Infiniti Is Getting Absolutely Creamed (Updated)

I don't know why, but it bothers the OCD in me when my wife changes just the temperature on her side. The temperatures are out-of-sync and I don't know there is any real benefit. I feel like it's like having the non-smoking section right next to the smoking section. If she lowers the temp and I start to get cold, then I would bump up the heat, and then she might bump up the A/C, and back-and-forth we go for eternity. And then when it's just me, I have to go back and put them in sync.
When I get into people's cars and they have auto and are using it manually it infuriates me inside as they constantly fidget with the controls.
The Infiniti Q70 won’t be returning for the 2020 model year, effectively killing Infiniti’s large luxury sedan.
Infiniti Q70 to exit after 2019 model year - Autoblog
The 2019 Infiniti Q70 has lost sales consistently over the last few years, and Infiniti is officially canning it. In the meantime, crossover sales continue to increase.www.autoblog.com
The Q70 had such a small market share and consumer base that I doubt that moves the needle much. It'll probably be financially a lot better for Infiniti though.
Update:

Poor Infiniti decidedly did not have a stellar year last year. Abysmal sales figures reports from October led us to declare the automaker was getting creamed. And after viewing its recently published, overall 2019 sales figures, we can unilaterally conclude that, yes, Infiniti got creamed.
Last year, Infiniti only managed to sell 117,708 cars, down from 149,280 in 2018, according to a company press release that also highlights the brand’s December 2019 sales. Bravely, as though grasping desperately for a silver lining, it reports, “... the QX80 full-size luxury sport utility vehicle [had] its best month ever, with deliveries of 2,580, a 9 percent increase.”
True, the luxury SUV segment saw very strong sales during the last few months of 2019, so no doubt Infiniti was riding that wave. But if we zoom out just a bit and examine the bigger picture, things become very bleak, very fast. Every single one of Infiniti’s cars sold worse in 2019 than in 2018.
Every. Single. One.
Look at all those minus signs! Negative percent changes in sales of the Q50, Q60, Q70, QX30, QX50, QX60, and QX80—coincidentally, also cars I cannot for the life of me accurately bring to mind, no matter how hard I try. I shudder to think of what would happen to me if I brought this report card home to my mother. She’d go straight for the drawer with the mahjong ruler.
A few things undoubtedly contributed to this. First, there’s Infiniti’s seeming inability to put up, like, ever. Second, former chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance Carlos Ghosn’s 2018 arrest probably didn’t do Infiniti any favors. Then, after bad sales and Brexit uncertainties, Infiniti bounced from western Europe altogether.
Maybe 2020 will see Infiniti’s big comeback tour, the one where the brand will embark on its journey to go all-electric or hybrid by 2021. Or maybe Nissan will decide to pull a 2013 and cancel Infiniti for good. The numbers are certainly there to support this path.

In other news: Nissan's former CEO/savior is now a fugitive
Ex-Nissan Chair Ghosn Jumps Bail, Flees Japan
Security camera footage reportedly showing he simply walked out of his Tokyo home hours before fleeing the country.
The only thing Infiniti has going for them is the VR engine. The entire lineup is dated and lacks excitement
Johan De Nysschen ruined the company in my opinion (2012-2014) and subsequently went on to Cadillac which is also struggling. The lineup was pretty solid until his arrival competing well against the Germans. I love my G37 and it was the Japenese BMW (3 series) for the time, but I wouldn't touch the new Q50.

I thought I read the Renault take over was already approved for Nissan?
