Cheers,
Dave
