Crazy thing is the way companies play to the American appetite. They create a high class brand name (with the quality of the old products that got the customer loyalty in the first place) and add a new badge to it with some additional bells and whistles and viola out pops a Lexus or an Infiniti.

When I was in Japan it was funny to see almost no Lexus or Infiniti cars on the streets only cars that looked like them (what we call in the US Lexus and Infiniti) with the Toyota and Nissan badging! In Japan they knew how to cater to the American taste for image. Not that this is a bad thing for quality and posh but very good marketing nonetheless!
