What do you think?
Just to let u know where I sit. I'm coming off a 2013 Infiniti g37xs that was just totaled. I'm looking at a 2016 Audi A4, Honda touring coupe or Acura tlx. Haven't driven anything yet. I want to drive the a4 because I heard that I would like it a lot more than the others, but not sure it would b $10,000 better than the accord. Does anyone have any experience with any of these?
I'll keep everyone posted with what I think.

An ex g37x owners opinion
I got my 2011 A4 after my 2009 Infinity g37x. I have not regretted it for any reason. The only problem is that I can't necessarily recommend the 2016 A4 because it will be a short year and be replaced with the B9 2017 A4 which you will grow to regret not waiting for. I would recommend a used 2011-2012 A4 and waiting for the new 2017.
The other choices I could not recommend.

Currently drive a Honda Civic. lacks soul, power, and anything resembling fun to drive. And I've driven Accords in the past, and they are similar and bigger. However, it is the most reliable car I have ever driven and maintenance is peanuts. Just brakes, tires, and oil changes for years. The new 2017 line of Audi A4/S4 is so amazing, I am waiting and buying new.
I have only ever bought slightly used cars my entire life -- balance of depreciation and still having warranty, so buying new isn't something I take lightly.
Obviously having totaled your car, you cannot likely wait for the new ones to come out. I nearly bought a used 335i/435i GC and overall prefer them over the current Audi S4... but that would translate to a 328i being equivalent to an A4. I would recommend driving both and seeing which one you like. Both are great cars, and used BMWs seem to go a little cheaper than equivalent Audis, perhaps it's regional, but there are also way more BMW's on the market and the road.
Good luck!

Greg, welcome aboard!
If you seek a great driving experience, the Germans still offer the most engaging piece. If you focus on "reliability" and the ultimate gas 'n' go, no-hassles experience, buy an Asian car.
