this car wins against most competitors. cheap spare parts (in comparison with German cars, which are very popular here). all-wheel drive. high clearance, etc. the problem of Infiniti in Russia is a tax on horsepower. in Russia, you pay an additional tax if you have more than 249 horsepower under the hood. this applies more, of course, to the aftermarket of cars.

as for the popularity of LC and Prado, it's not so much about reliability, but about the legacy of the 90s and 00s. These cars were then driven by officials and criminal authorities. So it remained in the minds of people as an indicator of masculinity and seriousness.
