Last Year, Infiniti Indonesia only manages to sell 8 cars. 8. And that makes the Infiniti put massive discount on some of their cars, like the Q50 Hybrid. They used to ask 115k USD for one of those in here, with all option checked. Now they only ask 57k, according to my local Nissan Dealer.

Hmmmmm. It's not like Q50 is a bad car, certainly not when it's priced lower than a Mazda 6 and Toyota Camry...

What do you think?

That's the worst. Nissan could stop selling it altogether and leave me without any support on my fancy and expensive Infiniti. Just like what happens withe the Muran-bros.

Nissan sold 0 Murano last year, and stop selling and supporting it since my dealer said there's less than 5 of those Murano on the street today.

I'd take the Mazda 6 over it anytime.

The Camry...not so much.

Infiniti's pricing is really confusing me, speaking of european prices. They are pricing their cars quite high and, which I think is crucial, do not offer base models. So if I get a BMW 320d for the same money a Q50 2.2d is priced at, I would not continue looking for the Infiniti any longer. I would not care for the standard equipment of the Q50, cause I know it is going to depriciate massively.

You only get a new brand's cars sold for a modest price. And in the midsize segment it has to be modest indeed, for the competition is one of the tightest.

It does. In indonesia 330i is about 80k, and i'm sorry, Q50 supposed to be BMW 3-series fighter isn't it?

Seriously, the car prices in here are high but not Infiniti high.

Yeah. Seriously even Citroen manages to sell 10 C5 last year.

The only normal cars that sold less than Infiniti models in here was the Peugeot 107 and Citroen DS3, both with claimed sales figure of 3.

I saw one of this for sale in here for about 400 bucks, and i immediately bidding it. If the bid stays under 500 bucks this car will be a very nice addition to my little fleet.

Well..

C5s were mainly bought by Citroen Enthusiast, because it's quite cheap (50k USD) and look a bit french-mad.

107s were bought by accident or under influence of alcohol/crack/both, because there's no way in hell a normal people would pay 18k USD for that sort of abomination.

DS3s.. because Citroen decide it should fight with Mini. Maybe people thinks it's way too mad.
