Make Overview:

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.

  • Tight - 2007 Infiniti G35

    Was circling the M45 but didnt need all that car (no kids etc) so the BMW 335i was the first car then the G followed - the G is far better value with no sacrifice in performance under 99% of driving - and it brakes and comes off the line far better

  • Smokin hot car - 2005 Infiniti G35

    Ever looking for a car that you dont see at every stop light? Well that would be the G-35x! Its a looker when you do see one! Ive gotten alot of comments on my new G, besides constantly reminding myself what a great purchase I made! The G is a little slighted on gas mileage, but you have a 3.5 under the hood that stands at attention waiting for you to step on the gas! Very powerful car, not real comfy inside, but appointed nicely for the driver and the locations of the controls. Its absolutely the best car Ive owned! And Im always excited to hop in and drive! Never a dull moment!

  • My first full size SUV - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    This is my first full size SUV and it is a great vehicle. It handles quite well, just like a full size car. The interior is amazing, probably the best in its class. The exterior is so good looking. The fuel economy is better than I first thought. It is about 18MPG. I really love this SUV. I feel like a king of the road while driving this vehicle.

  • Ive parked my Jag - 2003 Infiniti QX4

    I bought this car for my wife. However, Ive been doing most of the driving. Its so fun to drive and a real head-turner. We drive to the mountains many weekends and it really tames the roads. LOVE IT!

  • Infinity 2016 QX80 depreciation - 2016 Infiniti QX80
    By -

    Car is great overall however the Infinity QX80 does not hold its value and expect To take a huge loss if you plan on selling youre used QX80. I bought mine a little over 1-year ago with a sticker price of 81K and now 1-year later its valued at 48K, a 30K + drop in 1-year. I will never buy a Infinity again

  • Great Sports sedan! - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The 2005 Infinity G35x embodies what a luxury sports sedan should be--a sports car in a luxury sedan package! The 4WD handles nimbly with terrific acceleration, with the car going exactly where you want it to go. Steering and braking are sure and precise. Its a blast to drive! But the sports performance does not compromise the 4 door luxury comfort. Head and leg room are better than other cars in this class, and cargo room is much better than others. With the Premium package, the full complement of luxury features is at your finger tips, from keyless entry and starting, to heated seats, dual thermostat, to reclining rear seats. And, all this value for a price that cant be beat.

  • Black Blur - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Love this car!!! I havent had this much fun driving in many, many years, if ever. So glad I passed on the BMWs and Mercedes. They were fine in the test drives, but this car beats them so easily that its not even close. The styling is so beautiful that I still break into a big smile every time I walk out into the garage.

  • Mid Life Crisis Car - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have owned SUVs for the last 18 years, and cant really say why I all of a sudden wanted to make a change to a smaller more sporty car except that it sounded like fun. I used to own a Datsun 280ZX before my daughter was born that I loved. I thought the Infiniti really resembled that car body style. All I can say is this is by far the best car I have ever owned. Its sporty, fun to drive, FAST,and I absolutely love it !! My husband had a 55 Chevy he loved to race around when he was young and had to sell to buy our 1st house but this car has brought back a little of his racey side and he thinks this car is fantastic!!What more can I say ??!!
