...however my friend has a 2 year old merc E350 and its had problems with air conditioning, broken lights, a bunch of crap, and he still thinks its a great quality car. I dont get that, theres clearly proof that it isnt, but iono apparently its all about the badge.
but the thing is, it all depends on what type of cars u like, japs or german. there is always arguing going on but it really depends on the individual persons preference and experience. ive had japanese cars all my life and none of them were really great performance wise, but they lasted like 13 years and cost little to maintain. then when my brother bought his infiniti G35, it was different. it has a great engine, its comfy, its sporty, and its basically had no problems with it...
if u think infiniti is just another nissan maybe u should drive one! buncha idiots. just because their owned by nissan doesnt mean its a bad company. and btw mercs and beamers have terrible quality, even though i like beamers.
Infinitis are just Nissans that want to be BMWs in the same way Lexus are just Toyotas that want to be Mercedes. Infiniti is a badge just like Merc, Bimmer, Audi and the rest, only difference though is the Germans have earned their right because they are the REAL thing.
Infiniti is not a company - its a badge on a Nissan, same as Lexus is a Toyota - LEXUS=LuxuryEXportUS - and the engine awards for Nissan always come from one company, Ward's (?) - Reverse engineering is cheap and leaves alot of $ for commercials
You really believe people think you have status in an infiniti over a Mercedes? hah, yea sure, i see celebrities driving infiniti's all the time *sarcasm!!!
I don't care about the badge. It's only a devised concept... bmw doesn't offer quality interiors these days, plus - Nissan/Infiniti has the more sophisticated technology. Nissan came up with the bird-view navigation system, all-wheel steering, and the active cruise control in their Primera(Europe) which was the first with this in its class. Nissan also build the first V6 engine in mass-production, that was electronically controlled, back in the 70s.
Infiniti makes more engaging cars than BMW. It gets pointed out time and time again by car mags and such... usually followed by a "but we are suckers for bimmers so we still like them better" type comment.
The only reference I have to compare BMW vs Infiniti is at my work. One of the executives (out of 4 who all drive BMW's) recently traded in a 540i for a 2007 M45. I asked him what he thought about it... his exact words. "Best car Ive ever owned... My old BMW is not even in the same league. It feels like 100 extra hp even if it is only 40 or so more. Better gas milage" blah blah blah. So I guess he agrees.
jwatwater, another retard who buys bmw just because... he can flash the over priced, expensive, benz-imitator badge...bmw doesnt even have touchscreen navigation, lexus had them sice 2000. infiniti first had the rear view camera connected to the reverse gear...benz/bmw is more than infiniti/lexus only because of the price, in terms of quality, reliability, advanced technology, aerodynamics, lexus/infiniti owns benz/bmw
Ok, is an Infiniti/Lexus NOT a luxury car? Isnt driving one of them being SOMEWHAT "flashy"? And no I wouldnt buy a bmw, I MIGHT but i highy doubt it. My family has driven Mercedes-Benzes so it's just in me, sorry.
Also as for the Lexus/Infiniti back up screen Ive got to hand it to them that is a REALLY good idea they had, and also a safe one. And also as Ive said I am aware about the quailty/reliability but when a car starts tearing up,
Ive been taught by my family to give it away, but seeig as we have a 1987 Mercedes 300 bought new still on the raod... And as for the technology? OF CORSE, its Japan, I expect nothing less if they didnt make "smart" cars that would just be sad, areodynamic wise ill take your word on it, but seeing as the speed limit is about 70, I dont care..., why speed?
better than Mercedes/Bmw then you may continue to think that, Im not here to change anyones thoughts I'm just stating mine. Also calling someone retarded? ha... so middle school. You have a good week :)(sorry they posted back wards...)
BMW = aircraft first, then cars. Skyline and VQ engine...do I need to say more? "The VQ series is the only engine to be honored by Ward's 10 Best Engines list every year since the list's inception." ~Wikipedia
but how about The International Engine of the Year Awards? go ahead, google "engine of the year" and click on the first link... and count how many awards BMW took home...more than any other car company. the 2nd place for taking home the most, is 10 less than BMW. so... lets not talk about who makes the best engines, because you cant win.
oh btw, BMW was aircraft engines first, then motorcycles (which broke many speed records at the time) and THEN cars.
every idiot who says infiniti is a nissan plus leather (well, nissan also has leather), or lexus is a souped-up toyota...germans may have invented cars, but japanese invented innovation, and german cars these days don't come close to japanese quality.
true, but toyota land crusier/lexus lx470, that should be enough RIGHT there, but i agree about the quailty, but id still rather drive a bimmer over a lexus just because
german cars suck, bmw has a history of blindly copying benz, lol...the german cars are overpriced pieces of shit for retards who want to flash the 'expensive' symbol around.
(not trying to affend infiniti drivers) yes insted of driving a bmw which is owned by bmw or a mercedes (which is now) owned by mercedes lets drive an infiniti which is a nissan plus chrome, leather, fancy odd looking emblem, and about $10,000 more

Infinitis are Nissans with different badges, which is why they don't cost as much.

Infiniti Vs. Badge.... What about performance vs. overprice REBADGE?!
BMW= A real sport.
Infiniti= Just another Nissan.
Not argument there. Want a performance Japanese car that will put to shame the Germans and the other Japanese rebadge? get a Lexus LS460.
