Overview & Reviews

Infiniti is an upscale automaker from Japan. Though most of its products are related to those sold by parent company Nissan, Infiniti looks to achieve a premium status by infusing its cars and SUVs with spirited performance and additional luxury content.

The brand was launched for the 1990 model year. Its purpose back then, as it is now, was to create premium vehicles for America that wouldn't have otherwise fit in with Nissan's more mainstream image. This was the same tactic Honda used for the creation of Acura, and Toyota for Lexus. In its first full year, Infiniti started out with two vehicles, the Q45 sedan and the M30 coupe and convertible. The compact, entry-level G20 was introduced soon after.

As the 1990s moved along, Infiniti slowly added more vehicles to its lineup. The Q45 luxury sport sedan found its market. The car's 278-horsepower V8 was class-leading in its day. On top of that, the Q45 offered cutting-edge technology such as an active suspension system. By the late '90s Infiniti had rolled out the QX4, an SUV based on the Pathfinder. The sport-ute's truck platform gave it a leg up in off-road performance relative to competing car-based SUVs.

Although Infiniti's sales grew steadily, the marque still fell short of both Lexus and Acura in terms of popularity. The early 2000s saw Infiniti making a determined effort to sharpen its focus and upgrade its products. But it was the introduction of the entry-level, midsize G35 in 2003 that finally gave Infiniti the boost and identity direction it sorely needed. Based on the same platform underpinning the Nissan 350Z, the G35 coupe and sedan met with immediate sales success. The FX35/FX45 soon followed -- a crossover SUV that provided spirited acceleration and sports-car handling with the utility of a wagon.

Today, Infiniti's lineup has expanded to include the G (now a sedan, coupe and convertible) and FX as well as the midsize M sedan, the EX small crossover SUV, the JX midsize crossover SUV and the QX large SUV. Infiniti has also introduced the M Hybrid sedan, its first hybrid vehicle. No matter the model, shoppers will find Infiniti's latest vehicles to be focused on luxury, sport, quality and value.

  This car drives like a luxury sedan but is as fast as many sports cars. I get more looks and questions about this car than I have any other.

  the g35 experience - 2003 Infiniti G35
  By golfmzee - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I have had the G35 since May. Wow! It has really exceeded my expectations in all areas of performance and handling. I find the styling very exciting. I always looked back at it when I park it. Prefer it to my wifes BMW 3series. Lots of looks and nice remarks from other motorists. One of the most underated cars around. Buy It!

  A Fun Car to Own - 2003 Infiniti G35
  By Susan - September 26 - 10:00 am

  My sedan is a pleasure to ride...handles well and has plenty of pep. The car is surprisingly spacious inside...backseat passengers frequently comment about the comfort. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering an Infiniti.

  Amazing - 2003 Infiniti G35
  By Zummerguy - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Ive gone from a Supra twin turbo to an Acura TL type S and they dont even compare to what my G gives me. This car provides awesome acceleration with a ride that rivals anything Germany puts out. BMW is completely outmatched and overpriced when compared with the G35. The 6speed is crisp and precise while providing performance usually only found on big block engines. Get one!
