2016 Infiniti Q70L 3.7 AWD Review - Go Long, China

It’s been somewhat challenging in the recent past to keep up with all the model name changes at Infiniti, but such is the case in the automotive luxury marketplace. One year real names are the ultimate fashion statement; the next it’s letters and numbers.

Infiniti seems to have taken this into consideration with naming its 2016 Infiniti Q70L 3.7 AWD.

Wjtinfwb Had an E38, loved it dearly. I thought nothing could make me love the subsequent "Bangle" 7 series, but this latest version did. Apparently the psychotic drug epidemic plaguing North America has made its way to Munich and filtered into the design studios. This car is just grotesque.
Wjtinfwb Any Focus with a manual is a great car. The automatics... beware. I've had two, both manuals, a Gen 1 SVT and a Gen 2 ST, bulletproof, super low maintenance costs, reasonably entertaining to drive and very comfortable for long drives. Unfortunately, manuals are very scarce, this one, if decently maintained and not thrashed, would be a helluva deal at 4k and under 100k miles.
Larry Bring back the Cadillac luxury, the Cadillac "float" ride suspension and beautiful plush interiors that always separated it from the rest, even Lincoln Town Cars did not measure up. I have an xt4. While a beautiful design, there is no LUXURY, the ride is hard with a stiff suspension, there is a no name poor sounding sound system, ugly cheap wheels and more unflattering features. This 2023 doesn't come close to my old 1980 Fleetwood Broughm or even my 1994 Sedan Deville.
Arthur Dailey GM could easily have fixed Cadillac while it was still the world's largest automaker. Or when it was a corporation making good profits. Now, not so much. Only large and/or profitable organizations can afford a prestige building, loss leader, 'halo' type of vehicle. With the exception of M-B, Porsche, and now BMW which was not a prestige player until after Cadillac declined, and perhaps Lexus what other prestige marques are profitable? The Escalade is what now defines Cadillac. So it is Escalade vehicles that they should concentrate on. For the market that does not care about MPG, that wants something big, bold, flashy and prefers if their purchases are overpriced because that demonstrates that they have more than enough money.
Ajla So I guess this means game over for the journos and YouTubers because they spend so much time in new vehicles.
