Infiniti EX35: One Thing I Don't Like


Following around one of the first EX35s that I've seen out in the wild (yes, my wife has to put up with me stalking new cars) I noticed something rather disturbing: the location of the rear turn signal. The EX sports its amber signal on the bumper, not in the brake light cluster. I really hate it when manufacturers do this. Firstly, you're staring at the brake lights, maybe even mesmerized by the LEDs. When you are following a vehicle you are expecting to see the turn signal in the same area as the tail light/brake light--the bumper turn signal is very easy to miss. As an added "bonus" a minor bumper bash can result in broken lenses.
