re: Is Nissan about to cancel the Infiniti brand in the US?

I was surprised when the Japanese luxury concept took off. It was in the late 80s or early 90s, I think. The notion that someone looking at, say, BMWs would comparison shop at a place that sold high-end Toyotas seemed dubious to me.
The Japanese succeeded, though, because those first Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti products were really good. It's been a while since any of those brands put out something that really appealed to me, though, like the original Q45 or SC400 did.

To be fair the Jap brands are hell of a lot better cars to own long term or to buy off a lease. Want a 3 year old luxury brand, Jap over Euro is hell of a lot cheaper.
Given that, no one cares about long term ownership when buying a luxury car new.

I had an original SC400. I received many speeding tickets at 18 years old. I wish I had kept that car, I probably would have totaled it at some point.

Not even the Lexus LC 500? Every time is see one on the road I stare at it as long as I can. One of the last NA v8s and the one I’ve sat in had very premium interior finishings.
