Only one I've ever seen, and my dad has only seen 1 other, and that was when he was on vacation in Florida. I wish I coulda kept it, but just bought my 2nd car, brand new, this past October, and living in an apartment with very limited parking, it was either leave it exposed to the elements and neighbor children, in front of my garage, and block my new car, or leave my brand new car exposed. And the kids here will bounce balls off cars, climb over them to play tag, or in one case that happened to a neighbor, watched a kid ride a bicycle into her car with her, and the kid's parents watching, the parents didn't even acknowledge it.

    I know it's "just a Nissan Leopard." But this is one of my all-time favorite Infiniti cars. It's a 1980s rear drive executive coupe that somehow made it here because convertibles were still popular, like the LeBaron. This was so much better than the Cutlass Supreme and LeBaron.

    Loving the shade that John throws with the "near luxury" comment and comparison to the Celica & Shadow--like anyone was cross-shopping those cars! The comparison to the Cutlass was spot-on.Except for the snazzy paint job, mid 1980s Maserati-esque seats (but not the rest of the interior), and the dealer experience (compared to Nissan), this isn't a luxury vehicle.That said, I thought these were very pretty when they came out.

    I have never seen one of these in the wild, and I'm certainly old enough to have seen them when they were new.
    BTW, anyone notice the ridiculous levels of tail sag this car did in the videos even after mild acceleration? You can see it after the break tests, the rear end nearly squats down to the bump stops.

  • @palebeachbum
    @palebeachbum 4 года назад +2

    The styling is pretty bland and very late 80's Japanese. The interior screams 80's as well, but a lot of cars in the early 90's still had boxy interiors that carried over from the 80's. The dated design for the time doesn't bother me nearly as much as that it doesn't look terribly luxurious for a luxury brand. A Nissan badge would have seemed more appropriate.

    • @ragingbull94mtx
      @ragingbull94mtx 4 года назад

      It was a rebadged Nissan Leopard. I'm curious though, as to why they didn't offer any of the DOHC versions of the VG-series engines as was available on the JDM Leopard at the time. They even had a 255-horsepower turbocharged version available. Instead, we get the SOHC, naturally-aspirated engine. Makes no sense.

    No thanks. I'll take the Geo metro he mentioned for 1/3 of the price.

Probably has something to do with the sheer sales volume of the vehicles though
