I am a Philosopher and have the Infiniti M35 Sport and my wife (Economist) has the Infiniti FX35.
We love the design, the power and the reviews. We were all for BMW’s and Mercedes, but after reading reviews of the 5 series and the ML, we decided to go to Infiniti. We couldn’t be happier.
I have to say none of my friendsat Berkeley are impressed with my car though. They ask the mileage, I say 15mpg (the lowest I can get away with), and no more questions are asked, I wonder why. They probably think I’m so obtuse I won’t care anyway. Maybe because I’m a foreigner.
I know I used to pay $8,00 a gallon in my home country, where very few dare to buy a car with an engine bigger than 1.3/1.6 liter unless absolutely necessary (looking for better gas mileage), so I couldn’t care less about gas mileage now. 5 dollars a gallon? Bring it on! It just means I’ll buy a more powerful car, cheaper (from my scared american friends).
The only thing I regret about the oil price increased in the consequences for the poorest countries. I wonder how Africans transport their products and supplies with the oil at $100.00+ a barrel.
Other than that, life in the US is good. Couldn’t be better. Thanks USA! Can’t wait to become a citizen in this wonderful country.
