Wow, people don't even want to buy Infinitis with all their lease deals. Did anyone notice Hyundai/Kia nearly outsold them.

They are in need of new product BAD! 2 cars and 3 SUVs ain't gonna do it.

they have the convertible coming out and future additions in the future. Hyundai/Kia are economy cars so it makes sense that they will outsell Infiniti, a luxury brand.

Exactly! It a bad financial situation, economy low end cars will always outsell luxury sport oriented cars, so it is only logical!

I think by your comments they outsold Audi as well.

The Nissan camp has nothing exciting happening aside from the GT-R. Infiniti's lineup is a deadbeat. The G37 quickly got old. A new M is needed.

i believe there is a re-design of the M in 2010. Wonder how it's going to look like.

infiniti needs a halo car, they need a q45 back, the nissan gtr should have been an infiniti. maybe they need a 1 series competitor as well....
