So can anyone tell me what I am suppose to do with the oh crap handle on the driver's side? Am I suppose to take a hard left turn and grab on while turning the steering wheel? Just curious as to what Infiniti might have been thinking while giving us this extra "feature."

 

Getting in and out of the car.

 

i have never seen anyone use those for that

 

Maybe to help some out of shape people get in or out of the car???
I think because of the right and left hand drive versions, it saves money to only produce one version with handles on both sides...

 

i guess so. i was hoping for a more entertaining answer. i remember my acura only had it on the passenger side so seeing it in my G on the driver kind of made me curious.

 

For me its a good thing to hold onto while relaxing at a traffic light. Its much better the the old card holder which didn't actually ever seem to 'hold' anything in.

 

Symmetry.

 

to use for support during intercourse

 

Someone had to throw that out there!

 

Your first point is why it's there. As to the second, it would save money not to include the part.

 

If you have a G37 (not sure) go look at the headliner around the handle this thread refers to. If the handle was not included it would still have the recessed area for it, unless they made a right and left hand drive version of the headliner, that would raise production costs...
Understand?

 

I have a G37 and realize what you're saying. Still there is no need to include the handle if they wanted to save costs. Understand?

 

Infiniti would never do something that stupid, thank god they understand...

 

It's there for in case your car goes under water and you have to hold on to something while you get yourself out.

..or that sexy time thing someone mentioned.
