FUGAed! NYT says Infiniti M35-M45 is the best

[Taro Toporific]

Last Feb. I bought a "Nissan Fuga sport" aka the Infiniti M35 to replace my design-defective, 190 3.5L Benz. The vile Japanese dealer, Yanasei Corp., refused to honor the official "service bulletin/recall" on the my Benz so I told them to stuff it. I went to Nissan to trade-in for new Fuga. Today I feel vindcated by this write-up in the New York Times

2006 Infiniti M35 and M45: The Japanese Take the Driver's Seat
New York Times---June 26, 2005
.... BMW and Mercedes-Benz still maintained their dominance, in perception if not always in reality, for most of the last 15 years.
The tables may have turned. The plush Lexus LS 430, from Toyota, has edged out big German cruisers in comparison tests, not only by Consumer Reports but by some enthusiast publications. Now the turnabout seems to be occurring among midrange sport sedans, where Japan's charge is led by the Infiniti division of Nissan.
In recent separate tests, Road & Track and Car and Driver magazines pitted the BMW 5 Series, the gold standard of $50,000 European sedans, against the latest Japanese entries: the Infiniti M45, the Lexus GS 430 and, in Car and Driver, the Acura RL.

My 2003 BMW loan comes due in April 2006. And I am counting the days till I can rid myself of this piece of shit. It is in the shop at least once a month ever since I hit about 16,000 miles. I am looking at an Infiniti G-35 Coupe 6mt. Very dissapointed with BMW and now the new 3 series is out somone should KILL Chris Bangle for screwing up the looks of BMW on all levels. Only the 6 series looks halfway decent. But still has the usual problems as all BMW. Sorry for the rant but When i pay 40K for a car I expect a little more. My 93 Honda(which was stolen 4 weeks ago by a bunch of spics) never gave me a problem even after 160,000 miles.
I can't wait to dump this piece of shit.
