Hurray - I see that after 100 posts I'm no longer a 'junior member'. No-one has ever explained why we have to have this irritating grading, where we're all supposed to be 'virtual' friends. WDB will have to find some other fag to clean his shoes, empty his fireplace and bring his breakfast now

My secretary recently took delivery of a Suzuki Ignis. A very cute, tall, quasi 4WD thingy. The rear looks a bit chopped off, but I can see objections despite it probably being exactly what she needs. The main objection of course being she 'is not driving the same car as my secretary'...
Pity really, they (wife and secretary) are the same age, similar build and colour and have similar interests. Of course there some differences the obvious one being......

Nice wee car actually. And would Mrs E really be that "status conscious" as to give two hoots about that? Surely not? Or maybe I just don't get this English class/pecking order thing.

Yes, about that. Distinct lack of toast hereabouts today.

Dude. We've talked about this. The answer is Infiniti QX30.

Infinitis remind me of what someone once said in the House of Commons about Neil Kinnock: 'If Mr Kinnock is the answer, what on earth could have been the question?'
Difficult to see where Infiniti fits in the market. I suppose it's meant to be Nissan's answer to Lexus - but it hasn't made much of an impression so far.

I see a fair few here, the town has the original dealer, and it's a very big and prominent one. I drive past every day and think I'd very much like one, if only there were a large estate available instead of SUVs only. A large petrol hybrid saloon would be nice.
I'm not interested in where a brand fits in to a market. I have no idea why anyone would even register that as an issue when buying a car.

The 3.5 litre Q70 Hybrid saloon is probably quite nice - but pricey.

Ugly SoB tho isnt it. From the rear it looks like a early 90s Kia.

Link doesn't work for me. Is this that Nissan import you like, the one that looks like a V70 drawn from dictation over the phone?

It sure is. I'd prefer a Skoda Superb - test driving one tomorrow. A diesel DSG but I'd go for a petrol if I decided to go for one. The 1.4 petrol will do 40mpg easily.

An Infiniti?? A what??? Mrs E will wonder if I have driven off a cliff with madness. Its not a brand. its not even a bad brand, its a non-brand....
Anyway, lots of time to ponder and wander around dealerships...We may find something eventually that even I like to drive. I recall we test drove a Mini Clubman, the one with split rear doors. A bit odd and also low, but actually a nice drive if you can see past the thick vertical line in the rear view mirror. Hmmm maybe I need to run that one past her again??
