Three new models under development for Infiniti - Article inside
Don't think its a repost.
Some is kinda old news to us here on the forums, but still some interesting new stuff:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/27/e...r-development/
"Shiro Nakamura, Nissan's global design chief, revealed that plans to expand the Infiniti lineup could include a small vehicle to slot in below the current G, a two-door high-powered flagship and some form of people mover that would fill the gap left by the EX and FX CUVs.
Since the GT-R will find its way to U.S. shores sporting a Nissan badge (and rightfully so), Nakamura maintains that a halo car, either a coupe or convertible, would fit well into the Infiniti lineup. Although details are scarce, the idea of installing a modified version of the GT-R's twin-turbo V6 into Infiniti's flagship shouldn't be out of the question.
On the other side of spectrum lies an entry-level model that would sport a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in favor of the 3.5-liter or 3.7-liter V6s that populate the majority of Infiniti's models. It stands to reason that the 200 HP QR25DE four-pot powering the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V would be a good fit, and if Infiniti decides to continue with a focus on RWD vehicles, we smell a sales sensation.
Nakamura is quick to point out that, "These are just ideas we are thinking about." But if Carlos Ghosn's optimism for the brand is matched with the right amount of R&D dollars, there's little doubt that good things could be on the horizon."

well im hoping the 2.5L V-6 will come here for a G25-- it will help grow in sales for pricing issues-- not everyone needs or uses the 306-hp.
btw hence right now we have the G37 6MT Sport called the R-Spec.... they're making something like a S-Spec or V-Spec like the skyline heritage
