If you dont think Infiniti is LUXURY, then youre retarded.
Any of the G35s, sedans or coupe, along with the M, can stand beside the BMWs, and mercedes in the respective classes IMO.
you cant compare a G35 to a M3 or M5 IMO. why:
1) M3 is a race cars heritage that BMW carries on. it has a much higher price tag compared to any Inifiniti sports car, sedan.
2) I dont think Infiniti ever tried to compete with BMW or Mercedes, they offered a product that had alot of the same creature comforts, with less price tag. sure they sacrificed the power, but so what. G35s still have some bite to their bark.
Bottom line is they are a luxury brand. I would consider them along with LExus, BMW, Mercedes. They may not have the brand allegiance that the others have , but i dont think they have been given the chance yet. Nissan an infiniti were about to go under 5 years ago. Look where they have gone in the last couple years.
If a guy WANTS the status symbol of a BMW, Mercedes, hes gonna buy those cars. But for the average to upper middle class person, looking to purchase a nice car with a good price that holds its value, along with sporty looks, the Infinity wins hands down IMO. BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, LExus, Porchse, Landrover have always been for the "upper crowd" that want the status symbol, want to pay the money, and want to say they own one. i dont think infiniti markets itself that way. i think they say "hey, if you want BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, LExus, Porchse, Landrover, go buy one, they are great cars. But if you want a car for a decent price , with the same options an features, come give us a chance". an i think it works great.
NIssan/Infiniti must be doming something right, as last i checked they were selling the most cars an had the highest profit of any car manufacturer. Plus, CArlos Ghosn is being bred to take over the big american 3.
IMO, fuck a BMW, id take a G35 anyday over an M3 simply for the fact that the breakdown to price ratio is better with the infiniti haha.
