I used to sell Infinitis for a short period of time and I completely understand why this is happening. Infiniti has 4 major issues: Read more

I don’t know what Infiniti can do. The 3/4 series is down by about half from it's 2014 peak. Mazda's whole lineup is newer and cheaper, and is all down too. Seems like if your don't have a strong brand right now you are getting clobbered. Infiniti is not bad for the money, even when you factor in age Read more

I have to admit, this is the first time I hear about Infiniti pulling out of Europe, they’ve never been too successful but I regularly see them on the road here in the UK at least, albeit in crappy diesel form. I’m still holding out for a first gen Q45 that somehow made its way over here... Read more

First time I hear it’s because of the resale. Thought the beige/gold and silver are mainly because they don’t look dirty even if they are. Read more

Buy green. Green works well on most cars. Forest green, olive green, British Racing green, etc. Just don’t do metallic green. Read more

Bring back color interiors! Read more

I have been sitting on this image since Spa last year. Thank you for allowing me to get it off my desktop

If the fairing isn’t eliminated in favor of a tiny camera nacelle enclosed in the A-pillar, then it’s basically a gimmick. The whole idea here is to reduce protrusions on the car. If you’re going to have something sticking out, anyway...just make it a mirror. Read more

That Dravit Grey reminds me of the Stratus Grey from the E38s  Read more

as far as i’m aware, camera image sensors are square or round. so no matter the situation here, they’re clipping away parts of the image to fit into a very odd shape. Read more

The efficiency gains are only really relevant on the car maker side of the equation to help them meet milage and emissions goals, the benefit to the consumer is like auto stop/start, which is to say, negligible.  Read more

I like to set my mirrors so they create a continuous picture from left to rear view to right, then if I need to look down the body of my car, I lean forward momentarily. You can’t do that with cameras. Read more

If only they could use non mirrory anti glare screens for mirrors - now I get reflection on the virtual reflection Read more

Awesome idea. At the minimum it would mean that boring colors would be highly profitable for automakers. And at best it would force boring cheap buyers to buy something interesting.  Read more

I wish they’d make gray and silver optional charges; they could still have blue and red as base colors which are acceptable to the straights, but make it an extra cost to have gray or silver and then fleet buyers will quietly drop it and we’ll have a step towards interesting cars again.

I wish we had those crazy TVR color changing paint jobs from the 90s back again.

I appreciate the effort to make grey, the lowest common denominator of car colours, more interesting and special!
