Information on Infinity Cars
Infiniti was introduced in the United States by Nissan Motor Corporation in 1989. Under Ghosn's "Nissan Revival Plan" (NRP), Nissan has
rebounded in what many leading economists consider to be one of the most spectacular corporate turnarounds in history,
catapulting Nissan to record profits and a dramatic revitalization of
both its Nissan and Infiniti model line-ups. Nissan is also noted for being one of the world's leading manufacturers of
automobile engines, with its VG and VQ V6 engines appearing on "Ward's 10 Best Engines" for 12 straight years - every year
since the award's inception.
Infinity was introduced to rival Toyota and Honda's introduction of their own luxury
brands, Lexus and Acura, respectively. A series of Zen-inspired advertisements, which became known as the "rocks and trees"
campaign, aimed to bring about brand awareness. Today, Infiniti's sales and reputation continue to increase impressively as
Carlos Ghosn follows through on his vision to break Infiniti away from its Nissan roots. The G35 series helped re-define
Infiniti as the "Japanese BMW", an image it continues to cultivate. This reputation has been enhanced by the FX35/FX45 SUV,
and the redesigned M35/M45 for the 2006 model year. The M35/M45 has already garnered impressive acclaim from the automotive
press, winning an eight-car comparison test in Car and Driver, and has proven very popular in its first few months of
sales.
A compact sports sedan far exceeding the capabilities of its Nissan
Primera-based predecessor (the G20), the Nissan Skyline-based G35 became an instant hit. The release of the sport tuned
FX45 sport utility vehicle piggybacked on the G35's success. The FX45 combined sports-car handling and performance with
station wagon-like versatility and all-weather capability.
