OT - sorry
After spending another $1300 in insane and needless repairs, I decided to finally dump my '02 Volvo S80 last week. It got to the point that I actually hated that useless piece of garbage. Anyway, having had nothing but good luck with Japanese upmarket cars, I decided to test drive an Infinity G37 Coupe. Nice car - fun,fast and precise, but the seats are so heavily bolstered my rump couldn't get comfortable and the rear cargo area couldn't accommodate more than one set of golf clubs. Salesperson suggested I try something different. I noticed this vehicle on the showroom floor. It sort of looked like a swoopy SUV but it smaller and had a more contoured, almost sexy shape to it.
Anyway it was explained to me that this is a new car for Infinity, a technology platform for the company and loaded with useful (and not so useful gadgets). It's a luxury SUV/ Coupe Crossover. If a G37 coupe mated with a FX SUV, this would be the result. Has the 300 hp motor of the G series cars, all wheel drive, technology everywhere and it handles like a sports sedan. I have no idea why they use "SUV" in the description since it has no practical resemblance to an SUV. I test drove three of them and bought one on the spot. The car's not for everyone because rear seat room is limited and with the seats up rear cargo area is limited as well (4-6 golf bags). With the seats down (like a station wagon) tons of storage. Anyway, just thought I would share this unique car with others that may be looking for something different. I'm pleased to be out of the Volvo forever! And happy to be back on the road in something cool.
Cheers
