Has anyone gone from a Lexus/Bmw or Benz to the Infiniti?

Amber or orange interior lights have been proven to be less stressful on the eyes for long drives. Red, blue and other colors become annoying and not only can get hard to see if you've been driving for long periods of time, tires your eyes faster as well. It's the reason why Infiniti chose to make everything in the interior light up amber. Red is harder to see a distance away, and blue hues and white lights are just bright and irritates the eyes.

BMW interiors feel extremely plasticy, especially when you are comparing to other luxury brands that cost just as much. Hell, I've always felt that the G's interior feels less plasticy than a Bimmer's. True, Benzes have way too many buttons, but at least the interiors feel much nicer.
You think the G's materials ( not design ) is higher quaility than a BMW's? I can tell you I have owned both models and the interior materials / fit & finish are night and day. The G is miles behind. Not that the G is bad well the 06 and under were a little
rough for a luxury brand but 07s are nice. Nothing in my BMW isnt soft touch or padded nothing is hard plastic anywhere except maybe seat trim and by where you step into the car, kick panels etc.
As much as I love Audis their value declines way too fast for my liking and this interior looks a lot like an older domestic with new technologies. This picture kinda feels like an older Chevy or something.
Your comparing an Audi interior to that of a GM? you know they have some of the best interiors in the business.. As for Audis losing value I can agree a little but my G35 lost value like it was going out of style.. I sold mine with 6 Speed sedan w/40k miles and barely got over 15k and it was mint.
So you are keeping your eye on the designer that designed a bunch of cars that all look very much the same, only varying slightly from each other through a slight evolution of design throughout the past decade? Please excuse me if I'm not excited.

I do agree new designs can re-ignite the excitement or totally ruin it as well. But sometimes you need to take risk to get a big reward.

I had an IS350 Lexus before I got the G, and honestly I must say the fit and finish of minor things are subpar IMO. The Lexus has a touch access door entry rather than pushing a button every time. I feel like the Nav screen trim is cheap and flexible, just some other things that really show me that Nissan didn't put the time and effort to make this a truly Luxury automobile. I also have an M3 Coupe as weekend car, and well, I don't need to say anything more. The keyfob is so cheap looking and they use the same one's for Nissan's? The headliner is an exact replica of the one in my friends Altima...There should be an element of exclusivity there if you're paying twice the price of an Altima for this car. Infiniti needs to step their game up because as it is, I don't see them ever surpassing Lexus in terms of quality..yet they charge the same prices..but Lexus holds their value much more.
This is my last Infiniti.

Yes G35's performance to value is top of the heep. Just sucks if your going to sell. The G35s performance is out ahead of 328's C300's IS250's and priced way less used.
When I was crosshopping G35's 328's and IS350's the G was always the cheapest in price with the least amount of miles and most amount of options.. Awesome if your buying, Bad if your selling.
