But what I very much hate about Nissan is how they treat people. A perfect example is the legal battle they got into with an individual over the domain nissan.com. But one can also look at how they treat their paying customers - ESCL and CSC failure immediately come to mind on this forum. Unfortunately, this money-first mindset and ruthless business tactics is par for the course in big business these days

Let me clarify so my words cannot be skewed, others may not have copied the actual Juke, they copied the idea and have taken aim at the Juke. Since the Juke entered the market and with huge success, many others have entered their own versions of a mini compact SUV. When I bought my first Juke, a 2011 AWD S model brand new, they did not know how to classify the car. They called it an "AWD 5dr Wagon I4". Since others have entered the market they branded the type as "Mini Compact/Crossover SUV". Others in the segment are:
Fiat 500X 2014 - Present Jeep Renegade 2015 - Present Buick Encore 2012 - Present Hyundai (unnamed to date) Coming 2017 Mazda CX-3 2015 - Present Toyota C-HR Coming 2017 Kia Soul (2nd Gen) 2013 - Present To name a few.

Infiniti is a luxury brand, of course they get better treatment. They get a certain class of people who buy them, people with more money....

I am not always the best with words, "conceptually" is definitely what I meant.

Performance wise, the Golf R is GREAT. What kept me out of it was it's the most BORING LOOKING CAR ON THE PLANET!!!! Yuck!!! There's only one hot hatch I want. And that's the A45amg. Waiting for the confirmation if in fact it is coming in 2018

Hydraulic steering is definitely good but dat Q60 is butt ugly and huge.
Wat I like about the GTI is the simple styling with little accents here and dere just enough to make it comical looking. Too many cars out dere with crazyarse wavey lines. I understood why it was a benchmark of hot hatches. Plenty of modern tech inside too and fast. At least mine can easily keep up with a 370Z. |
