With this change, they'll just become Acura.
Couldn't help but LOL when I read that, but completely agree. They're already on their way there. Seems the most recent Q50 and Q60 (especially Red Sport trims) were a false glimmer of hope for the brand from a performance POV. From a luxury POV, they're already glorified Nissans & I say this despite the RWD platform and having just owned a fully optioned Q50S. Seriously though, compare a top-spec Q50RS and a top-spec Maxima... the Maxima has a nicer interior and more features that aren't even available in the Infiniti. Bummer because Infinitis were very recently cool & sporty cars and had their own form of prestige to the brand. Not so much anymore.
