I think your responses in this thread are pretty gay if you ask me. Extremely biased and poorly thought out.

But no, it's not gay. It's extremely hard to break into that particular segment as it is driven almost completely by brand cache. Acura is smart in waiting until they have their lower end set up before trying to dig into it.

Just like at Infiniti...The Q45 is a great car, but it sells less than the current RL does per year. That's ****ing sad.

Clearly you've been both intelligent and informative in this thread. I'm sorry if our lack of flagrant nissan cocksucking seems uninformed to you.

But with his argument, Lexus and Infiniti must be gay too for not having a NSX competitor. :rofl:

NSX is a failure, why would anyone compete with it?

The NSX was never meant to be a sales leader and more of an icon for the brand with the whole product being hand built instead of off an assembly line. Yes, its way long in the tooth and priced too high now, but has still won some awards in Europe recently.

The Q45, on the other hand, is a failure. And Honda doesn't want to rush into that niche.

hahahaha fair.

qtiger knows I don't expect you guys to worship any Nissan whatever.

But it bothers me when people attack Infiniti. Nissan hasn't had the resources to invest in making Infiniti nice and hasn't been able to bring over the JDM tyteness that you'd like to see. The G35 has changed that. Honda, Nissan, and Toyota don't make enough profit in Japan to NOT make their cars saleable in both the JDM and US markets as much as possible.

David E Davis of Automobile Magazine made a great commencement speaker today.
