Annoying Infiniti commercials

It's annoying to see the Infiniti commercials where they are always portraying the bimmer driver to be some d-bag. Especially since we have CNBC on all day and those commercials run over and over again.

Okay, I feel better now after venting, thanks.

Lol I think they're funny. The 3-series still looks 100 times better than the G so I'm not sure what their commercial is trying to prove. If it were my commercial I'd be pitting the g37 against the 328i in a drag race and after the G blew the doors off of the 3 it would say "some ultimate driving machine". I like the G but would take a 3 series in any form any day.

I'd say for the record those infernal Lexus holiday commercials are far worse. At least the Infiniti ones are funny!!

Hahaha I love those commercials. Used to be an Infiniti driver so maybe I'm biased, but I still think they're funny (especially the one where all of the kids gang up together and throw all of those snowballs at the Bimmer driver). Hahaha!

What's true? That Infiniti > BMW?
My wife drives a G35, nice car but it's no 335.

I thought I liked the G series cars but when I got into car buying mode I didn't even think of them. I was looking at a 2003 SL55 AMG with like 19k and a 2004 E55 AMG with under 30k. I shied away from them from concerns about repairs on out of warranty expensive to maintain cars. Then I started looking at BMWs and I decided a 3 series was it. Never even thought about the G.

Why you would drop the name of a competitor boggles me.Promote their Infiniti and tell the public how great a car it is without mentioning another brand....But they all do it except BMW, Jealous Bastards!!

seriously, who cares.

If the car was better, and sold better, they wouldn't need to slam BMW. They'd be selling cars. Instead, they slander. Its high school, the coolest chicks were always labelled the sluts or bitches.

Everyone can think I'm a douchebag and maybe I am. But screw them, why let what other people think decide YOUR life. I have an awesome car, I love my car, I could care less about infiniti, or audi, etc.

Make a good car (the S4 is a great example,but just wasn't quite up to the deal I got on my new 335x Spec Ed) instead of ads.

Whats funny about that one is the fact the infinite left the driveway first and the BWM beat it to the parking spots, so I can only assume that Infinite in slower than a BMW.

When I first saw that one, I said to the my son, wonder if they realize they made the BMW look faster especially in the snow.

I like the new Benz commercial where santa is walking through his stable and all the old red cars (I guess previous sleds) are around and then he gets in a new SLS and uses that to guide the rest of the mercedes line up in silver (the reindeer). Much more creative than the others.

That's the difference between BMW and Mercedes and the rest- they compare themselves to themselves, while others can only take jabs in frustration. Audi is just as bad.

We all should take it as a compliment. The 3 series is still the best in its class, and that's why everybody's gunning for it.
