On a related note, how involved he is with Infiniti, other that marketing. "director of performance" just makes me chuckle every time I see that commercial.

Correct:

The Phaeton was never cancelled. They just stopped selling it in North America. It's even had a facelift.

It is indeed. Just looked into it a little bit; it's legal and available for non-muslims if you get an alcohol license, which in itself is often overlooked, apparently.

Alcohol is illegal in many (most?) Islamic countries. I wasn't even aware that a license was offered to circumvent that.

I didn't catch that message during the broadcast nor did I notice any loss in pace from Vettel.

This form of traction control may explain a part of his speed but I think a larger part of that 32-second gap was the Mercedes behind him having to conserve his tires. After Alonso got past the speed differential wasn't as big even though the Ferrari isn't as good on tires either. Later Vettel was able to grab a new

I'd further that question by asking how much effect the steering really has at speeds that high. Do you just become a bit of a passenger?

Very nice, thank you. That does look like it would suffice. If I go look at one I'll be bringing my first gen as a comparison. I just hope it drives as nicely as my current car.

I'm happy to hear that. I wonder if my local dealer has one. I'll have to go check it out.

Please don't tell me that I can get this 2015 model before the end of 2013.

I wish the car actually looked like that. The front still looks great but the high beltline hurts it and the hatch cargo area doesn't look like much more than a sedan with a liftback window. Hell, if anything the trunk looks shorter.
