Nice vehicles, but the local dealer here sucks.

Infiniti should take 'customer experience' ideas from Lexus and Mercedes.

They got the increase in sales because truck sales are on the rebound.

Car sales in both lines are still down. Nissan -5.77% and Infiniti -12.07% for a combined total of -33371 units YTD.

"Nissan -5.77% and Infiniti -12.07% for a combined total of -33371 units YTD."

I'm guessing that's because the Altima and G35 are being redesigned?

How the hell did Infiniti manage to sell 32.4% more FX suv's? Were there massive rebates or lease support? The vehicle is cool to look at - but its very impractical due to limited interior space.

Yes, I agree. I almost rented one myself (I think I was in CA with my family), and took a look in the trunk. It was about the same size as the trunk in my S4 convertible (with the top up). I took a Volvo XC70 instead.

Nissan is one of the best Japanese Manufacture, they build the best engines and trany known for their power and reliability and wide verity of cars.
I own an Infiniti Q45 since 2002 without any problem quite reliable and powerful than an S500 (99 up to 2005), CL500, and the lazy Ls430 from 0-260 K.M, belief me guys I rewind every G.dmm S500, BMW and Audi A8s in case of sport driving.
I live in Dubai, The United Arab Emirates and we get the Q45 here without complications of emission control so we get it with 365 H.P a lethal weapon, and recently we received The M45 with a 362 H.P that’s of course will be another case.
