Things Are So Bad At Infiniti, Stores Can Now Be Paired With Nissan Dealerships
Infiniti is in such bad shape it’s now available for store pairing

Infiniti dealers are struggling to make a profit, so some are teaming up with Nissan dealers December 4, 2024 19:45 Infiniti's sharp decline in sales has put dealers in a difficult position, as some are no longer profitable. To avoid a possible exodus, some retailers were allowed to partner with Nissan dealers. Despite the partnership, co-branded dealers still need to deliver an Infiniti-worthy experience. Infiniti is in trouble due to oversights, missteps and broken promises. This left the brand with an aging and largely bland product lineup that consumers shunned. The numbers illustrate Infiniti's U.S. sales, which have plummeted nearly 45% over the past decade. The company sold 116,455 cars in 2013, but last year that number dropped to 64,699. That's a huge drop, one that the redesigned QX80 can never offset.

How Audi's wind tunnel experts helped shape
How Audi’s wind tunnel experts helped shape

Car manufacturers such as Audi have been working for years to reduce the aerodynamic drag of their cars. For Audi, these efforts have resulted in an excellent range estimate for the new A6 e-tron. Some of these breakthroughs include landing gear stall technology that reduces turbulence. Fighting wind resistance is something car manufacturers do every day. It's a fight that goes back decades. In a new film in partnership with Top Gear, Audi shows what it did years ago and how that technology made its way into the new A6. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); It’s worth noting that the new A6 e-tron has an impressive drag coefficient of just 0.24.
