I wanted to give a little proof of my viewpoint after hearing disrespect without proof. I stand by my post and I stand by my comment that more than a few of you will find the times they are a changin'.
I have no vested interest or particular loyalty to any product but I am absolutely OCD when it comes to fairness and when i hear mindless accusations. A point I hope some will find instructive: I used to hold shares of VW, BMW and Porsche.
I owned Japanese cars before, had some issues, issues I never had with German cars, still think those cars were very good.
Had for some time A6 2.7T and YES, I saw dealership, to do allingnment.
The fact that you had bad luck does not mean all German cars are bad, and all Infinitis are good.
That is why I reacted in this way: you get Nissan Altima for $48k.
Infiniti has its own charm, [censored], I even considered to buy one, but just because you had bad luck with one car, does not mean they are bad.
