Red flags should be everywhere at Infiniti. The QX30, QX50 and QX60 should be huge sellers in the luxury SUV classes they represent, but they aren't even close. It's almost embarrassing how badly they are doing against their competition, in some cases, much older, competition. The QX60 was competitive with MDX earlier this year, but has dropped off. If Infiniti can't compete in this SUV-happy world, then this company is in deep trouble.

While Infiniti might be able to compete with Acura = they have priced most of their product in line with Top Tier Premiums - while they are actually 2nd tier along with Acura. If you have to pay that much for an Infiniti =- may as well buy a Bmw or Mercedes.

On the other hand - Nissan cars are getting long in the tooth and most need replacing. THis will lead to a bump in sales even if car sell less today

@ TomM: Your hate for Lexus, Audi, Acura and Infiniti is evident. At least your second statement is right
