Chinese customers will be able to help themselves to not one but two long-wheelbase Infiniti M sedans., just in case up-and-coming plutocrats don’t want an Audi A6L.
At 5.9 inches longer than the standard car, customers will be able to choose from the Infiniti M25L (with the 2.5L 232 horsepower V6) or the M35hL with 360 horsepower. Both cars will have reclining rear seats, sunshades and an entertainment system, as well as auto-closing rear doors and trunk. Unfortunately, there’s no way to stop the incessant beeping of the M’s electronic nannies.

- EBFlex No they shouldn’t. It would be signing their death warrant. The UAW is steadfast in moving as much production out of this country as possible
- Groza George The South is one of the few places in the U.S. where we still build cars. Unionizing Southern factories will speed up the move to Mexico.
- FreedMike I'd say that question is up to the southern auto workers. If I were in their shoes, I probably wouldn't if the wages/benefits were at at some kind of parity with unionized shops. But let's be clear here: the only thing keeping those wages/benefits at par IS the threat of unionization.
- 1995 SC So if they vote it down, the UAW gets to keep trying. Is there a means for a UAW factory to decide they no longer wish to be represented and vote the union out?
- Lorenzo The Longshoreman/philosopher Eri Hoffer postulated "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and ends up as a racket." That pretty much describes the progression of the United Auto Workers since World War II, so if THEY are the union, the answer is 'no'.

Look at the success Mercedes had back in the 80s with their S-class sedans. The longer version (SEL not SE) gave the sedan a very elegant look. I have a 1987 300SDL which, IMHO, still carries itself with a regal presence.
That would be the first Japanese car I'd buy, gorgeous with proper options. Shame it won't come here, i'm done importing cars...
