I factored that in, which is why I wouldn't own one without having a daily. GT-R would definitely cost more, no doubt about it. I'm coming from the perspective of always having wanted one, and the pricing on the new sedan makes me think why not just save a little bit more and get the car I've always wanted?

Granted, the GT-R is definitely not for everyone, but I suspect that some buyers like myself will give it a second thought and that *could* push demand up. For a while the pre-owned GT-R market was falling quite precipitously, as in they were giving $15k discounts off of MSRP in 2014-15 for a few months.

The 4 series has it too and I think it is retarded. It feels to me like the starter would burn out faster. you are using it much more than intended and it just feels weird.

It is a very good feature, especially if you have to deal with stop and go traffic, usually saves around 10 percent. It should be a must these days.

And if you don't like it, it can always be turned off!!!.

Yes it can be turned off I kno but its irritating when ur the passenger. Has anyone been in a car when the driver mashes on the gas pedal after the engine has turned off and doesn't turn back on fast enough and the car jerks. It's pretty irritating

At $50K, that's a major issue for me.

This doesn't mean much to me, but it sounds like a deal breaker to you...

Future infiniti vehicles will offer Android Auto as a feature.

Seems plausible down the line...

I foresee performance hybrid drives being much more popular in the near future. Cars can rely on electric when crawling in traffic and it can provide extra power during acceleration. If F1 cars use it, street cars will use it soon enough.

Jatco will be keeping the 7 speed in production for a long time. There is no sign of 8-speed anywhere in sight.
