New Car? Help me decide

Well in a few months I am about to start a new chapter in my life. For the first time i will have a full-time career that will allow me to have a substantial amount of extra money. Anyways i will be moving to southern California and somehow i doubt the mustang is going to work real well as a comfortable dd with traffic being what it is down there. With my new career i will be making a 250 mile drive weekly for six months straight and i would like something that makes the distance slightly more enjoyable. So, i'm looking into one of several new cars. Help me decide.


First is a 2003-2005 Infinity G35 coupe



Second is a 2007 chevy trailblazer SS


My other options are to avoid traffic and save some gas, so im debating whether i want comfort or speed.

2007 kawasaki zx-6r


And the last is a 2007 suzuki gsxr 750



i have moderate riding experience so that is not an issue. Any other suggestions welcome.

not interested in ANY sport compacts.......if I decide to get a car it will be something comfortable. Power is important as is mpg in the car but comfort is the main purpose.

Go for the M35. It's got the same drivetrain as the G35 but it's more styled towards luxury.

very much so, they are just not exactly what i'm looking for. The seats are somewhat hard racing seats and thats doesnt feel well with a 3 and a half hour drive each way once a week.

Same problem as the sti.......not comfortable. If i go for a car im looking for something with speed and comfort for example : acura TL,G35, 300c (i want a 300 but the gf hates that idea). Hell i've even been debating a 96 Impala SS

Yeah kinda. They serve their purpose well but they lack the features that i am looking for. Thats the main reason i like the g35 is because it is fast, good looking, and has all the bells and wistles (full leather, heated seats, aluminum dash accents/woodgrain)
