The reason fewer than 2% for manual gearbox sales? Infiniti only offered the 6MT Sedan loaded and as the highest priced model. Not as a stand alone option. I explaned the following to my local dealer's general manager, when he called to get me to trade in my 2003 G35 6MT sedan: 1) If infiniti continues to offer less choices for the customer 2) And can only get a manual gearbox as their most expensive model 3) Dump the manual gearbox, like the did with the IPL Convertible... Then why should I not buy from another brand. In fact I told him I did.
The exterior is nice but why in the hell would Infiniti change the name of the G Series? That name actually stuck, unlike the very forgettable I30/35.
Also, the exterior is very nice but that interior is a no ma'am. They need something better looking than this. It LOOKS cheap, so there is no need to feel anything.
Nissan has always been a hit or miss with interiors though. I've never cared for the G Series interiors but the 2nd Generation M Series was a very nice vehicle both inside and out.
