New Q45...How about importing the "President"?

[DuDro]

Would the "President" be able to compete against the other flagships?

What makes us think that the average auto buyer is gonna like the president more than the F50. I bet you they'd think it's the same car and that it's some marketing ploy from Infiniti to boost Q45 sales.

Looks like a tarted up Mercury with some weird headlights.

What exactly DOES differentiate the President from the F50 Cima?

It appears for all the world to be the same chassis with a different front end on it. Do they both have VK45's in them?

If Nissan/Infiniti wanted more sales for the F50 Q45, all they had to do was make it look like this:

Here's a different angle:

I think Buick beat them to it with the Park Avenue, and we know how well that went over. Over 65 years old, that is.

The Artisan Spirits kit is one of the nicest ones available for the F50!

I guess I should have been more detailed on my suggestion. I would also suggest that Infiniti / Nissan update the appearence of the President if it were to be considered to be the next Q45.

I was impressed with all the extra features that the President has that would make it a good candidate.

Perhaps "massaging" the engine with something like the IMPUL kit to obtain close to 400 HP....Hmmmmm....

I don't think the "snowplow" look would sell in America either in any numbers. The irate owners who did $5K of body damage on the first speed bump or driveway would kill that look in short order.

Impul 5.1 stroker kit (more torque, less rpm) if only a little more than $30K once you deliver the VK45DE to their door. Of course you have to pick it up and reinstall it also.
