Infiniti G35x or M35x or Lexus GS300?

After having had two BMW 5s and an Acura MDX, I'll soon be ready for a
new car. The 5s were fine, but even though the latest version has an
AWD option, I don't like the styling. I want AWD, but don't need the
bulk of an SUV, the expense of replacing SUV brakes or the cost of
fueling an SUV. I've narrowed down the choices to the three models
noted above. I like the quiet of the Lexus GS and the apparent value
of the G35x, which is close to the GS in interior room, but may offer
far better value. Whether the M35x offers enough more for a higher
price remains to be seen. I'm looking for the best overall package at
a monthly lease cost under $725 (nothing down, 36 mos.) I may or may
not get the built-in navigation system, but would add few options. All
suggestions greatly appreciated.

Huge price diff between the AWD GS and G35X. GS is almost 50 grand. The
M35 has a higher-quality interior versus the G35 but is also on the
expensive side. The Lexus is nice but it will be old news when it gets
upgraded to the 3.5L V6 next year (GS350).
