Default 2005 Infiniti G35 vs 2005 Lexus IS300

Ok so i'm torn between 2 cars, both look nice and can get decent power out of them. I know the lexus has a 2JZ-GE Engine inline 6 (Supra N/A) and the G has a VQ35de. That's about all i know, I deal with computers, and I'm just getting into cars. Which would you choose and why? Are there any pros or cons? Any help would be appreciated

everything can be swapped out for one or the other so it all boils down to d you want 2 doors or 4 doors.

for whatever my knowledge is worth, including being a lexus certified tech, i think the g25 sedan is a way nicer car than the is in any way imagineable.
also, its not really a true comparison due to size and stuff, g is closer to a gs in all fairness.

from a performance stand point, how does the is300 rate?

I drove one for like 5 minutes and didn't get on it or anything at all. It was a nifty car. Seems like it has potential. But I honestly know about 5 things more about them as david48 knows about anything.

they arent the fastest shit ever or anything, and neither is a g, but they have potential i guess.
id probably still advise anyone looking at either of those cars to buy an e46 330 bmw instead from a performance/handling standpoint.
