Rivals were selected based on the market conditions and buying preferences, which gave an unexpected junction of the plot
SUMMARY We assumed that the main battle will unfold between two Japanese heavyweight Toyota and Infiniti. And the bets did on the latter. Infiniti Luxury brand, which is needed to compare, to be fully objective, with representative Lexus LX570, and not by harding Toyota Land Cruiser 200. Who is asking for Nissan Armada, not supplied to our country. And therefore, the rivals were selected on the basis of market conditions and purchasing preferences, which gave an unexpected junction of the plot.
Toyota Land Cruiser has always been considered almost an ideal SUV. In almost all disciplines, with the exception of manageability, the cruiser performs on perfectly, and it is in this balancedness that the key to its stable popularity is. Two hundredth promises to be very reliable and unpretentious in operation, and, importantly, expensive during resale, because in the secondary market, the demand for Land Cruiser is consistently high. This is an excellent SUV for a convinced pragmatics, appreciating comfort and reliability above all. But the soul and memorable character here are not even looking for.
The case of Cadillac Escalade. Who would have thought that this Yankee would dry up infiniti! Escalade and beautiful, and harmonious, and status. A good balance of style and driving qualities with colorful character and predatory nestove. However, there are problems with passability. The car lacks the versatility, which has competitors to travel for hunting or the long-distance dacha, the owner will need another, more off-road car. In addition, on reliability and liquidity, with resale, Escalade will obviously give way to both Japanese. But in this Trinity he is the most expensive. Cadillac car for the soul, very lively and emotional, besides with a historical loop of the name. An unexpected infiniti QX56 came to Opali in Outsiders, mostly thanks to Russian roads. It is a pity that this expressive and dynamic car did not create a truly balanced suspension. Yes, and over the rigidity of the body was worth working. The Russian consumer complains this brand with love and respect, and the durability of the car promises to be traditionally high. Against the background of the opponents of QX56 spoke pale, but, an amazing thing, I liked much more than the insensitive Toyota or two-eye Cadillac. Infiniti has a comfortable and large interior, perfectly works by a tandem of a power unit and a machine gun, and in our state of Ughab, the alignment of the forces could be completely different.
