The EX and Skyline will continue a upbeat trend for the Corp. and if the G37 conv comes into play they have a great mix for Nissan and the Infiniti div. Now if the new Q comes about they can do some damage to the other big boys, things look bright for Nissan and Infinitit.

if Infiniti/Nissan can do the same magic like they did to G and M to Q they will do some serious damage to big boys. Big boys make oo much money from thir top line cars. there is many good cars and trucks are comming from Nissan soon. GTR, Rough and EX35
also Infinti need the new 2.5VQ into their cars soon. Also Titan need a V-6 too or a desiel too

Infiniti with there almighty M still can't outsell Acura. I think they are the one's that have some figuring out to do.
Nissan is junk overpriced and cheap looking interiors, so what if one crappy car outsells a Honda and no I don't think the Versa looks better than the Fit.

reason Infiniti can't out sell Acura, they have too many cheap cars, Like TL, you can buy it with NAV about 30.5K and TSX 25K and some small SUV, they all you can buy under 30K. Plus all those are based on Honda, so thay can sell it cheap and make more profit too. Infiniti have unique vehicles. Just can't over do rest of Acura

Bullshit a TL with navigation is going to cost you 35K nothing less I have one I should know,its Infiniti I see offering 1.9 percent APR not Acura.Infiniti is junk the TL is not a cheap car the interior is way better than a G35 even with their model change the TL still looks better. TSX starts at 29k with nav is 31k. The RL although it's not selling well has way more gadgets than the M35 and tops out at more money if you want to look at it that way.
Acura sells more because of the reputation they have gained for realiability and craftsmanship, Infiniti on the other hand is just known as a failure to Lexus. Acura is taken a different direction.
Just like the old CAR and Driver magazines use to poke fun of the Q from introduction, calling it the laughing stock to the LS.

Acura's aren't as good as you Acura fans think they are. I am a Nissan fan and I was in the market for a Car in the TL segment. I looked at the TL,G35,TSX,IS250,A4. I was going to buy the TL, had my heart and mind set on it. Then I went to the Acura forums (Acurazine and VTEC.net) and found out how many issues and rattles the TL had. I ended up with a G and have not looked back. Have not been back to the shop for one issue and the car has 30k miles on it. I am one of those real picky drives that brings a car back for the littlest rattle so trust me, i can't find anything. My buddy bought a TSX and he as been back now 3-4 times for a poorly installed windshield, Rattles in the Doors and overhead trim parts. I read the TL forums and the rants about the rattles were even worse. So, there is your proof that Acura's are not as good as you think.

Okay you got that the 04 AND 05 TL'S did have rattle issues but alot were caused by the crappy Bridgestones they have as stock, those problems have been straigtned out. Infiniti's 07 G I read have rattle issues and vibration issues check Car and Driver write up on it. The QX57 forget that is rattly on the smoothes roads look it up anywhere and that's what you will see. The TSX issue I think is just a random issue because I never hear anything bad about that car,I have had one twice for loaners they are great although I would have to take the TL.

I had a 07 G35 loaner. Not one single rattle. I had it for abou 700 miles while I had some body work done on my car. My 06 has 30,000 miles on it and not one rattle. The QX56 was a mistake, they fixed that problem too. I just checked. The TL is offering 4.9% for 60 months. The G35 has no incentives at this time according to Edmunds.com.
