OK - my fourth post on my blog, and the pet peeves start coming out.
I’m really sick of the amount of noise these Infinitis make. These two models (the G35 and FX35 in particular) make a really loud rumble, especially with acceleration. Considering that these cars could make almost no noise with current technology, Infiniti clearly engineered this rumble. But for whom? The owners? For those of us who live on busy streets or who like to walk, these cars are a real nuisance. They may not be as loud as Porsches, but there are a lot more of them out there.
And here’s how I know I’m a real kook: I dug around for other people complaining about the noise of these cars, and I just can’t find anything. Anyone see anything? Anyone agree?
I guess all I can do is to vote with my wallet; I’ll never buy an Infiniti.
OK - now, granted, I was in Orange County for this one (yes, the OC). So maybe I have to recalibrate a bit. And, furthermore, this truck is an out-of-state-mobile - Nevada plates. But it does have that NB sticker on there for Newport Beach; I’m assuming the driver hauls all these tons of energy efficient metal back and forth across the Mojave on a regular basis.
Further, I understand that driving has a smaller carbon footprint that flying. So maybe this guy really is an environmentalist. But, seriously? Environmentalists for Barack on a Cadillac Escalade? Somehow getting 12 miles per gallon gives you a ticket into that club? This road beast makes a Jeep look like a Prius.
WWOD? (that’s what would Obama drive?)
