I traded my BMW330XI for this...

I couldn't pass up the deal.

you traded a reliable German auto for an american car? (i get that they are japanese built but its mainly for the american market)

My stepmom just got one of those.

Eh, to be honest, I find Infiniti to be the blandest of luxury automakers.

Yes, I did. Yes, they are built in Japan.

fixed

I bet these cars are really similar. How do they compare?

Do you like it?

lol @ reliable german car


BMWs are notorious for electrical issues, though they are mechanically usually pretty sound.

Also lol @ Infinity being the blandest luxury brand

That would go to Lexus easily, even though they are technically sound cars.

Nice trade, I would have done the same.

Lexus are boring

stereotypes are awesome

Yeah. I went from a 2002 to a 2008 with a lot more features.

The BMW was begining to cost me money. The Infinity has a 4 year bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Nice trade... unless you traded in your Opeth plate for a vagina.

Thanks. Nah, I still have my Opeth plate. It needs cleaned.

Definitely worth the trade.

HAHAHA!

i don't care for cars, but the SS will get you trading in a german one


trust me they will

even though they have been defunct for sixty five years

Lexus is definitely bland, but I feel like they have a distinctive enough style that Infinity doesn't have. That and the Lexus IS is nicer looking than any Infinity model. But I wouldn't buy either, personally.

Have you seen the interior of an Acura? It looks like a moderately upgraded Honda. Worst interiors, no class, lots of buttons, cheap looking/feeling plastic parts.

Personal preference I guess, I way disagree. After sitting in and playing with all the cars at the auto show a month and a half ago, I definitely preferred the interiors (at least) of Lexus, BMW, Cadillac, and Lincoln. Exteriors are a different story, but to me the interior is way more important, because that's where I'm spending my time.

What? The CTS and the MKS have awesome interiors, and the new MKX (though I'm not a fan of crossovers) as well as the SRX are also excellent. Premium leather, classy accents, tastefully understated. Lexus succeeds in the same way.

I'll post some pics.

They're just okay, but you're right about Acura. The interior is not luxurious.

All modern Acuras are the ugliest cars on the road, who cares about the interior?

Nah, I like the exteriors a lot; they're angular and very unique. Unfortunately, the interiors are as bland and uninspiring as can be.

You guys don't mind the beak?

Hell no, I think it's distinctive. I especially like the profile and the tail end of the car.

The shifters on both the Cadillacs and Lincolns look too close to the console.

I wouldn't buy either one ever. Cadillacs suffer from poor quality made by American Union workers who only care about their benefits and time off and not about the product.

It's... it's... smiling at me.

It's difficult to compare the 2002 with the 2008. The 2008 has more bells and whistles and has more horsepower. Overall, the Infinity has more power, luxury and is just a better overall vehicle.

I still have this BMW, which I plan on keeping:

FUCK

Sorry Falcon I forgot.

Get a Ford.

Those lazy-ass union workers, why don't they just die?

I wouldn't want them to die. However, it would be a great thing if trust could be established between management and the workers. The "Big Three" should have listened to Dr. Deming a long time ago when they had the chance.

Ugh I hate how Australia gets all the sweet engines. big turbo inline 6s, big v8s.

They're like america 50 years ago.
