Infinity coming to the UK

they are nissans with a different badge, e.g. an infinity i35 is a nissan maxima. this is different from lexus/toyota. you can't buy a lexus that is basically a toyota camry, similarly there is no toyota that is a stripped down ls430.

my uncle has had an i30 since '98 and now has 293,000 on the clock. it still goes/stops etc pretty well for a car that old. my only bug bear with it is the short oil change intervals (just 3000 miles!)

Surely that's with Yanktastic mineral oil?
 
I reported a crime where the alleged criminal was in an Infiniti (and was very clear that they're not that common in Britain) and later found out that the 999 operator had written down BMW M3.

Are you sure? I think the Lexus Soarer and Toyota Supra would massively disagree :)
 
Hugely popular over here and significantly cheaper (and more reliable?) that a German equivalent.. the G37 sedan and coupe and the FX35/50 are the most prevalent... hardly see any Ms.

Power and equipment wise you get a lot for the money but the interiors are not as quality feeling as a BMW/Merc/Audi/VW.. low res media screens, dodgy fake wood etc.

I find them rather challenged in the styling department across the range though, but the G coupe is probably the best looking of the bunch.

Was gonna say a similar thing... Priced the same as a german car but without the nice interiors and prestige. I'm pretty sure the engines are worse too. In the UK they are pretty rare so that's a + for prestige for now.
I also think the G coupe is great looking but i'd take a 3 series over it any day.

not really on the costs, for the full option:

G37 - $50k
335i - $73k
C350 - $73k

and the G has the most power of the 3.

Theres a lot of badge tax on the German cars here though
