Which is better 2006 Acura TL or 2008 Infiniti G35x?


I own a 2008 Infiniti g35x and I've been looking to do a trade in for a 3rd gen. Acura tl (2004-2008 model years). There is one in great condition at a dealership in my area that I will check out tomorrow. I want to do a trade in because I do not like the driving dynamics of the G35x. It's too harsh and unrefined to really excel as a daily commuter. I do not care about extreme sportiness, I really want a smooth ride with with some luxury amenities here and there, and maybe a dose of sport. I also want something with more interior and trunk space.

Some reviewers praise the 3rd gen. TL for it's smooth ride and compliant handling, which is exactly what I want in a car. However other reviewers knock the TL for being FWD and being prone to understeer and torque steer. But I don't care about that stuff. It's not like you can speed and tear around corners in an area with mostly highways and heavy traffic anyway, so understeer and FWD layout isn't a concern to me. I've driven numerous FWD Honda's in the past, and while they may not grip the road quite as well as my G35x, I just preferred the handling. They handle the roads in a very smooth, relaxed, and compliant way, which is why I was thinking about making the switch from an Infiniti to an Acura. What do you think.
