Congrats on the Stinger. It does have some quirks but it really is a fantastic vehicle.
I have owned 7 INFINITI vehicles in the last 15 years. My last one was a fully loaded 2016 Q50 Silver Sport(300 HP) that I turned in last year.
When I turned in the Q50 the finance manager said “Can I interest you in a new INFINITI?”. I politely declined and told him I already bought a Stinger. He said “I figured that would be your answer”. He said they just can’t sell new cars like they did before.
He said their used car sales were the only thing keeping the dealership going.
The 2021 INFINITI Q50s came out recently. They are basically unchanged from the 2016 car I had. Well at least they have
Apple CarPlay now but they don’t have heads up displays, flat bottom steering wheel, cooled seats, wireless charging, or many other features we take for granted in other cars.
INFINITI sales are down about 40% on the year. While other car companies are recovering now INFINITI hasn’t seemed to recover at all.
It is a shame but it is reality. Kia and Genesis have taken over the Japanese luxury sedan market from INFINITI and even Lexus.
I really enjoyed my Q50 while I had it but I enjoy my Stinger SO MUCH MORE.
I always like a nice set of wheels on a car. That was my biggest hesitation with the Stinger. The stock wheels just weren’t my style.
I know some people won’t like the wheels I like but here all the last 3 sets of wheels I had on my cars. I think the
G70 wheels I have on my Stinger now look the best.
