Downtown Infiniti review
Friday, June 11th, 2010 | General, Nissan | No Comments
Stories about auto dealerships and their dirty tricks and customers’ bad experiences are not hard to find. I have seen and heard just about all of them and I have been to many of the dealerships in the Greater Toronto Area over the years. However, recently I visited one of the flagship dealerships of a luxury brand and went through one of the worst sales service experiences that even surprised me. The one positive about it though is that it makes for a good true story.
Less than one week ago I went with a friend to Downtown Infiniti, one of the largest Infiniti dealerships in Toronto and possibly in Canada. Located right off the DVP on Eastern Ave. (for those familiar with the city of Toronto), it is the Infiniti dealership that is beside and competes with the flagship dealerships for BMW, Audi, Mercedes and other luxury auto makers. For that reason alone, one expects the Downtown Infiniti dealership to have the utmost integrity possible in the market. However, the reality was the polar opposite of that.

Honda Legend Facelift

The European model does have a bigger front grill as well as revised lights, bonnet, front fenders, boot lid, bumpers and standard 18″ wheels. Under the hood, the 3.5L V6 is replaced with a new 3.7L plus new exhaust side VTEC, putting out an even 300hp - 220kW which translates to a 20% increase in mid-range torque and a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds. › Continue reading

Ok, I know this has nothing to do with cars or drifting or anything else, but we all use the Internet (otherwise why are you reading this?) and this is sort of a big deal.
On September 2, Google announced the release of it’s Open Source, platform independent (beta version only available for Windows XP-Vista for now) web browser Google Chrome. I know what you’re thinking - It’s not enough all the kidlets are back to school and rush hour traffic doubled, now I have to learn to use a new browser?!?
Short answer: Yes. But, it’s well worth the 4 minutes it will take you to adjust to the top tabs and the extra real estate that’s open on the screen by eliminating the menus and task bar.
I’ve only been using it for a day, and I have to say it’s pretty slick. Pages load noticably faster thanks to › Continue reading
