My grandmother drives an A4 3.0 and I really enjoy driving it. She's had it for a few years now and hasn't had any trouble whatsoever. She's somewhat frugal, so I think I would have heard about it if the cost of maintanence was too high or it got poor gas mileage. As a daily driver and on the highway, the Audi is awesome - a perfect balance between sportiness and confort. I imagine that adding the larger-dispalcement V6 with FSI just made the vehicle that much better.
That said, the G35x has a wonderful reputation, as well, although I have no personal experience with them. I don't think you could go wrong with this pair.
Finally, I have another suggestion for you: Subaru Legacy GT. The new ones cost less than $35,000 fully loaded. Five-speed, leather, power moonroof, 0-60 in about 5.25. It would be faster and cheaper than the audi or the infinity whilst retaining most of the luxury items. I would highly, highly recommend that you try one out before you make your purchase. You will not be disappointed.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
