Infiniti (Nissans upmarket brand) will be opening its doors on the 11th September, their first UK showroom will be based at Reading with more showrooms opening up in 2010.

What you do think? Will the Infiniti brand be sucessful or will people think "That's a Nissan with a different badge". In some peoples eyes this statement holds true for Lexus- "You have a posh Toyota, mate", even though Lexus has been around for 20 years now.

Personally, I think Infiniti will do well, shame they got their timing wrong (we are still in a recession no matter what the media says).

personally i like the G37 coupe only problem is the engine isn't particularly powerfull, Smokey Nagata from Top Secret has a G37 with a G45 Twin-turbo v8 engine dropped in it developing around 700bhp Big Grin
