Was in the dealership over the weekend for my 4000 miles oil change and check up. Did an extensive walk of the lot while there. A couple of observations:

• there sure are alot of QX80's on the lot... rows and rows of them. obviously they are not selling too many of them. At $70K i can see why
• they still have a couple of 2013 G37's for sale
• some 2014 q50's are still on the lot.

Withg regard to the Q40's i found it interesting that they also have the "3.7" badge on the side like the Q50 does.

I saw the license plate "Lake Norman Infiniti", and had to do a double take.

Lake Norman Infiniti wont stop calling me, ever since I let them flash my trans. They are trying to get me to lease or purchase a new car.

That's where I purchased my 2011 G37S. I get it serviced at the Independence location. They both call me all the time. I'm due for maintenance now, so I guess one will get their wish. It's always fun to look at the new stuff.

I went to the Independence location twice, both times with buying a new car in mind. Twice i was completely ignored, not one saleman came up to me to ask if i needed anything. Left both times with nothing and bought my cars in Lake Norman.

Are they cool about flashing the trans? Do they know to use the Consult 3 cable first, then the Consult 3 plus?

LKN Infiniti reflashed my FX35 tranny after i told them the car was lurching forward slightly and randomly at stop lights.

That car right has been (essentially) unchanged since 2007, yet has had three different model names, spanning 9 model years.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...

At least the G35 and the G37 made sense and didn't confuse the public.

When even automobile magazine writers are scratching their heads it's a big blunder.

And now that guy moved on to Cadillac where he's going to implement the same failed strategy.

Did u folks see the new Mercedes named convention for their SUVs and cars? They are doing something similar to what Infiniti did.
