RE: Infiniti M: 5-series Rival Unveiled
Discussion
I am currently looking for a 4/5 year old biggish saloon and there is a massive lurch in prices between E/5/A6 diesels and what were similar priced cars when new-the 300C just about holds its own in saloon form(but oddly not estate),but I'm guessing these things will be down with the Saabs and Cadillacs if they actually sell any new ones to depreciate in the first place.

Looks OK, not great but not ugly
Probably not built as well and won't drive as well as the 5-series, but can't say for sure until I've driven one.
Should be a cheap used buy a few years down the line?
Probably built just as well if not better if you ask me.Looks OK, not great but not ugly

As for chassis etc I have never driven either, sure to be plenty or reviews though.

is everyone now following suit on bmw with the whole centre console/idrive style system and screen now?
What like the system Mercedes Benz implemented first?When and what car did Merc debut the central controller as replacement for buttons on?
BMW brought it out in Sept 2001 on the 7 series to much derision from public and press.

Please don't argue over what is, to be honest, a sh*t idea.
I've never understood this. I keep reading about how the iDrive is "complicated" or "confusing". It;s a damn sight less confusing than a wall of buttonsI don't own an iPod, my mobile phone is 6 years old, and i had no trouble using it without even opening the instruction manual. Franckly you have to be some sort of (literal) retard to find it problematic.

I really don't understand Infiniti over here. Lots of press coverage and articles, new models etc but I've never ever seen one on the road.
If it had a Kia badge on it, I wouldn't view it any differently. It just doesn't have the minerals to mix it with the Germans. I'd have the new C5 over that Infiniti design-wise, and the XF over them all, BMW included.

Sorry, Herr Car Maker, your new BMW and Mercedes has just lost to the Oriental upstarts.
Where do I sign up?
You have to sign up where the row of people with white sticks are standing.Where do I sign up?
You'll look like a proper tt in your extended old Hyundai coupe lookalike, still horses for courses I suppose. It would be boring if we all had taste....
