From a more practical (but still negative) standpoint, when I carry rear-seat passengers (which is seldom) I have some concern for their safety from rear-end collisions, since there's not much behind them, and no rear-deck equvalent to the side/front air bags. But the Infinity doesn't even have as much rear crumple room as the MINI. Anyone in the rear 2 seats would be pure toast in a rear-ender.

Looks like a big piece of a$$, as does the new '06 Charger when I clicked the link to it on that site. No real surprise though. Think Dodge needs an overhaul of their engineering crew. But those are just my thoughts. Carry on. As you were.
Cheers,
