Poor Infiniti. WTH is going on over there? I actually feel really bad for them. I test drove the Q50 recently and really have no intention of signing a deal. The sales associate was phenomenal and a super nice guy. But to hear the despair in his voice when he leaves me voice messages trying to get a sale is a bit depressing, really.

And another thing. It looks like Lincoln is poised to overtake Infiniti next month. They were only about 500 units behind Infiniti this month compared to being about 2600 units behind last year.
