Infinity declares...

[focusfreak]

I'm sorry, but this has been bugging me for some time. I don't know if this radio add is still on, but when Infinity came out with the G35, the radio add declared it "the next muscle car". Is it just me, or is Infinity stupid? First of all, you don't see GM or Ford or even Dodge declaring their sport compacts the next rice rockets, do you? No, so how does some Jap company think that their foreign tin can will ever be given the title of "muscle car". Muscle cars, in my opinion, are Camaros, Mustangs, Vipers, Saleens, Corvettes, etc. Not G35's or Civics or any other import. Please tell me where Infinity crapped out this idea. By the way, whatever their smoking, I want some of that!

Infinity is really beat for saying that. Infinity with a "muscle car"? Please! Imports are not muscle cars or hot rods. It's an over-priced lawnmower.

the clasic GTO and mustang, and goad runner were fast family cars, thats what the G35 is, its a 14sec family car, only now adays small high powered 6 and i4's are what the youth wanna tune, not v8's. its, technicly the Z350 fits it more, but hey, it still fits

[03Focus_Guy]

Well in my opinion, tuning a inline 4 is much harder than a v8. even with a v8 you already start out with more power and if thats what these tuners are looking for...they need to their story straight

It's "Infiniti"; notice the "I" at the end. This belongs in the Infiniti Forum. Moved.

Wrong car. It was the V8-powered M45 that was advertized as the 'Intelligent Musclecar.' There was even a short film made, a la BMW Films style, featuring a mid-40s gentlemen racing two younger guys in muscle cars.

first off, the thread starter is an idiot. the G35 is a sweet car. I'd pick it over any american muscle! I don't think they should call that car "muscle" and ruin their name. And that "rice rocket" goes 0 to 60 in around 5 seconds and has a pop-up navigation system.

Not only does the thread starter have the wrong car (it's the M45 that's the Intelligent muscle car, not the G35) but they have the wrong company too. Infinity makes audio systems.

Thread score? -45 pts.

I have a copy saved on my comp. Will have to look and see if I can find it online. I'd email it to you but it's 38 megs.

edit:
I'm not having any luck. I'm pretty sure I initially downloaded it from Infiniti's official site but it seems to be gone from there. They have downloadable commercials for the other cars but not for the M.
Maybe contact Infiniti here and ask them if you can get a copy? I know I downloaded it around April of last year.

I looked on Infinitinews.com and Infinitiartwork.com (which has downloadable commercials and ads for people working in tv and newspaper) but it was not there.

i'll poke around and find it. thanks anyway.

this is to damir831, I don't appreciate being called an idiot. you don't see me calling you that. And to BP2K2Max, it doesn't matter what car Infiniti declares a musclecar, they will never produce a muscle car. They are an import manufacturer and that is all there is to it. So damir831, you can sit on it and spin you little panzy. and to BP2K2Max, you have to understand what i'm saying, and that is that when it comes to raw power, american cars are the only ones to rightfully declare their cars "musclecars", I appreciate you clarifying which model it was though, thank you.

zx2srdotnet, where did you get the idea that the mustangs and GTOs were family cars? they were muscle cars or sports cars, not family cars. even insurance companies like AAA title cars like that under sports cars.

well the japanese dont need muscle cars, think about where all your gas is going if you get a muscle car? my friends uncle has an old z28 camaro (i think) and he gets like 6mpg WOW man ur guna get places with that thing, if japan was the size of the US then their cars would own already, but theri whoel friggin country is just a little bigger then ca

I'm not talking about gas mileage because I know that muscle cars (the real ones) do guzzle gas like it's going out of style. If you think about though, no matter what car it is, after you do some mods to it, it will get worse gas mileage with each mod (i.e. turbo, supercharger, etc.)
