But, if I had to choose, I'd go with the Benz. The Infiniti G-35 is nice, but the Benz looks even nicer. Now, if you throw the Infiniti G-37 coupe into the mix, I'd go hands-down with that. Either way you go, you're going to be driving a p---ymobile.

A lawyer and a financial wiz? Plus a Skins fan? You're like the smartest man alive.

Expensive cars are generally a very poor financial decision, indeed. It only makes sense to lay out the cash for them after you've bought a home, laid out a savings plan for retirement (or come to grips with working until the day you die), laid out a savings plan for college education (if you got kids), laid out a savings plan for a wedding (if you've got any female kids), and done anything else you'd rather have than an expensive car (finish your basement, renovate your kitchen, etc.).

Then again, it's not a decision about making sense. It's an emotional decision. I'd go with a Lexus.
