That's not really important to me.  For the driving I'd be doing in a big,
plush 4-door, which end has the power matters not one bit.  And again just my
preference, but all I see when I look at Infinity, Lexus and Acura are
US-focused marketing plans from Nissan, Toyota and Honda.  I don't want cars
from any of their original brands, why would I want one that was
target-marketed to US consumers -- the most fickle, trend-chasing mass on the
planet? (OK, a couple of exceptions -- Toyota does have my unwavering
affection for FJ-40 and FJ-55 Land Cruisers, and I have a long-running
fascination with the Nissan Skyline GTR).
