Thats pretty much about it. Other than that, I'd NEVER own ANYTHING from the VW/Audi company.Are you seriously going to sit there and tell me that Infinity came up with their M model cars to NOT compete with the BMW M cars? Come on, give me a f'ing break man. Same with Lexus and the IS300, etc. Follow the leader man, thats what it boils down to. They're trying to follow in BMW's and Merc's footsteps, and ya know what? I don't think I've EVER seen a comaprable car from ANY of those so called 'luxury' company's that can compete on the same level with an equal car from BMW or Mercedes. The IS300 is beaten by the 3 series EVERY SINGLE TIME in EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY. Get a grip dude. Your POS Infinity isn't THAT special man. I sure as hell wouldn't be busting my nut over one, let alone be caught dead owning one. Whats that pos cost, anyways? I bet the germans make something comparable or better for the price.
I talked to a guy who bought a new 330ci because, more than anything, the G35 dind't handle nearly as well, or stop anywhere near as well as the BMW. Kinda tells ya somethin there I think.
