Eeehh.... CTS also MSRP's for nearly $20K less than the E-Class.

Thanks, 2b2!

All I want is for this model to do better than the last, and for it to mount a serious challenge- especially on the coasts.

I am glad it's beating the Lexus. How does it do against the G35? It would be great to even be in 2nd place.

I would be surprised of they even make up 2000 of the 22,000 with a wagon. That is why the SRX suffered in the first place.

Wouldn't surprise me if a lot SRX buyers won't buy a standard wagon. I know I won't -- when our SRX needs replacing, it'll most likely be another RWD crossover, which unfortunately will not be available from Cadillac.

BTW, Infiniti G sales for Apr 08, Apr 07, % change, YTD 08, YTD 07, and YTD change
G Sedan 3,692 4,491 -24.1 16,952 19,813 -15.3
G Coupe 1,928 1,183 50.4 7,600 4,174 80.3

For now.

And as a good friend of mine recently pointed out, the CTS is the same size as the E class and she's replacing her E with a CTS. She's had enough of teutonic "quality", to say nothing of the attitude of the dealerships.

More expensive does not equate into better, btw. Except to the minds of some. I'm not in that pool, which seems genetically damaged.
