Default Why M37/M50 are not selling well

Any clue? I think they look pretty cool. Not my cup of tea but still. I think that could have been a great design for a Jag, or Oldsmobile, but an Infiniti can not be that curvy, I think. M50 is a complete beast too.
Is it the quality, design or price thats stalling their sales? In comparison, G37 is selling well, they are everywhere. I am sure great lease deals are a contributor.

Ive driven my friends new G37 S X sedan and was not impressed at all. Interior is a joke, very cheap feeling, things like buttons and overall feel. And that motor is not the smoothest, harsh even. It is pretty fast I must say and with 7speed tranny I think he would walk from my 430.

I think it looks odd from some angles but attractive from others. I wouldn't want a car where I only like its looks sometimes. Other than its looks I like it. Nice interior, comfy, fast....its a nice car imo.

I'm going to take a different route why the market for mid size luxury sports sedans are not selling.

I think the government (via society) has made people feel guilty for being able to afford such cars. Hence you'll see more near luxury cars on the road (Infinity G37, Lexus ES350) that also get netter mpg.

I'm just saying this is one of a few reasons why cars in the $50-70K range aren't selling.

the new generation is ugly the old one I really like I almost pulled the trigger and got a 08 M35S at the dealership last year white on black, but unfortunately the sales lady there treated me any my sister badly and would not even try to negotiate the price at all ended up walking away from it now I have my GS350 and I am loving it

because they're heavy, thirsty Nissans that's why. the M sedans had their chances before the 4GS, now they have no shot. motor trend's latest mid-size luxury sedan comparo goes like this:

Lexus GS350 F-Sport
BMW 535i M-Sport
Audi A6 3.0T
MB E350
Infinity M37
