First off that is one BEAUTIFUL car! I know looks are subjective but I love the look of this car. Very spacious inside. Whether it’s cruising on the highway and enjoying Premium Bose, which is way better than the Harman Kardon stereo in 2010 E350 I have tested. The clarity is ultra crisp and clear. Love the interior styling of this car, the center console looks sharp (with even new ’11 model on its way) and very user friendly interface, The new 8" Nav is awesome, love the live traffic and updated graphics on the screen. My favorite has to be heated/cooled seats, music box functions and auto tilt rear view mirrors. The car is super comfortable even with Sport pkg I have, is really not much different from luxury, very slightly stiffer if you ask me. The M35 def has power, I have yet to push it over 3000RPM but I hit 90 in a heartbeat, you can feel the 390lbtq pulling. The car gets a ton of looks, since I install trunk deck lid and roof spoilers’ combo, so I can understand ppl checking the car out. The car glides down the road strong and squeak free, engine is bit loud, but in a good way, it is music to my ears However Problem one has been the marketing. Nissan fails miserably in this area. There is no reason for this. Whenever you talk about Japanese high line, Lexus comes up. Why not Infiniti?

Replying to: carolinabob (Oct 28, 2009 4:50 am) Personally I think this is really good because many owners of true "luxury" cars expect a whole lot and are quick to mark them down if less than perfect. Whereas, many cars that have luxury features, but sell for much less are marked higher because the owners are so happy to have paid a lot less for them.

Replying to: houdini1 (Oct 29, 2009 6:11 pm) Also, while M-B may be 23rd, it also had some models that are better than some models at the very top of the list. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate a by model list. That is why it is important to compare specific models when looking for data. It appears that some of the M-B models really drag down the brand and some of the past years contribute to this as well. Good news is that it is improving. |
