teh Legacy GT - Cobb stage 1

[Royal Tiger]

Chike I think you meant Lexus. Infinity trails only Acura in mean age group among "upscale intermediates" like Lexus, Infinity, Acura, SAAB, Volvo, etc... When you jump up to luxury mainstream you get BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, etc... Subaru is trying to push itself into the "upscale intermediates" and away from the perceived lower Japanese brands. Volkswagen and Audi make alot of similier cars on essentially the same platforms, but there is a definate difference in perceived status.

No I meant Infiniti. But I would agree that younger consumers drive infinitis compared to Lexus, Volvo, etc.

I just want my next car to be something sporty, sensible and pleasing to my eyes...

i never considered Infiniti to be a "geezer" brand.

i like the G35 coupe, but the sedan is kinda ugly, IMHO.
this G35 coupe is pretty sweet :

Go ahead Chike, call that one a geezer car!!!!! Lexus doesn't have anything to compare with that. The SC430 is fugly.

Infinity > Lexus

Even though they may not be quite as reliable as they should be. I'd take a G35 coupe or M45 anyday.

Maybe Infiniti isn't a 'major' geezer brand, but I haven't seen any young people driving them in my area - always mid 40's folks.

$645 to push a button and flash 40 more hp and 55 more ft-lbs of torque - its a no-brainer!!! its also a CEL code reader, too!

The Infiniti G35 Coupe is so hot, I'd almost consider it against a 928 S4, almost. Alan's picture made me stare for a long while!! Gotta love black sports cars.

after you buy the AP, stage2 (+60hp/+90 ft-lbs over stock) is just a downpipe away. you could also just gut the cat out of the stock downpipe (for free) to qualify for the stage 2 map!

i think stage 1 will suffice for now. like i even need 300ft-lbs of torque anyway. i'm gonna end up killing myself in that car. besides, i'm getting used to driving the hyundai now.
