Many cars were considered. More than 40 were tested. And only the most exceptional make Car and Driver's list of the "10 Best" cars. For 2007, one of those exceptional ten is the new Infiniti G Sedan.

One of just two luxury sport sedans to make the Car and Driver's "10 Best" list, the G Sedan was noted for its "supple ride," "balanced, agile handling," and "abundance" of power. While the performance enthusiasts called it "more aggressive" than its BMW counterpart, the G Sedan's appeal was more than one-dimensional. The refined interior, rich materials and undeniable value were also instrumental in elevating the G Sedan to its place among Car and Driver's 2007 "10 Best" cars.

A "light steering touch" and "top-notch" was just some of the praise Car and Driver mentioned when naming the Infiniti M45 Sport its favorite for the second year in a row in its Luxury Sport Sedan Comparison. Matched up against no less than the BMW 550i, the Lexus GS450h and the Mercedes-Benz E550, the M was triumphant in braking, and won raves for being quick on its feet and providing top?notch feedback. Also cited was an interior with "lots of room" and a "perfect" seat-to-pedals-to-wheel relationship. Making this feat even more noteworthy was the fact that the Infiniti M did not have the luxury of major updates since the last test, unlike its competitors. Once again, Infiniti has proven the power of vibrant design.

NASHVILLE (Jan. 10, 2007) - Infiniti today released the sketch which previews the look of the all-new 2008 Infiniti G Coupe. Along with a new luxury crossover concept, the next-generation G Coupe will be unveiled at the 2007 New York International Auto Show in April.

"Since the Infiniti Coupe Concept was unveiled last year, there's been a lot of speculation about the new G Coupe and what it will look like," said Mark Igo, Vice President and General Manager of Infiniti. "We're looking forward to the introduction of the G Coupe and the luxury crossover concept at this year's New York International Auto Show."

The new luxury crossover concept is a preview of bold new entry into the emerging crossover segment. Its inclusion into Infiniti's product line fulfills the commitment of three all-new Infiniti vehicles in 13 months beginning with the introduction of the all-new G Sedan last fall.

DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2007) - Following a record setting sales trend and the successful launch of the all-new G sedan, Infiniti is keeping the momentum going with today's unveiling of the 2008 Infiniti QX full-size luxury sport utility vehicle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

With a new interior and refined exterior, Infiniti is enhancing and improving what customers already love about the QX – styling, technology, comfort – without compromising its towing capacity and interior roominess.

Like the all-new G Sedan, the 2008 QX demonstrates Infiniti's philosophy of constantly evolving in the competitive luxury segment," said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager of Infiniti. "Despite being voted by consumers as top in its class in the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, we've given the new QX significant upgrades in the areas of interior design, performance, luxury features, and technology."

The new QX, which goes on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in April 2007, is the first major revision since it joined the luxury SUV scene in 2004 with a number of class-leading standard features. The exterior enhancements to the new QX include new front and rear fascias, new front fog lamps, new roof rack, standard 20-inch chromed aluminum-alloy wheels, and two new exterior colors – Lakeshore Slate and Serengeti Sand.

The QX's new interior is highlighted by a new instrument panel cluster design with Fine Vision electroluminescent instrumentation and a new genuine wood grain interior trim. Comfort and convenience is enhanced with a new 3rd-row power folding seat, standard heated steering wheel on the 4WD model, and a new stone interior.

Technological advancements include a new standard Bose® premium audio system with 12 speakers, Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog Converter and 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive and compact flash slot for playing MP3 files, Infiniti Navigation system and Intelligent Key.

Also available is an Infiniti Mobile Entertainment System with a larger screen (8.0 inches versus the previous 7.0), and a standard XM® NavTraffic® system with real-time traffic information (requires active XM® satellite radio subscription) – which allows drivers to choose the most efficient route to get to their destination.

The QX maintains its class-leading 2nd row roominess, go-anywhere ruggedness and the abundant power and up to 9,000-pound towing capability (when properly equipped) of the standard 320-horsepower DOHC 5.6-liter V8 engine.

Infiniti is keeping to its promise of delivering three new cars in thirteen months by introducing the next-generation Infiniti G Coupe and a new crossover concept at the 2007 New York International Auto Show in April.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 5, 2006) - Infiniti added two more prestigious awards to its trophy case during the Los Angeles Auto Show this past week.

The 2007 G sports sedan was also one of 11 finalists for the North American Car of The Year.

"When we designed the new Infiniti G, we wanted to retain the elements from its predecessor that made it so fun to drive and own – performance, style and value, said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti. "We kept this winning formula and refined it even more. It's no surprise respected automotive publications and our customers recognize what a wonderful vehicle the G sports sedan is."
