This and Lexus are the best luxury cars out there with completely different styles. The LEXUS is the more mercedes like, Infiniti is more BMW like. Audi is just so boring
@heartboy86 The BMW 5 series is still a great car only it isn't the best anymore. However in case you didn't know the 5 series does not compete against the G37 sedan so your comparisons are irrelevant. The BMW 535i competes "head to head" with the Infiniti M37 sedan while the G37 competes with the BMW 3 series. As for cadillac...... yeah I guess they are a reliable affordable luxury brand but you cant really compare the prestige factor of a BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti & Mercedes with a Cadillac.
@kyleport101 your comment makes no sense at all,first caddy has a higher quality than bmw,merc and especially audi,second you heard of the cts-v right and third i know you heard of the new xts thats coming out in 13 i believe,looks like you need to do some research bud and caddy invented the term luxury car,them and dusengburg
@kyleport101 nothing biased in fact infitni and caddy are two of my favorite car brands and dont take this the wrong way but please know what you are talking about before you reply to my comments,its kind of wasting the little time i have......
@heartboy86 "Please know what what youre talking about before commenting"?? LOL I cant believe you actually think Cadillac "invented" the luxury segment. No offense but if it wasn't for the Cadillac Escalade they wouldn't even be acknowledged in the luxury market. The CTSV is a fast car but Cadillac as a brand itself has always been the underdog in the luxury market. You need a reality check if you actually think Cadillac is a class leader in the luxury market, they aren't even taken seriously.
@kyleport101 lmao,yea,either you are just biased or just plain stupid,you heard of dusenburg right,you really need to look up caddy,Cadillac became the first American automobile manufacturer to win the coveted Dewar Trophy for the standardization of automobile parts. The Dewar trophy was instituted in 1904 to encourage technical,others words craftsmanship has been apart of this company since day one and like i stated earlier,merc and bmw have finished dead last in customer satisfaction,....
@heartboy86 I dont dislike Cadillac but I am not for one second going to be a complete idiot and actually think they are better then the Germans let alone its Japanese rivals. Cadillac is hardly ever even mentioned in comparison reviews with Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz, even on youtube. Is it a good affordable luxury car? Of course but its not any where near on par in luxury, refinement, design appeal or driving dynamics with its competitors. Get real, this almost a joke.
@kyleport101 you are fucking slow or do you just ignore my comment,do some research dumbass,caddy has a higher quality and reliablity rate than merc and bmw,and they were named comsumerdigest best buys and the cts has one several rewards over the last couple years,you seriously dont beleive they dont compete or are you that retarded,i like merc and infitniti as well but i also like FACTS
@kyleport101 lmao,thx for the laugh,so caddy didnt make luxury cars in the in the 60s or 70s right??? or the fact that motor trend and comser digest gave them a higher quality rate than merc and bmw and especially jag,even UK motors said they were junk,so please do some research before you make youeself look like a jackass kid better keep it up so i can keep laughing,look youtubers look you
@kyleport101 lets see dumbshit i could be wrong,sike
they were the first at first wrap-around windshield, the first signal-seeking automotive radio, and the Autronic Eye - the first automatic headlight dimmer. Other innovations were leather upholstery and chrome wire wheels.
first automatic climate control system: Comfort Control; Cadillac debuted an industry-first "Twilight Sentinel" system which automatically turned the headlights off and/or on at dusk/sunrise.
@heartboy86 I can automatically name industry first innovations on other manufacturers, that doesn't make Cadillac the class leader. Infiniti was the first to have a rear view camera, lane departure prevention, rear sunshade, forest air ventilation system, fastest luxury hybrid , laser guided cruise control. Lexus was the first to parallel self parking system, first to offer a full size hybrid V-8 etc BMW was the first for this Mercedes was the first for that.... blah blah blah
first American luxury carmaker to implement a 24-hour, 365 day-a-year roadside service program
first automotive application of thermal-imaging technology: Night Vision.,make you sure you read all four of my comments so you will comprehend please...
@heartboy86 The fact that I am inundated in your comments right now is enough to realize how much of a Caddy Fanboy you are hence your ignorance. For starters, Cadillac was not the first to offer free road side assistance or free loaner cars, that was Infiniti so get your facts straight. And if night vision is your defense for making Cadillac the successor then I might as well glorify Lexus for being able to park its self, big whoop. Cadi is a revolutionary brand, not evolutionary.
@Mr330d Slower then a 330d??? Haha thats laughable, the 330d has less the 255 HP while the Infiniti M37 composes a 3.7 liter V6 emitting 330 HP. And obviously the MPG is going to better in a diesel, that doesn't make it a better car. If you want to go green then those who want an Infiniti will got for a 2012 M35 hybrid which is the fastest hybrid powered luxury car in the world.
@kyleport101 in what respect is it laughable ?? a standard e46 330d the one i'm talking about has 204bhp from the factory and 302lb-ft torque .. that's a huge amount of torque but i'm talking about a re-mapped 330d with a straight through exhaust which = 246bhp & 384lb-ft torque these are dyno figures 246bhp 330d 0-60 in 5.9 avg mpg = 35-40 hybrid technology is rubbish though so are electric cars do you have 11 hours to charge it up LOL plus bmw made the engine for the 330d infinti use nissan ;)
@Mr330d Infiniti hybrid's rubbish? If this is true then why are companies trying to sign off contracts with Nissan/Infiniti. The M35h is the fastest hybrid in the world not to mention Infiniti is now partners with Mercedes Benz. Both companies intend to swap technology, Infiniti will be using AMG based engines for their new IPL line up and Mercedes will be using some of Infiniti's hybrid/Electric technology. The M37 does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and btw BMW is also coming out with a 5 series hybrid
@kyleport101 i don't care if it's the fastest hybrid in the world that information is of no use to me what so ever what you're saying to me is that .1 of a second on a 0-60 attempt is better ?? i'm sure if you really tried a few times you could get 5.8 in a 330d but that's not the point the point is that 0-60 in 5.9 makes it one of the fastest diesels around there is people with 272bhp 330d's getting 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (bigger turbo) so what i'm saying is 5.8 from a v6 petrol isn't great :)
the m37 is gorgeous. Infiniti takes more risks with their cars than bmw. the new bmw's look the same as they did 20 years ago, just larger and smoother around the edges. the bimmer look is getting old, the Infiniti has a fresh look
THE M LOOKS AND PERFORMS BETTER THAN THE TWO SHE MENTIONED...MORE TECH FOR THE PRICE. I WILL GO WITH THE INFINITI...GUESS BECAUSE IT'S AN AMERICAN CAR LOL...
She can drive but very poor presentation... to much looking deep and fast at the camera... chill out woman it's a car.. show us more of the car not just her boat race.
I'd take a Japanese luxury car than a German one any day. They're just as luxurious in my opinion and more reliable. They're also cheaper to buy, own, and repair while German cars cost you an arm and a leg. German cars overrated and I know too many people with problems with them.
@alexcheetah79 Audi's are beautiful cars but I think their overall design language is being played out too much on too many models and they're all beginning to look the same, and not to mention that looks are in the eye of the beholder. What looks good to us might not for another.
@vk45de hahahahahah this actually made me laugh out loud, mostly because youre 100% right and completely proved her wrong while using nothing but a sarcastic tone
from what i've read, the M drives better than the new 5 series, the new 5 series is based on a shortened version of the 7 series platform meaning it doesn't handle nearly as well.
The only and I mean ONLY reason I would pick a 535i over this is the choice of a manual transmission. On every other level, the infiniti has the BMW beat
Who in their right mind would buy this over a 5-Series or an E-Class? You'd have to be mad...a V6 petrol saloon made for the American market with an inferior engine, but with an asking price similar to that of an E-Class. You'd have to be mad. I'm all for new cars but not when their as laughable as this.
@RiiDDiiM Japanese... part of Nissan.....the up market sector like Lexus is to Toyota... just that it's been available in th US for ages.. only just breaking to the European market ... mostly due t the great German cars having the market over here for so long.
@RiiDDiiM If you dont have the money then dont buy one clearly the 5 series and Mercedes E-class are the cheaper alternatives in Europe. Infiniti is superior in terms of performance and reliability, and sure BMW builds great looking cars but thats about as far as they go they have a load of problems, are you kidding BMW North america has a class action law suite against them, people who buy BMWs enjoy them 2-3 years and then they go down the crap hole. I prefer japenese luxury not german luxury.
@Johncarson9113 LOLL....infiniti better performer than BMW? where do you get your comparisons from?? the infiniti brochure?? only thing Infiniti has over BMW is that its less expensive to maintain...but thats only because parts are cheaper since a lot of componentry is shared with mass market Nissans.
@farazl LOL no actually out of experience =) I had a 07 328i and later traded it in for a 2009 G37. The Infiniti is the better performer, sure they may lack a performance devision the way BMW has an ///M series although Infiniti is debuting the IPL series next year.You want true performance out of a BMW you have to opt for an ///M engine and that thousands more. The standard 328i has a lousy underpowered 230HP while the G37 bost 328HP standard and it handles just aswell as BMW (BIG MONEY WASTER)
@Johncarson9113..yeah usually a car with the 100 more HP would be faster! You should compare the 335i and the G37 as Infiniti and BMW both do- Even with 28 less HP, it is faster at every acceleration test plus the midrange acceleration is simply mindblowing. You pay more money for BMW because their cars perform better than only looking at their numbers would explain. I have a 2000 740i Sport and a 2005 545i. The 545i is a great car but the 740i, even though a little slower, illustrates
@farazl you are totally forgetting to mention that the 335i has twin turbos and more torque. Infiniti has never needed forced induction to provide good acceleration while BMW relies on it. Sure the car may perform better, But only if its not broken. Ill take reliability and 1mph slower in the 1/4 mile over being broken on the side of the road any day.
@Johncarson9113 the point best. The car has 282 HP but outaccelerates all S class, Audi A8's, Lexus, Infinitis even thru the mid 2000's and even when all these cars were putting out about 320-340 HP. BMW claims 0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds while car magazines kept getting 5.9 to 6 seconds. And that is not even its core competency- that would be its M car like handling and braking which only the very latest of the Infinitis and Audis are beginning to match or exceed.
@farazl You have a point but remember that in the US market Infiniti has a larger variety of engines which the M & G class follow unlike in the UK market. The M37 is the only engine available in the UK hence the fact why it competes against bigger engines in the segment like the 535i instead of the 528i. Here in america we get the M37 with 330HP and the M56 with 420HP, that makes it the class leading sedan in this segment. And yes your correct, the 328i competes with the G25 sedan not the G37
@Johncarson9113 We've owned several bmw's over the past years and none of them had any problems. I still have a 2003 5 series which workes flawlessly. The new teutonic interiors of Mercedes' and BMW's (and even Audi's for that matter) are much better looking and of much higher quality than the interiors of Infinity. Not saying that Infinity's are bad cars but i would prefer a BMW over a jumped up Nissan any day of the week......just my opinion...as it is your opinion to prefer Japanese luxury.
@Johncarson9113 this is such a backwards statement. Bmws arent known for their beauty at ALL. in fact, bmws are the ugliest between audi and mercedes. BUT, bmws are the most reliable. Dont you for a second try to tell me they arent, ive owned 4 and each one has been great. I can care less weather any of you agree with me, but ill tell you the truth, because THIS statement by johncarson is very very false. Bmws are cars with soul.
@GoldenGuard33 How is your statement any different from mine? Your comment is strictly opinion and biased therefore invalid. & BMW reliable? Are you kidding me, there is a reason why there are law suits against them! Don't try to tell me what I know & dont know, I was an owner of a 07 BMW 335i, HPFP failures where the worst experience Ive encountered the run flat tire ware is horrible they dont even last what they are suppose to. I now have a 2009 Infiniti G37 & so far I couldn't be happier
@Johncarson9113 that is so true i was planning on buying a BMW or Benz but didn't because i know it would cost a lot to fix.I am driving a Acura since 2002 and besides 1 rear light bulb needs replacing(under warranty)there has been no problem at all.I am a mailman and one of my customers bought a brand new BMW 3 sedan and less than a month later he had his car towed to the shop, that's pathetic.right besides the price of the car, there should be estimated repair cost yearly.
@Johncarson9113 I bet you've never owned a German car in your life, but if you check the numbers Audi and BMW have higher market share than Infiniti and Lexus. So that means plenty of people beg to differ. And you talk as if an Infiniti has never broken down in its life or has had issues. And it makes sense that Infiniti would cost more than Germans in Europe, shipping from Japan to Europe would be more expensive than shipping within Europe.
@SPMNDK89 I had a 2007 335i coupe, I now have a 2009 Infiniti G37. Does that give you an answers to your pointless & condescending question? As for cost, vise versa, BMW are more expensive here in the US, that doesn't mean that the car with the higher price tag is the better one let alone the most prestigious, that is what I call being naive, hence the common misconception that the BMW is the more high end alternative when in reality thats just the mind set of Americans.
Wow you are so easily offended. I never said higher price means a better quality car. Everyone in Europe seems to say that Inifinitis cost more, all I'm saying is that the import costs probably vary due to the cars point of origin. And why would I be condescending towards someone I hope I never meet? I was giving an opinion just like you. And for that matter so is every one who ever reviews a car. And by the way, I never asked a question previously, you idiot. (btw that was condescending)
@SPMNDK89Not offended just informative , you may take it as you like =). Infiniti is new to the global market, Its only been 2 years since they began going international, so the fact that BMW and Audi have a larger market share is of no surprise to me, thanks for stating the obvious. And your opinion although valid to you makes no difference in the rapid deterioration and quality of the BMW, that was the basis for my argument above in the first place.
Maybe I just lucked out then according to you. My 04 X5 3.0i has done 163K miles and it's still kicking. Bought it new out San Francisco's dealer and it still gets the job done. Also have an E60 5 series, bought it three and half years ago in SD and put 85K miles on it. I do a ton of driving. And so far, the only thing I replaced, were the rear tires. And I love the inline 6. Either way, we can argue all we want and insult each other's grandmothers but I bet you not every thinks Bimmers suck.
@SPMNDK89 Maybe you did luck out?? But I never stated BMW was the worst brand. If anything they where a beacon and an inspiration to the current segment of other luxury performance car brands. The M-series alone is an amazing line up, I cant take away the long history and heritage of the BMW. They design beautiful cars however its a shame they are of rubbish quality. Reliability is simply not their strong suit. They lack what some Japanese rivals have to offer & vise versa.
@Johncarson9113 Either way cars aren't supposed to last forever. Eventually a car will break down no matter what brand, you just hope later rather than sooner.
I saw this car in person and it was black as well on the road it is definitely a very beautiful car with a lot of presence. This car is just stunning especially from the front view.
Not as biased as the other European reviews ive seen! I beg to differ about it being less competitive than the bimmer and the merc. Aslo there is a M56! which is much faster than the M37... Which stands for 3.7Liter.. not 3.6 vicki!
The E and 5er are "more involving to drive?" Neither one has steering feel worth a hill of beans. The M is sportier than either, and so is the Jag XF. Only in the pricey //M and AMG versions, do the current Benz and BMW shine dynamically.
@jaymum23 Maybe E and 5 dont feel more involving, but they are much much more comfortable, and overall feel more luxurious. All infinities feel a bit cheap for their price. Materials in interior are nowhere near mercedes, bmw and audi, and interior design is all messed up.
@derbigpr500 The E being more comfortable, fine. The M actually has more interior space than the new 5. There are no cheap materials in any Infiniti except for the G,which is due for replacement. Yes, around the time that car was designed, Ghosn was spending $2 less per car on materials so that he could purchase an extra yacht every week. The M, however is first-class inside. I have sat in it back-to-back with the E. The E's dashboard feels cheap and it doesn't have leather standard.
feels like i just took a ride with an infiniti dealer.......... boring. too informative, no drag racing, no attempt to show the car's performance and why wouldn't she include the audi a6 as part of the competition. fifth gear is only slightly better than the strictly online videos like edmunds.
I have to say, I hate it when Vicki test cars... We want to see these cars put to the limit on the track or streets. All she does is cruse at 15mph and read the specs of the car. BOARING... VICKI, TAKE A LOOK AT TIFF's VIDEOS AND SEE WHAT HE DOES.
There's the imperial gl. and the US gl. so 28 UK mpg = 23.3 US mpg. Which is close to what the combined EPA rating of 21 mpg, but who knows the differences in testing.
@FuriousPumpkin Most US cars has big engine with not so good handling. They are built for drag races. All cars should be more economical to save the world.
She always mentions the Golf. Even if she is testing a transatlantic ship, a bicycle or a tractor, she will say “It’s not as sharp as the Mini" and "not as refined as the Golf" every time.
What bothers me the most is that from a distance, the front and the back looks like a poor mixture of Korean cars and the old Mitsubishi Lancer. Doesnt' really have the "grand luxury" classy look you might expect from an Infinity.
is she having a baby soon? It's a serious question

@RiiDDiiM If you dont have the money then dont buy one clearly the 5 series and Mercedes E-class are the cheaper alternatives in Europe. Infiniti is superior in terms of performance and reliability, and sure BMW builds great looking cars but thats about as far as they go they have a load of problems, are you kidding BMW North america has a class action law suite against them, people who buy BMWs enjoy them 2-3 years and then they go down the crap hole. I prefer japenese luxury not german luxury.
Johncarson9113 1 year ago 71
@Johncarson9113 LOLL....infiniti better performer than BMW? where do you get your comparisons from?? the infiniti brochure?? only thing Infiniti has over BMW is that its less expensive to maintain...but thats only because parts are cheaper since a lot of componentry is shared with mass market Nissans.
farazl 1 year ago
@farazl LOL no actually out of experience =) I had a 07 328i and later traded it in for a 2009 G37. The Infiniti is the better performer, sure they may lack a performance devision the way BMW has an ///M series although Infiniti is debuting the IPL series next year.You want true performance out of a BMW you have to opt for an ///M engine and that thousands more. The standard 328i has a lousy underpowered 230HP while the G37 bost 328HP standard and it handles just aswell as BMW (BIG MONEY WASTER)
Johncarson9113 1 year ago
@Johncarson9113..yeah usually a car with the 100 more HP would be faster! You should compare the 335i and the G37 as Infiniti and BMW both do- Even with 28 less HP, it is faster at every acceleration test plus the midrange acceleration is simply mindblowing. You pay more money for BMW because their cars perform better than only looking at their numbers would explain. I have a 2000 740i Sport and a 2005 545i. The 545i is a great car but the 740i, even though a little slower, illustrates
farazl 1 year ago
@farazl you are totally forgetting to mention that the 335i has twin turbos and more torque. Infiniti has never needed forced induction to provide good acceleration while BMW relies on it. Sure the car may perform better, But only if its not broken. Ill take reliability and 1mph slower in the 1/4 mile over being broken on the side of the road any day.
clarda1 1 day ago
@Johncarson9113 the point best. The car has 282 HP but outaccelerates all S class, Audi A8's, Lexus, Infinitis even thru the mid 2000's and even when all these cars were putting out about 320-340 HP. BMW claims 0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds while car magazines kept getting 5.9 to 6 seconds. And that is not even its core competency- that would be its M car like handling and braking which only the very latest of the Infinitis and Audis are beginning to match or exceed.
farazl 1 year ago
@farazl You have a point but remember that in the US market Infiniti has a larger variety of engines which the M & G class follow unlike in the UK market. The M37 is the only engine available in the UK hence the fact why it competes against bigger engines in the segment like the 535i instead of the 528i. Here in america we get the M37 with 330HP and the M56 with 420HP, that makes it the class leading sedan in this segment. And yes your correct, the 328i competes with the G25 sedan not the G37

@Johncarson9113 We've owned several bmw's over the past years and none of them had any problems. I still have a 2003 5 series which workes flawlessly. The new teutonic interiors of Mercedes' and BMW's (and even Audi's for that matter) are much better looking and of much higher quality than the interiors of Infinity. Not saying that Infinity's are bad cars but i would prefer a BMW over a jumped up Nissan any day of the week......just my opinion...as it is your opinion to prefer Japanese luxury.

@Johncarson9113 this is such a backwards statement. Bmws arent known for their beauty at ALL. in fact, bmws are the ugliest between audi and mercedes. BUT, bmws are the most reliable.

Johncarson9113 7 months ago
@Johncarson9113 that is so true i was planning on buying a BMW or Benz but didn't because i know it would cost a lot to fix.I am driving a Acura since 2002 and besides 1 rear light bulb needs replacing(under warranty)there has been no problem at all.I am a mailman and one of my customers bought a brand new BMW 3 sedan and less than a month later he had his car towed to the shop, that's pathetic.right besides the price of the car, there should be estimated repair cost yearly.
Light23K 7 months ago
@Johncarson9113 I bet you've never owned a German car in your life, but if you check the numbers Audi and BMW have higher market share than Infiniti and Lexus. So that means plenty of people beg to differ. And you talk as if an Infiniti has never broken down in its life or has had issues. And it makes sense that Infiniti would cost more than Germans in Europe, shipping from Japan to Europe would be more expensive than shipping within Europe.
SPMNDK89 5 months ago
@SPMNDK89 I had a 2007 335i coupe, I now have a 2009 Infiniti G37. Does that give you an answers to your pointless & condescending question? As for cost, vise versa, BMW are more expensive here in the US, that doesn't mean that the car with the higher price tag is the better one let alone the most prestigious, that is what I call being naive, hence the common misconception that the BMW is the more high end alternative when in reality thats just the mind set of Americans.
Johncarson9113 5 months ago
Wow you are so easily offended. I never said higher price means a better quality car. Everyone in Europe seems to say that Inifinitis cost more, all I'm saying is that the import costs probably vary due to the cars point of origin. And why would I be condescending towards someone I hope I never meet? I was giving an opinion just like you. And for that matter so is every one who ever reviews a car. And by the way, I never asked a question previously, you idiot. (btw that was condescending)
SPMNDK89 5 months ago
@SPMNDK89Not offended just informative , you may take it as you like =). Infiniti is new to the global market, Its only been 2 years since they began going international, so the fact that BMW and Audi have a larger market share is of no surprise to me, thanks for stating the obvious. And your opinion although valid to you makes no difference in the rapid deterioration and quality of the BMW, that was the basis for my argument above in the first place.
Johncarson9113 5 months ago
Maybe I just lucked out then according to you. My 04 X5 3.0i has done 163K miles and it's still kicking. Bought it new out San Francisco's dealer and it still gets the job done. Also have an E60 5 series, bought it three and half years ago in SD and put 85K miles on it. I do a ton of driving. And so far, the only thing I replaced, were the rear tires. And I love the inline 6. Either way, we can argue all we want and insult each other's grandmothers but I bet you not every thinks Bimmers suck.
SPMNDK89 5 months ago
@SPMNDK89 Maybe you did luck out?? But I never stated BMW was the worst brand. If anything they where a beacon and an inspiration to the current segment of other luxury performance car brands. The M-series alone is an amazing line up, I cant take away the long history and heritage of the BMW. They design beautiful cars however its a shame they are of rubbish quality. Reliability is simply not their strong suit. They lack what some Japanese rivals have to offer & vise versa.
Johncarson9113 5 months ago
@Johncarson9113 Either way cars aren't supposed to last forever. Eventually a car will break down no matter what brand, you just hope later rather than sooner.

The E and 5er are "more involving to drive?" Neither one has steering feel worth a hill of beans. The M is sportier than either, and so is the Jag XF. Only in the pricey //M and AMG versions, do the current Benz and BMW shine dynamically.

Johncarson9113 1 year ago
@jaymum23 Maybe E and 5 dont feel more involving, but they are much much more comfortable, and overall feel more luxurious. All infinities feel a bit cheap for their price. Materials in interior are nowhere near mercedes, bmw and audi, and interior design is all messed up.
derbigpr500 1 year ago
@derbigpr500 The E being more comfortable, fine. The M actually has more interior space than the new 5. There are no cheap materials in any Infiniti except for the G,which is due for replacement. Yes, around the time that car was designed, Ghosn was spending $2 less per car on materials so that he could purchase an extra yacht every week. The M, however is first-class inside. I have sat in it back-to-back with the E. The E's dashboard feels cheap and it doesn't have leather standard.
