...find it curious that your reporter relied heavily on criticisms by two people who aren't even registered Democrats.

...novel gimmick: the autos are nowhere in sight. Now, as it turns out, neither are buyers. The Infiniti ads, applauded for their Zen approach, depict lushly photographed trees, boulders, lightning bolts and breaking waves. At first that created suspense about the $23,500 coupe and $38,000 sedan. Curious car shoppers descended on Infiniti dealerships just to catch a glimpse of the mystery mobiles.
