Q45, or 2001 Lexus GS300? They all have on or about the same mileage and they cost the same. The "Q" has factory nav! I'm stuck!

That Acura RL is the same car that came out in the mid-90's, with just a minor face-lift. It's old, bloated and front wheel drive, though I always thought the interior was pretty attractive- I think it was one of the first cars with a gated AT shifter.

The older Infiniti models are have maintenance issues, not to mention their ugly looks (older Hyundai front-end anyone?), poor handling/acceleration and marginal resale. A nav system from 2002 isn't going to be that great, especially from Infiniti...and, do you really travel in car that much?

That leaves the best for last, the Lexus GS300. Easily the best car of the bunch. Good looks, great reliability and resale value.

I would probably go with the infiniti because it's a little newer and the nav. Honestly these are all kind of family sedan cars they are going to perform about the same. My mom had a 3.5 it's a nice car but turns like a boat and the performance is meh...but it's a 1998 so probably fixed some of the numb steering and power issues. Then again...Infinitis do have iffy maintenance issues.

i would actually go with the lexus gs 300, its way nicer then the acura 3.5rl and the infinti q45 i think its a v8, so if u dont mind paying more for gas go with the q45 if not get the gs 300
