Good to hear that Nissan and Infiniti are going in the right direction.
Domestics could learn a lesson or 2 from some of these imports.

Agreed. It's not about discounts and rebates - make a good car and sell it at a reasonable price. People are even generally willing to pay a little more for quality.
Hate to say it and offend anyone here... but the UAW has driven US car makers out of business. I grew up in Michigan and watched it happen.

Having a car that looks like our Infinitis wouldn't hurt either

Well, sales are up 500 units from last year, but the G sedan is up 1,000 units (50% jump up). So, overall, sales went down if not for the G. How many coupes sold?

In February 2006, 1643 Coupes were sold. In February 2007, 885 Coupes were sold.

IMO, I would say Coupe sales have slowed down significantly due to alot of customers waiting for the redesigned 08 Coupe.

So the sedan accounted for almost 50% of all brand sales. Quite impressive.

Infiniti really isn't happy with the numbers Kenny? The new Sedan was up 71% in January and 50% in February. That seems pretty impressive to me. What kind of numbers would they be happy with?

Nice, G35 is the bread and butter for Infiniti, no doubt about it. Oddly, I got 2 mailings on the G35 this week, and 1 last week. How come they couldn't send me anything last Oct. when I was in a position to buy?

To put things in perspective, there were 11,735 3 Series sold in Feb. About 2,400 of them were 328xi sedans, and 5k were 328i sedans. Only 669 335 coupes...

sales is hard everyone walks in and expects to pay nothing for a car that doesn't exist -- i'm selling cars that haven't even left Japan yet. it's good but supply and demand is high
