Grading the Detroit Auto Show: Infiniti

DT: One of the biggest shocks for me was the fact that the Kuraza concept wasn't as horrible as I had thought it would be. It was actually innovative in a number of ways. Add the elegant M35 and M45 to the brand and Infiniti continues to steadily improve its line and give people what they want. You can't ask for more than that.
Grade: A-

WK: I can't share the enthusiasm with the Kuraza and maybe some of that might be because I have not seen it in person. The shape is not pleasing to my eye. The M35 and M45 are huge improvements over the current M45, but the taillights are monstrous. The drivetrain saves the car. From the armchair, the grade suffers.
Grade: B-
