The same reason most people aren’t given criminal charges for crashing into other cars while using their phones, unless aggravating factors are involved (like alcohol use, or that they were fleeing from law enforcement when they did it).

You and everyone else. That’s exactly why these cars are worth more to dismantlers than anyone else.

1st order of business would be getting rid of that ghastly Strut grille.

That’s probably because the N54 has a reputation for being seriously expensive to run. But, yes, this is overpriced.

The Infiniti G/Q50/Q60 are in the same category for me as the high-performance Mopars: compelling cars that are absolutely ruined by their owner base. I wouldn’t want to be associated with the sorts of people who terrorize the streets in these cars.

Also, even though it’s a late 6MT coupe with the sport package, that…

Aftermarket.

Even if you disregard the fact that Infiniti likely relied upon its suppliers, this is probably one of Nissan’s most profitable models. The company not making money on the mainstream cars, so it needs high-ATP, high-margin cars like this.

I agree. It looks like it’s giving birth to another car at the rear.

That’s kind of back. Some newer GM cars, for instance, have a “Buckle to Drive” safety interlock, wherein they will not shift into gear unless the driver’s seat is buckled. For now, it’s an opt-in feature (exclusively through Teen Driver on some models and as a standalone on others)...but it’s only a matter of time…

That’s fair, but an unbuckled passenger is a hazard for everyone in the car, not just the person who chooses not to buckle up. I’m the last person to shout “Think of the children!” but...the would-be victims of this negligence do include children, who cannot reliably advocate for themselves around irresponsible…

The biggest lie about Saturn is that it was a good idea in the first place.

Only $10,000? I’d pay that in a heartbeat. I’ve paid more for less, trying to nurse these old out-of-warranty Euro flagships back to health. I now have a 2004 Phaeton (and not even the W12 model) that needs a lot of love.

Thank goodness it didn’t get the same rear lamp treatment as the hardtop.

It’s like PYREX vs pyrex.

Not exactly. For one thing, the C7 Corvette and 991 and 992 911s have had 7-speed manuals for years.

Right. By fleeing the scene, he prevented his employer and/or law enforcement from determining if he was, say, under the influence of something.

That’s fair.

Basically someone who is like another mom in your life, but who isn’t related by blood.

Chances are it goes for over $10K.

The vast majority of these were.
