Remember when Jalopnik had the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ? It seems that it was a feature done by Zac Estrada and has since stopped in the end of 2013. Well, today I decided to revive it to compare three Japanese luxobarges in our area. I have no intention of buying any since my little Swede wagon comes in on Tuesday, so this is just for posterity’s sake: each one is below $6K, has around 155K miles, and is between 1995-2002.

I have always loved this generation of Q45 and this example looks to be super clean, and I love the plate...

This car was the epitome of Japanese luxury since 1989 when it came out and uprooted the German competition...

So, which reliable land-barge is your pick? (I choose the Q45)

I don’t really like Japanese cars much, but I’d take the Infiniti. But 150k isn’t “low miles.”

Yeah, but it still seems NP to me... :D
