So, I would definitely put it in the list with the TSX and ES and it's better looking than either of them.
The A4 is more compact TSX sized. I was talking about midsized lux cars for around $35K. On that list would be the CTS, ES, and TL. Only one that's revolting is the TL, and the TL still sells like 2K a month.

I think Nissan/Infiniti want to get in that market because the G competes with compact sports sedans, like the A4 and 3 series. A midsized FWD lux car under $40K could add a few thousand sales a month easy for them.

The A4 is still considered compact? It's so much bigger than my B6 was. Wow.

Good to know.

Yeah it's HUGE, but so is the new TSX

For some reason most people are lumping both cars (new A4 and TSX) in the compact class even though their the size of the last gen Camry. But the TL, ES, and CTS have also grown in size (the TL is the size of the last gen 7 series ), and they're still called "midsize".
