Maybe I am a yuppie. Ok kind of not...... but I do like how infiniti looks over nissan. I had an altima before my audi and hated it. Granted it was a '96 but still.

Funny story though, yesterday at inifiniti the sales guy kept insisting no one wanted awd in a car and he said there was absolutely no need for it. Infiniti has an awd but I guess they are hard to get in. At least thats what he said. I doubt it, but whatever.

Changed your tune a little bit from last night i see onepoint8tee.

With300 hp and dry roads, he's obsolutely right. If you've got a thousand horsepower,AWD can make you faster, if you're running in the rain or snow, AWD can make you faster and or safer. Otherwise, it's just a hindrance.

But think about it, it's a car dealership, if they're not trying to sell you one, it's because they don't have one to give you, whether you need it or not. The last thing they care about is what a customer actually wants or needs in a car, they only care about what a customer can be convinced to leavewith.

So very true.. my mother wanted to get one of those new 4 door Wranglers... the local dealer told her they weren't out yet and couldn't get them for a while and if she really wanted one it would have a $5K premium when they did come out. She went up the road about an hour and got it that same very day, no premium. She was even able to haggle a bit off... Moms is like a shark, she smells blood in the water and attacks.

i love infiniti its a good solid car and like the others said if u like the 350z then most likely u will like infinitis
they really brought thenselves up, befor they just used to be clones of nissan cars with slightly diffrent pannels but they did change things up

if i went back to JDMs i would go infinit, their VG series engines been on the top ten list since 1995 i beleive

I've driven a couple of Infinitis and they are nice cars - just a little boring to drive. I like the Lexus interior better and it has better resale, but it is also pretty damn boring to drive. They are great cars and they sell a million of them. I just can't get excited about a big car payment for something that wouldn't give me any excitment on the road.
