This is for a school project of mine (I chose to do it on Infiniti, and why their sales are the lowest), so I figured I'd ask the very people who bought the cars of their archrival. Do you think Infiniti's cars have any major strengths? Flaws? Please answer ALL of the specific questions:<br><br>1. Between the USA, Japan, and Germany, which country makes the best luxury cars?<br>2. Between performance (i.e. power, handling), comfort (i.e. silence, ride smoothness), styling, prestige, reliability, and price, which do you look for most in a luxury car? Mention up to two qualities.<br>3. For each of the above categories, which of the luxury brands is king? Try to pick among Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, and Cadillac, and mention TWO (at most) brands.<br><br>You can go off topic if you'd like (any input is constructive) but please try to at least answer the survey, since I'm tabulating each answer. This is largely for my own curiosity, and I'm looking to see how your answers contrast with those of Infiniti owners. I can read your gender and age from your little name tags (if unlisted, please mention them), but if you wouldn't mind, state your highest completed education level (HS, college, masters, doctorate).<br>Thanks to anyone who replies.

Why Infiniti? It hasn't establish itself in the marketplace where other luxury carmakers stake their ground. BMW has the best performance. Lexus is most quietest, great customer service, better priced. Mercedes, the best overall, if you have no budget concerns.<br>Infiniti is just a good car competing against Acura, and Cadillac.<br><br>1. Between the USA, Japan, and Germany, which country makes the best luxury cars?<br>Germany because of Mercedes, but Lexus isn't too far behind, not so luster styling. <br><br>2. Between performance (i.e. power, handling), comfort (i.e. silence, ride smoothness), styling, prestige, reliability, and price, which do you look for most in a luxury car? Mention up to two qualities.<br>For luxury car, have to go with silence and smooth ride, then reliability & customer service. Hats off to Lexus. <br><br>3. For each of the above categories, which of the luxury brands is king? Try to pick among Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, and Cadillac, and mention TWO (at most) brands.<br><br>I'd say Mercedes for being the leader, then Lexus for being a good imitator. I think Jaguar has lost ground. BMW for better performance. Cadillac for all-American. I almost got an Audi, very much improved. Infiniti lacks just about everything, has no real competitive advantage.<br><br>I can read your gender and age from your little name tags (if unlisted, please mention them), but if you wouldn't mind, state your highest completed education level (HS, college, masters, doctorate).<br>Male, 36, college

Great... which do you think has best styling and most prestige? It's strange how so many owners of Japanese luxury cars still vote German most of the time.

I can't help but feel that the fact that Audi was allowed to option up the A4 probably altered the outcome of this. If any of the others cars had optioned up to the same level, would the Audi have won? The Merc was counted down on Vinyl seats - agreed, that is nasty, but if it had come with leather or an uprated interior it may have toppled the A4
