Haven't seen any infinities over here yet but I did get a run in a G37 when I was in Canada a couple of years ago, sounded awesome and went like sh*te off a shovel :D
There was an Infiniti running round the Fourwinds in South Belfast.
The coupe whatever its called.
The front looks like an old Lexus, but the back end is tidy, almost 508ish.

I've also seen a Kia Optima. Looks good, almost what Pug should be making,

Reminds me of old car adverts that used to list 5 speed gearbox, AM radio and adjustable steering wheel as features.
Or one of those used car websites that does a lookup on features from your registration.

Has a hint of Saab about the rear lights.

Still, isn't 18k a lot of money for a smallish saloon?

And Saltmarines logo/car sticker still annoys me.

my dentist also has a bmw and a load of bmw magazines on the waiting room desk, they must be attracted to them for some reason.
an 8 series was a proper bmw but they havent made one since the 90s the 635d is their main gt coupe.
