My old Integra was probably much lower than a stock CTS-V. I don't have my computer with me, so I don't have any pics, but my DB7 was pretty low. Had to go into plazas diagonally.

I wasn't trying to make it out as a con about the car. As you said, a lot of people like that. Some people like scratching off some paint!

Thumbs down No Coupe 4 U


Last week, there had been talk that a new sketch from Infiniti, which featured brush-stroked vehicle outlines, indicated that the carmaker will be launching a two-door version of its new 2011 M sedan.

However, Infiniti denied this, saying that the sketch is a preview of some models that will be introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this year. In fact, an Infiniti spokesperson gave a statement that the idea of an M coupe is “so far off the charts.” The tease that came out during the official drive program for the 2011 QX sport utility, shows 2 “product extensions.” 1 has the design of a “volume-oriented” luxury vehicle while the other is a “performance-oriented” offering. A source said that the sketch previews the G sedan and coupe. Already, fans are excited about seeing a four-cylinder G model and a G37 version that could rival the Lexus’ IS F-Sport range.

Infiniti needs to step up and offer competition to BMW and MB. They need a flagship, a premium coupe, and an M3 competitor....

DB7 = chassis code for 3rd gen non-VTEC Integra

Even someone as modest as me would spew in every thread about my AM.... especially in Yummy's threads

They will its just going to take a lot more time! Remember, they are now going to have to focus on hybrids and other fuel saving technology in order to meet the damn Obama Cafe Standards by 2016 and right now, their entire line-up doesn't even come close to 35mpg! So Infiniti is going to have to put a lot of time and focus into that bullshit now!r

Trust me, Infiniti is far far closer to competing with BMW, MB, and Lexus in regards to different sport models then Acura is or might ever be!

I almost think it would be cooler if Infiniti's flagship was a large sport luxury sedan in the mold of the Quattroporte or Panamera rather than a more traditional approach like the Q originally was.

Something different IMHO, because not everyone needs to try the same mold.

Nobody cares about old Integra chassis codes.

It's called a "insert model year" Acura Integra.

...and it would be much cooler if you did have a real DB7

Kick back killer. I currently own two Honda products that were purchased new (have had a total of seven since age 16) and I am as pro-Honda as anybody, but I like Infiniti and I'm not going to knock them when I know they have some competitive cars.

Okay, back to work for me.

Hapa, although Infiniti isnt my favorite make its not that bad. But when you have Asshats like Smarty666 who judge people by what they drive it makes the forums shit.

Its one thing to not like a car or a brand, its another to crap on it and the people who drive them. Its obvious if you read back in Smarty666's posts that he is NOT an Acura fan and craps on them and us owners as he is an opinionated POS. He "says" he owns one but hes not a proud owner from his posts.

Sorry to have brought the poo flinging here but Ive had enough dumb ass e-thug wanna be's - this is AcuraZine a place where people can share information, idea's, pictures, and just about anything else. Unfortunatly the one thing some dont use is tact and offend others. ( mine was done only to call it out, i knew what his response would be )

Again I appologize, was nothing to do with you or anyone else besides the asshat that started it. - Infiniti is fine .. just not for me.

Ok.. back to the finity schtuff

Peace

That makes absolutely no sense! You keep repeating yourself and multi-posting on multiple threads that Infiniti sucks, is a pile of shit, etc, but now its a fine product but not for you ? yeah that makes a lot of sense. You even post your Infiniti hatred in threads that have nothing to do with Infiniti. I made the post about the ZDX and RDX to prove a point about people who post random stuff in threads that has nothing to do about the topic, but you obviously didn't understand that. I have no problem with people not liking Infiniti, but it is the way you go about doing it and when someone posts something con about the ZDX, TL, etc you go ape shit on them.

[quote]Its one thing to not like a car or a brand, its another to crap on it and the people who drive them.

Yes, you continually crap on Infiniti (a brand) and the people who drive them by your shitty comments about them as whole company by. You know I drive a Infiniti so your crapping on it and what I drive by saying Infiniti sucks, is a pile of stinky shit, etc so your hipocracy here is staggering!

I am a Acura fan. I had a 2006 before my 2008 so yeah, I'm not a Acura fan except for being a repeat customer! The only thing I've complained about is the new TL and its questionable styling choices, size, etc and the ZDX in its styling and looks department. Oh because, I don't like some of the things Acura is done but that doesn't mean I'm not a proud owner of my own TL, which still to this day looks absolutely classy and perfect in size! That doesn't mean I'm not a proud owner of the one I HAVE. At least it is not as butt ugly looking as the current one!

[quote]Sorry to have brought the poo flinging here but Ive had enough dumb ass e-thug wanna be's - this is AcuraZine a place where people can share information, idea's, pictures, and just about anything else.

Your not sorry, your low classness shows in the language and derogatory remarks you call people on a board where members are to share information, idea's, pictures, and just about anything else. Unfortunately, the one thing some don't use (ie JZDX) is tact and offend others. Something you just proved again in your latest name calling post.

[quote]Again I appologize, was nothing to do with you or anyone else besides the asshat that started it. - Infiniti is fine .. just not for me. [quote]

Again, your not sorry for nothing. Infiniti sucks, is crap, a stinky pile of shit, etc buts is fine product but not for you, yeah

Infiniti gets lumped in with Nissan for CAFE. So every Leaf they sell makes a difference. But now CAFE includes some per model rules, too (which kind of makes it sort-of-CAFE since it is not strictly a Corporate Average).

I have no problem with anyone not liking the ZDX .. I do have a problem with people talking down to people who own them. That whole blurb you wrote out is just that .. a bunch of worthless back peddling. You talk like your better than everyone on here and act like a moderator when in fact.. your nothing.

You must be very sad in life and obviously have a lot of anger issues. You should get that taken care of.. its not good for your health.

ethug.. because real life is too scary :gheylaugh

^ Seriously, where did all these fking noob dumbasses come from?

These threads are not made to argue like some junior high idiots.

I'm better!

No, I'm better!

Please shut up already.

Don't say you are done arguing when you are clearly not done. So insecure like my ex gfs back in 7th grader days.

I've asked nicely before to KNOCK IT OFF with the attacks. If you want to discuss cars and what you think is better or is your preference, that's your effing prerogative and right. No issues. But, if you can't take another person's opinion and decide to make it personal: NOT ALLOWED.

Mark my words, next thread I see that gets -ed up gets a nice vacation courtesy of me or anyone else moderating in here.

lol!! Anyway, I just read on the Infiniti news forum that they put in and got approved the use of the term Infiniti Performance Line! I wander if down the road, they are going to start doing what BMW, Lexus, and Audi has begun doing in having a specific high performance model for some of there regular model line-up? I guess it is a logical direction to go.

Do you think the M would eventually get something like that?

You wander on roads? That's dangerous.

I think they'll do a performance line that stems from IPL.

IPL sounds cool, but tacked onto a car does not.

G IPL? G37 IPL? It just sounds awkward.

I think it sounds strange too, but I think people will get used to it.

M, AMG, RS, V, F, SVT, SRT, TRD, NISMO, S-Line, R-Line, R...on and on.

I think once people here it more and more it will get set in the mind.
