Nissan is a sad place right this minute.

my boss was complaining about the “buzzy” toyota 4 cylinder he got as a courtesy car while his v6 lexus was in the shop.  people i think notice the feeling of torque (which gives them confidence that the car will be fast enough to pass and merge) and luxury buyers definitely notice smoothness of the engine - if you…

I rented a Q50 back in April and that was the biggest thing to me. The car felt great — competent chassis, nice twin turbo V6 powertrain, comfy seats and... infotainment from 2009. Infiniti, why? The thing starts at $48k and doesn’t come with features you can find on a 2.0T Touring Accord for $36K. No radar cruise, no…

It’s one of the main reasons I got rid of mine. Its. So. Laggy. Nevermind that it’s confusing and overcomplicated. Infiniti’s always look better on paper but the actual use and execution is sup par. I had a 2015 Q50S and later on got a 2015 BMW 528xi. If you compared a line by line spec sheet of features the Infiniti…

I still don’t know why manufacturers insist on adding their own nav/streaming apps/etc. Just use Carplay or android auto. If a customer REALLY doesn’t have a smartphone, include a $50 android tablet that they can use for it. Then the auto manufacturer isn’t responsible for maintaining firmware and all that nonsense.…

That plus the atrocious steering are the 2 things that keep me from even CONSIDERING an Infiniti.

Yep, spot-on. My mother-in-law has this car, a 2014 which I believe was the first year for them. Compared to my wife’s 2016 Outback it’s a real joke inside. Hell, I get into my pair of 2004 Mazdas and find them more appealing to sit in.

Wow! I never realized they were this bad!

Please don’t compare this thing to a Crown Victoria. It’s insulting the Crown Victoria

Seriously. I rented a Q50 the other day and couldn’t believe how...meh... It was. Didn’t do anything particularly well. Tech was a joke. Not sure who the target buyer is anymore.

It’s been a long road getting from there to here. 

For some reason it seems that folks most interested in regulatory affairs over the past 25 to 40 years have been the ones most interested in rolling regulations back or completely gutting them.

They stopped providing the adapter. So technically they aren’t wrong.

Who pays? In my country it would be the gov’t, so, taxpayers and corporations in effect.

it isn’t lab made meat. it is a veggie burger that tastes like the real thing. I’ve had them at bare burger and when you throw bacon on top, with pickles and ketchup etc I honestly can’t taste the difference.

You do realize that the time/episode constraints were self-imposed, right?  Martin wanted to keep it going.  HBO wanted to keep it going.  D&D said no.

oh yeah dude. huge oversight on my part not including a lengthy aside disavowing ariana grande in this post. I'll get right on that 

FUN FACT!: In the NA Miatas the door is actually used to reinforce the chassis. In fact the aftermarket even makes this cool thing to help with that. (Below)

To be fair, these people are US citizens and either swore away their foreign citizenship, or are literally US born, and have been elected to represent and run the US government. Trump is an asshole.
