uh...maybe cheapest of the luxury brands.

I'd take a used g35 over a kia sorento anyday. or lincoln towncar or jeep liberty or mitsubishi lancer.

 

Did you just compare a lincoln towncar to a G?

Has a G hit 600k Miles yet? No.

Towncar FTW.

 

Nope, you are not the only one. Even though my closest dealership is a 4 hour drive each way, they've been awesome to deal with. No complaints whatsoever.

And yeah, this survey is nothing but horse ****. I am guessing that the majority of households wouldn't even know what an Infiniti is.

 

Funny you say that, i've had talks with random people about cars and typical conversations end up like this:

me: Yup, Infiniti is owned by Nissan
them: Ha, i told you they weren't luxury. You're just paying extra for the name
me: I don't mind, to me it's still a Nissan, regardless of price. I just like the car, that's all. And i like Nissan. You could say the same about Acura/Honda, Toyota/Lexus.
them: What? No way, my Lexus is a Lexus. It's a luxury brand unlike Infiniti's which are Nissans (Or, replace Lexus with Acura)

and it goes downhill from there...

 

I find it funny that when people ask me what kind of car I bought and I say Infiniti G37X, mostly a blank look comes over their face. Then they say who makes it. But I am in small town Nova Scotia. It just seems to be a not very well recognized brand name, which is not bad. I like having a car that isn't on every street corner. Last car, An A3 was the same way, I had the only one in this part of the province.

 

HAHA @ soundmike

Yeah, I've had a few conversations like that so I've had to school people on auto makers.

As for the dealerships, there is Team Infiniti and Team Nissan of Oxnard about 10 minutes from my house. They are right next to each other and owned by the same guy. Both places are awesome, but I go to Team Infiniti for all my service because the service manager is wicked cool and does his best to make sure every one is taken care of.

 

^lol just had a convo just like this in the wendy's drive through...

honda runs in nascar?

 

I took Quantitative Methods in college through my major (Geography).

Basically we learned about statistics and surveys. First thing our professor told us is you can make any study or survey portray any information you want.

LOL one of the biggest factors is presentation. You can ask the same question but word it differently and get a totally different response for a participant.

Not saying Inifniti is the best or worst company out there, but when I see a study/survey (about health, living, cars, whatever) I usually take them with a grain of salt

 

Again this survey is based on peoples "perception" of the brand.
The majority still "perceive" Toyota as a top brand. They do make cars that are reliable. Ask any mechanics and current owners.

 

Minus acceleration pedals

Sorry couldn't help myself...

 

Yep, even after that, people still think highly of Toyota.

 

I personally have not had a good experience with Infiniti. Their customer service is terrible and their corporate people arent helpful. On the other hand i have never had any problems with Lexus or Honda.

 

i love my infiniti .. never really needed the dealership much ..

i do most maintenance myself .. or private mechanic ..

as far as surveys . this one .. blahhh .. they dont mean jack 2 me ..

 

not yet, but 3 of the top 4 do, get it? anyways it was a joke smart guy

 

It means a lot to corporate I bet.
