and yet it comes with the territory on a luxury brand. after all, the 3 series is not truly twice the car of say, a honda accord EX - though the price tag begs to differ. with cars it seems the more you spend the less you get dollar for dollar. much like the law of diminishing returns.

As far as the options being available yes it's good, but ultimately unless they sell like hotcakes all that cost is passed back to the consumer, it's not easy to run so many different options.

but they are options... i am sure that most of us on here would opt out of the $5,000 19" bmw wheels - and instead take that cash to HRE for a nice set of 3 piece rollers... my whole point is that, ceteris peribus, the 335i would win the customer over with the options. if i am buying a brand new lux car, i want it to be mine... something unique that i put together myseldf

Keep in mind that consolidation of lines, parts, and options is how Carlos Ghosn helped Nissan become profitable again.

agreed, and it has been a good strategy thus far. most especially for Nissan. but i do think that infiniti will have to deviate a bit from that plan if they are going to compete at all with the germs.
