Not getting involved in this never ending car vs. car battle
but Toyota/Lexus has over twice as many dealers then Nissan/Infiniti, and Lexus has way better coverage then Infiniti, its way easier to drive 10 minutes to Lexus then 50+ miles to Infiniti, and Toyota plants on a normal day can probably produce 2 to 3 times the cars Nissan builds, hence the sales

The inventory commericals were also in horrible taste and made me lose respect for them.

Lexus still has less than 250 the last time I checked, not even near twice as many and not that big of a difference. I think both MB and BMW each have > 300 dealerships nationwide ......

Stop twisting facts and trying to crap on Lexus. You are not talking about the ads, you are once again talking about how sorry Lexus is when Infiniti is the brand struggling even more. In their desperation, they attack Lexus again.

Last time I was on a infiniti lot it was almost as if they wanted to give the cars away with deep discounts, I guess in that case, like the big 3 for a while, they would outsell lexus.....

I can safely say Infiniti has never been on my radar. I can't find a reason to like Infiniti. Their V6 gets poor gas mileage, the exhaust drone is annoying, the ride doesn't feel compliant, and I'm not impressed with their paint quality. They're just not exciting.

Although, I agree that Lexus should just probably ignore such ads. However, if Infiniti will continue to produce ads like that, then I think Lexus should response. I mean, most of us here know the difference between these two brands. We know what LFA and ISF can do, but there are people out there that are still calling Lexus the Japanese Buick. Even though, for the past couple of years Lexus worked hard to erase that resemblance.

i recently saw new M and it was nothing special... i expected much better street presence from the pics. barely looked as premium car, let alone very expensive one (here in europe it is $100k for M35d)
