Yes but the FX did. Which further proves my point that Infiniti’s naming convention is confusing. I also forgot that they even made the EX, which I now realize is what this QX50 actually is.

Why it doesn’t have a 5.o liter V8 in it like it’s supposed to have? Why Infiniti moved to a naming convention that makes no sense at all is beyond me. Idiots. Their old way of naming cars by their displacement worked quite well.

You know what’s crazy is that you could get heated seats on Saabs all the way back in 1972. That’s when they first introduced electronic heated seats. They were the first brand ever to do so. Or so they say.

Whenever I see one of these landing I just can’t help but say in my head in a British accent

I’m sorry, but any company or individual for that matter that can dupe the federal government out of $51 million dollars and give it back to people who paid their hard earned money into a system that perpetually wastes taxpayer’s money is a hero.

What I would do if I had one of these cars is get the fix done to make the feds happy, then immediately after that, turn around and have my favorite mechanic, or myself reverse the recall.

Welp, time for me to start looking for a TDI. Sounds like a buyer’s market is just around the corner.

Cool Nissan. Make the car look really aggressive to disguise the fact that it’s still one of the most boring cars on sale in America today. The thing is though, it will work with the general public and Nissan knows it.

No kidding. I actually used to like Nissan until they started putting CVTs in everything and making their cars ugly. Then Toyota decided they wanted to play too, so they hired a catfish as their head of design.

Uh that’s a Legacy, not an Impreza.

I almost did buy a Saab 9-2x Aero, but the guy wanted $11,500 for it and wasn’t wanting to negotiate. It was in decent shape, but it had 125k (too many miles to be asking $11,500), horribly warped brake rotors, the original clutch, a filthy engine bay, and a stupid exhaust. 9-2x Aeros go for $6500-$9000 or so all day…

I wasn’t alive when Nixon was president, but I think even he would be horrified if he saw what the EPA has become today.

I think you need to start looking for a job as either a judge, a prosecutor, or the leader of an authoritarian government.

Here’s a wood scent for you.

If I had dollar for every time I’ve seen a shift knob just slapped on with zero fucks given and the shift pattern totally off center, then I would have an amount somewhere in the 3 digits at this point. I can’t take it. It drives me nuts!

You think that they can and should crush 500,000 cars? You are being an unrealistic extremist.

No. It doesn’t. It’s still a Prius.

1st gear: I’m not actually too worried about VW at the moment. What I’m more curious about is if any other automakers have been doing similar things to cheat on emissions tests and haven’t been caught yet.

They were trying to avoid that, yes, but I think they gave up on that awhile ago. Honestly at this rate I’m waiting on them to give up bringing the SKYACTIV-D to the U.S. entirely. It was supposed to be here 3 years ago.

It’s another way to say it passed the test with flying colors, basically.
