The "M" in my mind is in the middle of nowhere, it's not seen as sporty as a BMW and also not as luxurious as a Lexus, so it's the "middle party" that gets crushed by the Democrats and Republicans every year.

I guess that's what happens when you join the luxury party last and advertize your vehicles with pictures of forests and landscape. Infiniti... what the heck do they sell?
You are right about my switch to quiet and comfort, but when taking into account price -- if I was after a sporty new car with an upscale interior and all the bells and whistles that the base model M has for under $40k I would take the M. By the way I am over 60 and Social Security is only 2 months away. So comfort rules my life for as long as I can get it.
