This is the reason why I often dismiss new releases from Infiniti/Nissan. (and other car makers as well) The I35 and the Q are not that old...yet their sales are sagging. I cannot speak on sales of the G35 sedan, but the original post said the DC area had a large inventory....and they weren't moving very fast.
Seems like Nissan's cars create a lot of hoopla when they come out, but their designs don't seem to age to well. Possibly because they are easily outdone by their competitors?
Case in point, the G35 will most likely be trounced by the new TL.
Well, the Q45 has never been a great seller so people better know what they're buying when they're considering the Q45. I would still take the Q45 over the other competition anyway. The I35 is OLD. It's based on the old Maxima. It's FWD and it will most likely be dead in a year so I'm pretty sure the slow sales could also be attribute to Nissan shifting production from I35 to G35. G35 sedan are still selling well. Obviously the're not selling every single one they made but neither is any other car. I see plenty of TL too, does that mean they're selling poorly?
If resale value is so important to you, then maybe you should consider Lexus or BMW then. Unless the TL will have AWD, there's no way the next TL will trounce the G35, at least not in driving dynamics. Sure it can be more luxurious, but the ES330 is already perfect for that.
