Awsome review as always, I really enjoyed this one because that car cought my eye right away when I saw a commercial about it. I noticed you said it has Scratch-Shield paint.. what exactly is that and how would someone go about doing paint work on it? This car sounds like it had very few flaws all in all!

From what I've read the scratch-shield paint is some sort of special clear coat type layer that diminishes the look of the light surface scratches and swirl marks.

So does SCRATCH-OUT:

You can get it at WalMart for a very low price. It's excellent stuff. I use it myself......and give it to others as new-car gifts.

how would someone go about doing paint work on it?
As far as how to repaint the original Scratch-Shield layer, I'm not sure...you would have to ask a body shop. An Infiniti body shop, obviously, would be best.

This car sounds like it had very few flaws all in all!
Yep, not many.......unless you try and stuff NBA guys or sumo wrestlers into the rear seat or a refrigerator in the cargo area.

Thanks , but don't give me the credit. Thank Infiniti, not me, for designing and producing a nice product,.........I am only the messenger.

Awsome, can't wait! I wasn't even aware that they will be releasing these in the US.

Infiniti really is pushing this car in print and television. I see ads all over the place.

Not surprising. Infiniti probably wants to get something back for the time, resources, and money they put into its development. They certainly didn't scrounge on material quality.
