The car in the above picture is the Infiniti M37... except it’s not.

It’s actually known as the Mitsubishi Dignity in Japan, sold only with RWD and Nissan’s hybrid drivetrain.

It’s also sold as the Nissan Cima.

Well it’s not like they actually bothered to design a new car:

The first-gen Dignity might be more to your liking:

So you’re saying that Mitsubishi in the USA has a lack of Dignity?

Actually, I think the K900 and lexus GS are better looking than the current Infinitis.

Yes, because they shamelessly tries to sell this as a valid alternative to a car:

(it’s not)

Agreed.

If it was my money, I’d go with a K900 before a lot of similarly-priced sedans. Really loved that thing:

It’s main problem is its painfully slow. Needs a turbo version.

Oh no, more power is the last thing you want on this sorry excuse for an automobile.

it has suspension designed for a lawn tractor, a clutch with a friction point that’s more vague than an artist’s contract, no soundproofing, the flimsiest gearbox known to mankind, tires that would normally be found under a shopping cart and cheap plastic everywhere.

Going faster than 60 mph in this thing is basically suicide; adding more power would simply quicken your death.
