Something about these guys just are so uninteresting to watch on YouTube. I'm sure they're fun guys to talk about cars with, but the whole channel seems so off the cuff.

Infiniti anything is now garbage to me.
The last car of their I owned was the COTY G35 in 2003. Loved it, drove great and handed it off to a family member who is still driving it today (with 280k on the odo). What they've done to the brand is a disgrace.

Yikes...
As a former Q50 RS owner and a current M340i owner, I can say this is one of the worst reviews I've ever seen. Some cringe-worthy (paraphrased) statements include: - A vehicle like this (q50) with a little bit of tuning could match a GT-R in terms of track performance - The exhaust outlets on (the q50) are large enough to fit tommy's head in them - (talking about BMW infotainment) if you learn it right, get the right cadence, it's almost as fast as the infiniti - for me to buy one of these i'd have to have an emotional connection, which I kind of had more with the infiniti

Maybe Genesis can fill that void, though the lackluster sales of the G70 is unfortunate. I'd be all over a g70 3.5T with a manual. |

I tried to watch this last night and couldn't make it past 5 minutes or so. Just plain bad lol.
Also, is that how the infotainment looks on most newer Infiniti models? If so, GROSS. |

Yup... been that way since 2014. Even their newest model, the QX50 which got that new variable compression engine that they made such a fuss about but turned out to be nothing special... same infotainment.

Truly painful to watch.
*points to metal and touches it* "I think this is metal but I'm not sure. No, this isn't metal, this doesn't feel like metal." The M340 isn't a perfect car by far, and I love watching videos that level legitimate criticism toward it, but I left that video wondering how big the check was that Infiniti gave these guys. Infiniti would have been better off putting that money toward replacing that 2004 interior rather than investing in that dumpster fire. |

THEY HAVE 890 k SUBS WOW BTW i also came from a 2014 Q50s 3.7, yes the interior is basically the same with diff steering wheel , fancier stitching. The car was super reliable put 100k on it just oil and brake services, for daily spirited driving it was the perfect. Had to come back to BMW cant compare the fit finish and enjoyment Last edited by F30.N54.lol; 03-09-2020 at 09:17 PM.. |

Terrible review. I've driven both of these, and the handling/steering of the Infiniti was horrendous and very artificial. I also used to own a 2014 Q60S and I liked that car for what it was.
Not even remotely on the same level IMO. M340 is light years better I think

...And let's not forget mentioning the garbage that is a CVT
Infiniti feels more and more like the new Olds.

But yes CVT is garbage. Something that plagues the Nissan lineup and the Infiniti QX50/QX60 SUV's.
