I'm not a fan of the new one at all either. It has too many creases on the front, and it just sort of looks ordinary. I also don't really like the headlight design on the new model.
Much prefer the older style, especially with the RS grille on it (which this car has now, old pic)

I finally took the plunge and just factory ordered a 2020 540i xDrive Sedan w/ M Sport Package.
My G37x is now 11 years old and in great shape. It only has 91k miles. So hopefully I'm able to sell high which I can put towards the downpayment.
I thought about driving it until the wheels fell off but it, unfortunately, developed a crack in the head gasket. Luckily I was able to seal it from the inside out with a bottle of K-Seal.
So I feel pretty lucky that I'm able to walk away on my terms.
It's been a good run. Unfortunately, I barely considered Infiniti this time around. Their models have grown stale and have nothing innovative. All I see around me are Crossovers and the new design circa 2014. Blah, bland.
That's a shame because when I bought my 2009 G37x it was new and stood out all on its own. The legend only grew with each and every mod. It was damn fun. This time around I got the 540ix fully loaded so I won't be modding any longer. I guess it's curtains.
I wish them continued success in the future but I think Nissan\Infiniti will face some tough decisions over the years ahead.
Goog luck peeps!

But.....IDK that "selling high" and cracked head gaskets fixed with stop leak really go together.

Oh yea, because Infiniti just screams 'prestige' compared to them...
The 3.3 in the Hyundai and Kia is a beast and isn't snapping belts like dental floss; unlike the 3.0 in another brand's lineup.
I would try not to be so judgmental just because of the badge...Both Hyundai and Kia are killing it with their current lineup and have very competitive options compared to most of the 'established' brands in their segment.

Nissan/Infiniti has nothing in their portfolio that is worth looking into, I don't blame anyone looking else where however I would not consider a Hyundai/Kia.

Everything is relative, Rob. One man's lipstick is another man's racing stripes.
You really, really don't like Korean cars. Got it. Now say something on topic.

I'd rather drive an old French car than to be seen in a Korean car. Peugeot or Renault maybe. The Koreans will never be on par with the Japanese, even when they try stealing J-Pop and renaming it as K-Pop.
edit: Only thing I like about that Hyundai is the driver orientation. You don't get that anymore. But that is it.

I need to drive a Veloster Turbo to see what the fus is about. Not something I would consider at this point of my life but it would be nostalgic to drive a modern FWD sport compact again.
