Infiniti, hottest line of cars?
#16
And NO. With the exception of the G and the FX, Infiniti has the most boring car design. As with many Japanese and Korean manufacturers, Infiniti is trying hard to copy the European competitors. However, unlike the Lexus, which pride itself to compete directly with the Mercedes, Infiniti has no such tactic.

I bet gas milage isnt far off either considering how pathetic our amazingly tiny engines fuel economy is (what the hell is up with that?! Whats the point of a small engine if it sucks the gas down like a big one with more power?)
As for sedans and SUV's infiniti has, I dont know...I personally think infiniti has some of the most uninspired looking cars on the road right now aside from the G35 Coupe.

I am not ditching the G, but think it is almighty superior is just wrong. Any man made machinery will have some form of imperfections. Let's face it and accept the truth.

i would agree with most listed, especially G35 Coup. however, i def. do not agree on G35 sedan beating out Acura TL, bmw 3, and Lexus IS. all those listed are way better cars and way better looking. if you havent noticed, there are alot more TL on the street than those fugly G35 sedans.
no offense to those G35 sedan owners, but the coupe is one of the sexiest car on the road, yet, they made the sedan so .. well, not sexy!
TL is very mature and good looking. the interior is WAYYY better than the G...besides its FW..everythign else on that car is better. i would pick a TL over the G35 sedan any day..and they are pretty similar in pricing too!
as for BMW and Lexus, well, they are alot more expenisve, but you get what you pay for. they built better, especially those IS..their interior is light years ahead of the Gs.. the exterior is also better looking than the G sedan!

I have none(knocking on wood )The important thing is the Infiniti are taking steps to fix problems and they do seems trying to improve their products, one example, the brake dust on my 03 was just impossible to keep the wheels clean for more than two days, I dont have that problem with the 05s, but look at BMW? the brake dust on my 06 M3 are as bad as the 03's G, to say that "Infiniti is one of the worst in terms of fit and finish." it just isnt true.

Brake dust issue can easily be solved by using different brand with harder compound. It has nothing to do with fit and finish.

The G is an entry level luxury sport coupe, priced way below competitors yet loaded with all the goodies, if not more. How do you think they sell a car and still make money?. They have to cut corner somewhere, and quality suffers. It is just business. Pure and simple.

My G is the least expensive car, which I have purchased in the past some 20 years . . . All summed up, I can honestly say that my G has afforded me the best valve and I am quite pleased with this particular vehicle.
Edited: Viewing certain things from a negative nature can be quite prudent, at times. However, in general it simply leads to unneccessary hardship, as witnessed here on these boards. By thinking a bit more positively . . . We can all learn to appreciate what we have.

Andy,
I have no negative view on the G. I was just saying as the other guy did, that the G does has it's shortcomings. No different than any other manufacturer.
I think we all come to the conclusion that the G does give you more bangs for your bucks. But to say Infiniti has the most hottest line of cars? That I have to disagree.

The point here is not whether Infiniti worst off than others. It is too assumptious to say Infiniti is the best. My 0.02

Infiniti's an high end class. You tell someone you own a infiniti and they will ask you what you do for living. But i think ur wroge, the bmw 5 series will knock m45 when it comes to handling. I like the 5 series, and it looks soo much better then m45. M45 is nice sexy looking car but i just think the bmw kills m45.

When purchasing, i drove the bmw 330i, tl and is350 numerous times.
fwiw, wife found the tl ugly, didnt like it at all. It was one of my favorites since i liked its interior so much. She flat out said no.
bmw and is350, if the g35 didnt exist, i would have ended up with a 330i. When you start comparing price, there was no justification for the over 10k price differential in those cars. Gotta admit the bimmer drove much nicer, but no way it was worth that much more. And if you want to talk about reliability, i think overall i'll have less issues than a bimmer owner.
