Infiniti

In recent times, 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 also named the best luxury sedan in Consumer Reports. The M45 model featured the same engine as the flagship Q45, and its success prompted Infiniti to remove the Q45 from its lineup for the first time ever in 2007, at which time the M45 became the flagship model.


For the 2007 model year a redesigned version of the G35 sedan was introduced, to be followed in 2008 by a new version of the company's G coupe which will be called the G37. The coupe was first unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. Also to be released in 2008 is the new Infiniti EX35 compact crossover, which will be Infiniti's entrance into the compact luxury crossover market. The EX will share the G35's 3.5 liter, 306 hp (228 kW), V6 engine. Competitors will be the BMX X3, Land Rover LR2, and Acura RDX.
