Infiniti Eyes Expansion, Promises More Models by 2010

[bostonmerlin]

More crossovers, a sports car and a high-end car are on the top of Infinit’s list for expanding the current model line according to an Automotive News report. Carlos Tavares, Nissan Motor Corporation’s executive vice president for product planning, hinted at expansion efforts during an interview with Automotive News at the Frankfurt auto show.
Expanding the reach of the Infiniti brand is key to increasing global sales numbers. To this end, the brand will appear in Western Europe next fall. The brand already has a presence in South Korea, China, and Russia, but the goal is to reach 90 percent, or more, of the luxury market around the world in 2010.
The brand’s offerings will expand by 50 percent in the same timeframe. Currently, Infiniti has six models, including the new EX35 which is scheduled to go on sale in December.

^ Is that a rebadged Versa? Just trying to get an idea of size.

I am certainly interested to see what the sports car will be, and how they will differentiate it from the G.

It will be just a bit smaller than the FX. Price point will be in the mid 30's. Two great new technologies on the car too.

1. All around view back up camara. This is such a cool feature. They put four camara's around the car. One in the grill, two in each side mirrors, and one in the rear, to give you a 360 degree view (as if it were a from an airplane) of your surroundings.

2. New paint that will heal itself. Depending on the temp outside and the nature of the scratch the car will automaticly fix any minor scratches over a weeks time.
