    I like how "silver chrome S badge on the trunk" was actually itemized. That's hilarious. In other news, Infiniti is a dead brand to 6MT drivers who value having a proper transmission in a sport sedan.

      Hardly anybody wants to deal with rowing gears in traffic. You may sell .005% of manual cars. Not everybody lives in the country where traffic doesn't exist. Those of us in the city don't want that. Not to mention Auto's are better than MT it's not the 80's or 90's anymore.
