WOW, a lot of red ink here at Infiniti.  Only the QX50/80 are up by double digits.  Why make cars (and the QX30) when it seems nobody wants to buy them?

Problem with this brand is Nissan is pretty much a discount/fleet kind of brand, so how do you make a luxury brand out of those products?  And some of this stuff like the Q70 is older than dirt.
