It seems that with all the claims Infiniti keeps making with regards to more efficient engines and better fuel economy, they just can't shake lose the reputation of being somewhat thirsty cars. In this dept, the competition keeps leaving Infiniti in the dust.

I don't think 80% of the target would care that much about 0.5 to 1 secs in 0-60 or 1/4.
And even those that do care about that, wouldn't track the G !!
They may however be swayed by raw HP numbers .... ooh 310 hp -- must be better than a 300 hp car

It could become obvious when you have the car for say a month.
Not many of us here have the luxury of having a car for more than month to decide if we want to buy them -- hence these long term tests.
I like 'em for what they are .... and you are correct that ppl should realize it is just one car before drawing any sweeping conclusions.

I agree that the long-term tests are useful for many legitimate reasons.
The problem I have is that much of the write-ups tend to be on the repair history of the test car, when this information should not be relied upon for much of anything.
