The only thing BMW/Mercedes-Benz have in common with the Yugo is that all come from Europe.

doesn’t bother me in the least... When I first got it someone I worked with (at the time) said something about getting a car that was so "fancy" I said it's just a glorified Nissan. And really it is.

I think the ignorant ones are the people who think having it badged as an infiniti somehow makes it better. That was one of japan's greatest marketing ploys ever for the gullible american public

I don't know where this came from (a mag I suppose) but the 335i is in a class above the G... It smokes 'em at the track and is overall a better car.

Its not the badge tht makes it better, its the extra refinement that went into making the vehicle. I have both a 350z and G35 GMT Coupe, there are MAJOR differences in quality between the two.

LOL. This thread makes me laugh just like all the others like it. IT IS A NISSAN. Just like the Lexus is a Toyota. Who cares?
