Nismo

2010-01-28T03:45:04Z

Blackjack08:

'''Nismo''' (abbreviated from '''Nis'''san '''Mo'''torsport International) is the [[motorsports]] and performance division of [[Nissan|Nissan Motor Company]]. Formed in 1984, Nismo cars have participated in [[All Japan Sports Prototype Championship|JSPC]], [[Formula Nippon]], JTCC, [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] and [[24 Hours of Daytona]]. They currently participate in the [[Super GT]].

== Products ==
=== Tuning kits ===
Nismo designs and manufactures many aftermarket performance parts for Nissan cars including aero kits, aluminum wheels, engine internals, and suspension parts.

Most [[Datsun]], [[Nissan]], and [[Infiniti]] branded cars have performance parts available from Nismo, either in production or as old stock. For example, Nismo sells parts such as unground cam billets, performance cams, [[piston]]s, etc for the KA24E engine, which was used in the Nissan small pickup truck for several years and also used for the 1989 and 1990 model years of [[240SX]], a popular car among [[Import scene]] enthusiasts (especially [[Drifting_(motorsport)|Drifters]]) in North America.

In Japan, the V35 Skyline and [[Nissan 350Z|Z33 Fairlady]] have both received several levels of Nismo tuning packages (E-Type, S-Tune, R-Tune, and S1 packages), with a full track spec Fairlady Z debuted at the 2005 Nismo Festival of Speed held at (formerly) Fuji International Raceway.

Announced in February 2007, Nismo announced the launch of the Nismo 380RS. The Nismo 380RS is a modified version of Nissan Z33 Fairlady Z. Two versions have been announced, the first is track-only model called the 380RS-C (C for competition), the second is a street model being sold at Nissan dealers. Both versions use a Nissan VQ series V6 engine, bored and stroked to 3.8L. The track-only 380RS-C makes 400hp, and the street version makes approximately 350hp. The Nismo 380RS is only being sold in Japan.

=== Complete cars ===
Recently, Nismo released the [[Nissan Skyline GT-R|Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec]] complete car, the Z-Tune. Because there was a limitation in the number of parts, Nismo was only able to create 20 of them. The complete version sells for 17,745,000 Yen (USD $146,600, as of December 7, [[2005]]) in Japan. However, the parts-conversion version, where the customer's Skyline GT-R's become the base car, sells for 13,125,000 Yen (USD $108,500, as of December 7, 2005). The engine is a RB26DETT Z2 (a normal GT-R engine with a stroked displacement of 2.8 liters & Nismo parts designed specifically for the Z2). All of the Z-Tunes have been sold already. The car weighs 1600kg.

Nismo was also responsibe for the R33 Skyline 400R and S14 Silvia 270R models. Both featured comprehensive modifications to the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, chassis, and aero work. Very limited numbers of both models were sold in 1997, and both command high resale prices even today. These models stressed Nismo's link to street car tuning, and were developed (as was the Z-Tune GT-R) at their Chiba City tuning garage. Nismo street tuned vehicles have been sold at Nissan dealerships for years, and come with full warranties.

== Exit and re-entry into the US Market ==
Nismo pulled out of the US market in the late 1990s due to parent company restructuring worldwide. The company's return in 2002 was celebrated with the launch of several US only models and tuning packages for the Sentra SE-R Spec-V, Frontier, 350Z, and recently the Titan and Murano. Most Nismo parts available for general consumers are their S-Tune and R-Tune packages. These packages are designed for street (S-Tune) and light track duty (R-Tune). Full race parts and equipment are also available to make this car a highly competitive vehicle within it's class range.

Datsun

2010-01-28T03:44:55Z

Blackjack08:

{{List of Datsun Models}}'''Datsun''' was the name '''[[Nissan]]''' used before it became Nissan. Nissan was the parent company of Datsun, and in the late 1970s on some models, Datsun started using the Nissan name on the car to eventually phase the name in once it was decided that the Datsun name would be dropped. The newly introduced 1982 [[Nissan Sentra]] (replacing the outgoing 210 model) was the first Nissan model that would actually be known primarily as a Nissan instead of a Datsun, even though it still sported a small Datsun badge.

See the [[Nissan]] page for additional comments about Datsun.

Nissan Xterra

2010-01-28T03:42:58Z

Blackjack08:

[[image:Xterra_left.jpg|right|350px|thumb|2006 Nissan Xterra]]
The '''[[Nissan]] Xterra''' is a [[compact SUV]] based on the [[Nissan]] F-Alpha platform, and shares many similarities with the [[Nissan Frontier]] pickup. The Xterra is slotted below the [[Nissan Pathfinder|Pathfinder]] in [[Nissan]]'s lineup.

All Xterras are currently built in Smyrna, Tennessee and São José dos Pinhais, Brazil. The Xterra is [[Nissan]]'s smallest [[SUV]] in the North America other than the [[Nissan X-Trail|X-Trail]] sold in Canada and Mexico. It is called the '''Nissan Roniz''' in Iran, where it is also built, under licence by Pars Khodro.

The Xterra was named after the XTERRA series of off-road triathlon races. [[Nissan]] has since become the race series' primary sponsor.

The Xterra was originally introduced in North America in the 2000 model year and was marketed as a simple, but capable [[SUV]] with the slogan ''Everything you need, nothing you don't.'' Although accepted by a wide range of ages, incomes, lifestyles and genders, [[Nissan]] marketed the Xterra primarily to the adventurous and outdoor consumer. Many commercials feature one driving the vehicle though mud, unloading mountain bikes out of the back, or packing up surfing equipment.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Nissan Xterra Review]]'''.
===Recent Changes===
Very little has changed in the 2006 Xterra when compared with the 2005 model. One difference, however, is the addition of the Xterra X trim level, which is set below the Xterra S and offers basic features.

===Styles and Major Options===
The 2006 Xterra comes in four major trim levels: the X, S, Off Road, and SE editions. All are powered by the same 4.0-L 265-[[hp]] [[V6]] engine, and all offer the choice of either [[Rear wheel drive|two]] or [[Four wheel drive|four wheel drive]]. Beginning with the X, each successive trim level is an upgrade from the last, with major options as follows:

====Xterra X====
*Vehicle Dynamic Control

===Reliability===
Although no reliability ratings are yet available for the latest Xterra model, previous models have exhibited minimal problems in all major areas of concern, including transmission, brakes, climate controls, and accessories, according to Automotive Information Systems.

*'''RECALL ALERT:''' [http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/01/more-than-240000-nissan-pathfinders.html More than 240,000 Nissan Pathfinders, Frontiers and XTerras Recalled]

===Safety===
The [[Nissan]] Xterra has consistently received high marks from the NHTSA, scoring 4/5 stars in frontal impact tests and 5/5 stars in side impact tests over the past several years. The Xterra's rollover rating, while not impressive, has improved from 2/5 stars in recent years to 3/5 for the 2006 and 2007 models.

As for safety features, all Xterra models come standard with the following equipment:
*Advanced [[airbag]] system with occupancy sensors
*Active head restraints
*LATCH system for child seats
*Front and rear crumple zones
*Steel side-door guard beams
In addition, front seat side-impact [[airbag]]s and roof mounted supplemental curtain [[airbag]]s are also available with the Xterra's Side and Curtain Air Bags Package.

==Criticisms==

*No 4-cylinder or diesel engine offered
*Interior elements look and feel cheap

==Current Generation: (2005–present)==
[[Image:2005Xterra.jpg|right|250px|thumb|2005 Nissan Xterra]]
In 2005, the Xterra was redesigned on a new platform shared by the [[Nissan Titan]] and [[Nissan Frontier]]. Although appearing smaller than the first generation, the new model is larger in all dimensions. Utilizing Nissan's 4.0L VQ40DE engine, it produces 265 hp. The new engine is an improvement upon Xterra's previous powerplant, more refined and incorporating [[variable valve timing]]. Available with a rear differential locker on the off-road model, the Xterra competes with other [[SUV]]s of its size.

==Previous Generations==
===Second generation (2002-2004)===
[[Image:2002Xterra.jpg|left|250px|thumb|2002 Xterra in Shock Blue]]
The Xterra's look was freshened up for 2002. The interior received a redesigned dash and center console, while the biggest changes were to the top-of-the-line powerplant and the front end. In 2001 Nissan restyled the front end of the Frontier aggressively and added overhead clearance in the engine bay. In 2002 Nissan brought similar changes to the Xterra, including Nissan's new 210HP 3.3L Roots Type Supercharger V6.

Color was also revised in 2002. ''Aztec Red'' and ''Khaki'' were dropped, while ''Shock Blue'', ''Sedona'', and ''Molten Lava'' were introduced. ''Atomic Orange'' was later added, but proved to be short lived. In addition, the audio systems were upgraded. The premium audio system, a 6-disc AM/FM/CD with 6 speaker setup, was replaced with a 300W Rockford Fosgate AM/FM/CD system with 8 speakers and a large subwoofer that took up a portion of the rear storage area.

===First Generation/Origins (2000-2001)===
[[Image:800px-2001Xterra.jpg|right|250px|thumb|2001 Xterra SE]]
During its first two years, there were three Xterra models. Base XEs came with the 4 cylinder, were manual transmission only, sported steel wheels, and lacked accessories such as the step rails and roof rack.

XE Xterras were the main seller for Nissan. XEs could be configured with serveral option packages, which added features such as the roof rack, side step-rails, or the 3.3L V6. The XE proved to be the most popular of the trim levels, with more flexibility on equipment options. A fully loaded XE had almost all the features of the top-of-the-line SE model (minus the flip-up [[sunroof]]), while costing an average of $2,000 less.

The SE was the premium trim level for the Xterra. Everything which was an option on the XE came standard on the SE. Nissan, to set apart a fully-optioned XE and the SE added a flip-up [[sunroof]] and special badging to the back of the truck ("Xterra SE" rather than just "Xterra"). Items such as mudflaps, carpeted floormats, cargo liners, and ventilation microfilters could be added for an additional charge.

==Worldwide==

==Design quirks and oddities==
Two design cues have remained constant through the vehicle's life, its raised rear roofline and the 'Hump' on the back lift gate. The raised roof allows for [[stadium seating]] and the hump allowed the inclusion of a first aid kit in the liftgate. Originally, it was added for functional reasons.

==Awards==
*2000 - The Xterra won the ''North American Truck of the Year'' by ''Autoweek'' magazine.
*2000 - Named ''Motor Trend'' magazine's ''Sport/Utility of the Year''.
*2000 - Named a ''Consumer Guide - Recommended Buy''.
*2001 - Named a ''Top Car'' by ''AAA New Car and Truck Buying Guide''.
*2001 - Named a ''Consumer Guide - Recommended Buy''.
*2005 - Named on the ''Automobile'' magazine's ''50 Great New Cars'' list.
*2006 - Won ''Motor Trend's'' - ''Sport/Utility of the Year'' for the second time.
*2006 - The Xterra won the ''4x4 of the Year'' award from ''Peterson's 4-Wheel and Off-Road'' magazine.
*2006 - Edmunds.com named the Xterra an ''Editors' Most Wanted Vehicle''.
*2006 - Named a ''Consumer Guide - Recommended Buy''.

Nissan Armada

2010-01-28T03:42:31Z

Blackjack08:

[[Image:2010-Nissan-Armanda-1small.jpg|right|frame|'''The 2010 [[Nissan]] Armada''']]
[[Image:2007_Armada_silverrocks.jpg|right|thumb|450px|'''The 2007 [[Nissan]] Pathfinder Armada''']]
The '''Nissan Armada''' (called the '''Pathfinder Armada''' in 2004, became simply "Armada" in 2005) is [[Nissan]]'s full-size [[sport utility vehicle]]. It shares its body-on-frame ''F-Alpha'' platform with the [[Nissan Titan]] pickup truck, [[Nissan Xterra]] SUV, [[Nissan Frontier]] pickup truck, and [[Nissan Pathfinder]] SUV. An upscale version of the Armada is sold as the [[Infiniti QX56]]. All Armadas are currently built in Canton, Mississippi.

The Armada was designed for North America and introduced for the 2004 model year. The switch to the Armada name was made later that year.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Nissan Armada Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*On mid-May 2009, Nissan's first foray into full-size (by American standards) SUVs receives a '''long awaited facelift''' after 6 long years of going relatively unchanged. Exterior-wise, the changes are subtle confined mostly to the grille (which casual observers will be hard-pressed to tell apart from the old one) and the front bumper, which now features a revised (and chromeless) air dam flanked on each side by round, generic foglamp openings. The biggest change is in the interior - which is all new. The dash, especially benefits from what seems like better materials, build quality and switchgear from higher end Infiniti and Nissan models. The new lineup will consist of three trim levels: the '''Armada SE''' and two special editions, the '''Armada Titanium Edition''' and '''Armada Platinum Edition'''. Under the hood, all three Armadas will be powered by a 5.6 litre V8 that produces 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque and attached to a 5-speed automatic transmission. As already mentioned, the updated Armada will go on sale sometime in the middle of May 2009 as a 2010 model with prices starting at $37,210 and $42,810 for the Armada 4x2 SE and 4x4 SE respectively, $42,140 and $44,940 for the Titanium Edition 4x2 and 4x4 respectively and $49,390 and $52,190 for the 4x2 Platinum Edition and 4x4 Platinum Edition models respectively.

===Reliability===
According to Consumer Reports, the Armada's "reliability has been poor."

===Safety===
Results from the [http://www.safercar.gov NHTSA] show that the Armada scores just average marks in safety. Front-impact crash tests yielded an impressive 5-Star rating for the passenger side and a slightly lower 4-Star rating for the driver's side. No tests were done for side-impact safety, and tests for rollover earned the Armada a 3-Star rating in both [[2WD]] and [[AWD]] models.

Some of the standard safety features found on all models of the Armada include:
*4-wheel [[anti-lock brakes]] (ABS)
*[[Electronic brake-force distribution]] (EBD)
*Front and rear stabilizer bars
*Front and roof curtain mounted [[airbag]]s
*Occupancy sensors
*Active head restraints
*Child safety locks

Nissan Frontier

2010-01-28T03:42:08Z

Blackjack08:

[[Image:Frontier face left.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Nissan Frontier]]
The '''Nissan Frontier''' is a model of [[pickup truck]] assembled by Nissan and sold under the [[Nissan]] brand name. Nissan was the pioneer of the compact pickup truck market in 1959, joined in the 1960s by [[Mazda]] and [[Toyota]]. Since 1959, Nissan is known for a number of notable firsts in the compact pickup truck market, including the first extended cab bodystyle (in the 1979 Nissan King Cab) and the first crew cab bodystyle, in the 2000 Frontier. Frontiers are currently built in Smyrna, Tennessee.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} Review]]'''.

==Hybrid Models==
There is no [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] model of the Frontier.

==Unique Attributes==

==Resale Values==
According to Kelley Blue Book, the four-cylinder 2WD XE King Cab is projected to retain 58 percent of its value after a 2-year period, while the 4WD SE Crew Cab is expected to hold an impressive 67 percent.

==Criticisms==
*No [[V6]] engine available until 1999
*No standard cab available
*Turning radius larger than preferred
*5-Speed automatic transmission shifts hard under heavy acceleration

==Current Generation: (2004–present)==
Initially, the Frontier was considered compact, but beginning with the totally-redesigned 2005 Frontier (introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show), it became more mid-sized. Built from the new Nissan F-Alpha platform, it now resembles the company's full-size [[Nissan Titan]] truck.

The new truck's wheelbase is 125.9 in (3.20 m) with a 205.5 in (5.22 m) overall length. Towing capacity is 6500 lb (2,950 kg). A 4.0 L VQ-family [[V6]], the VQ40DE, is the standard engine, and it produces a respectable 265 hp (198 kW) with 284 ft·lbf (385 N·m) of torque. Also available is the QR25DE four-cylinder engine, which is also found in the Sentra SE-R Spec V sports sedan. A six-speed manual is standard with a five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]] optional. Both [[rear wheel drive|rear]] and four-wheel drive are available. [[Traction control]] and [[hill-descent control]] are also available.

===First Generation/Origins===
[[image:1998_Frontier.jpg|thumb|right|350px|The 1998 Nissan Frontier]]
The Frontier was introduced in 1997 for the 1998 model year as a replacement for the aging Nissan pickup. Nissan first offered the Frontier with a 4-cylinder engine, the KA24DE, but added the 6-cylinder engine, the VG33E in 1999.

That changed in 1999 with the 2000 Frontier Crew Cab. The Crew Cab was the first compact pickup to offer a 4-door bodystyle. Until that point, crew cabs were heavy duty versions of full-size trucks and were mainly used as commercial vehicles.

For 2001, Nissan facelifted the Frontier, introducing bolder styling in an effort to make it more appealing to younger buyers. The Frontier was completely redone after the 2004 model year.

==Worldwide==
The Frontier is also known as the [[Nissan Navara|Navara]] in some parts of the world.

===Main Competitors===
The Titan was created to challenge the market-leaders:
* [[Ford F-150]]
* [[Chevrolet Silverado 1500|Chevy Silverado]]/[[GMC Sierra]]
* [[Dodge Ram]]
* [[Toyota Tundra]]
In particular, [[Toyota]] had been unable to break into the North American fullsize truck market since its 1993 introduction of the smallish [[Toyota Tundra|T100]], and [[Toyota Tundra|Tundra]] sales since its 1999 introduction, while good, were still off compared to [[General Motors|GM]] or [[Ford]].

The [[Toyota Tundra|Tundra]] hovered just over 100,000 units annual sales when the larger Titan was introduced, while the [[Dodge Ram|Ram]] sold 400,000 and the [[Chevrolet Silverado 1500|Silverado]]/[[GMC Sierra|Sierra]] and [[Ford F-150|F-Series]] sold 900,000 annually.

During the first full year of production (December 2003 to December 2004), 85,920 Titans were sold, while the [[Dodge Ram]] declined somewhat and the [[Ford F-150|F-150]] jumped to nearly 950,000. 86,945 Titans were sold in 2005. 126,529 [[Toyota Tundra]]s were sold in 2005.

==Hybrid Models==
At this time, [[Nissan]] has no plans to create a [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] version of the Titan. They've announced five new models as part of the "2007 '''Shift_2.0'''" slogan, yet they are only inroducing one [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid vehicle]], the [[Nissan Altima Hybrid]].

==Unique Attributes==
The amount of chrome detailing on these trucks makes their appearance stand out from their competition.

==Criticisms==
"[[Nissan]] has made no effort to match the staggering mix of options in engine, transmissions, body styles and accessories that greet, say, a [[Ford]] pickup buyer. So you'll have to look elsewhere if you want a big duallie or a cheap, [[V6]]-powered regular cab." - '''New Car Test Drive'''

==Generations==
===First Generation/Origins (2004–present)===
The Titan features the 5.6L ''VK56DE'' [[V8]] engine which generates 305-[[HP|hp]] (227 kW) at 4900 rpm and 379 ft·lbs(514 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm. It is available in either [[Rear wheel drive|rear wheel drive]] or four wheel drive with a 5-speed [[automatic transmission]]. It comes with a choice of a '''Crew Cab''' with a 5'7" bed or '''King (Extended) Cab''' with a 6'5" bed.

==Worldwide==

==Design quirks and oddities==

==Awards==
* The Titan was listed by '''Edmunds.com''' as the "''Best Full-Size [[Trucks|Truck]]''."
* The Titan was nominated for the ''North American Truck of the Year'' award for 2004.

The '''Nissan Qashqai''' is a new [[compact SUV|compact]] [[crossover SUV]] to be released in early 2007 for the 2008 model year by the Japanese automaker [[Nissan]]. The Rogue will be sold in North America and will replace the [[Nissan X-Trail]] in Canada as Nissan's smaller [[crossover SUV]], as the [[Nissan Murano|Murano]] continues to grow in size and price. The Nissan Rogue will make its debut at the [[North American International Auto Show]] in Detroit in January 7, 2007.

And for you automotive history buffs, [[Rambler]] used the Rogue nameplate in mid-1966 on a "performance" edition of the [[Rambler American|American]].

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
* For MY 2010, the Qashqai/Rogue receives its first mid-cycle facelift.[http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/12/2010-nissan-qashqai-facelift-first.html]

* For 2009, Nissan adds a 7-seat LWB variant to the Qashqai (and JDM Dualis) range tentatively called the '''Qashqai+2'''. Expected to debut at the 2008 [[London Motor Show]], the crossover is now extra long by 211 mm or 8.3 in to 4,526 mm or 178.2 in over the 5-seater. The wheelbase has also grown by 135 mm or 5.3 in. – taking it to 2,765 mm or 109 in. It is also extra higher by 38 mm (now 1,643 mm or 64.7 in) due to the roof being reshaped. Headroom benefits all around. All this extra real estate has taken a toll on the vehicle. It now sports a porky extra 100 kg or 220 pounds of weight so Nissan has seen it fit to overhaul the suspension settings and retune steering assistance. In Europe, the fat will be shoved along by a choice of two gas/petrol and two diesel burners:

** 1.6 litre Petrol 115 Hp FWD + 5-speed Manual
** 2.0 liter Petrol 140 hp Nissan ALL-MODE 4WD + 6-speed Manual (optional Nissan CVT)
** 1.5 liter Diesel 106 hp FWD + 6-speed Manual
** 2.0-liter Diesel 150 hp Nissan ALL-MODE 4WD + 6-speed Manual (optional 6-Speed Auto)

===Styles and Major Options===
*platform [[Nissan C platform]]
*Premium Package (SL 2WD) $1,900
*Premium Package (SL AWD) $2,200
*Leather Package (SL AWD) $1,800
*Moonroof (SL) $800

The '''Infiniti QX4''' and the [[Nissan Terrano Regulus]] are mid-size sport utility vehicles ([[SUV]]s) introduced in 1997 by [[Nissan]] and luxury subsidiary [[Infiniti]] as rebadged [[Nissan Pathfinder]]s. It was released a year after [[Acura]]'s introduction of the [[Acura SLX|SLX]] and [[Lexus]]'s larger [[Lexus LX|LX 450]]. The QX4 was Infiniti's first entry into the SUV market segment.

In the North American market, it was marketed as the Infiniti QX4 while in Japan it was sold as the Nissan Terrano Regulus. Major differences between these vehicles and the Pathfinder include a more advanced [[four wheel drive]] system, a more upscale interior, and unique styling. Although marketed as a luxury vehicle, it is capable off-road service due to its low-range four wheel drive system and 8.3 inches (211 mm) of ground clearance

===Reliability===
*'''RECALL ALERT:''' On Oct 7, 2007, Nissan issued a recall for 372,250 MY 1997-2001 Pathfinders and Infiniti QX4s registered in the Northeastern United States (where there are large amounts of road salt in the winter). The problem stems from an insufficient coating on the fuel filler tube which can develop an opening at the lower mounting bracket of the metal fuel filler tube and salt and water will get in and corrode it, thus allowing gas to leak and create a fire hazard.[http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/07/nissan-recalling-372-250-pathfinders-and-infiniti-qx4s/]

The '''G20''' was [[Infiniti|Infiniti's]] entry-level [[luxury car]] during most of the 1990s and into the 2000s. The G20 was a product of [[badge engineering]] as it was virtually identical to the non-USDM (United States domestic market) [[Nissan Primera]] sedan, although the G20 offered a different variant of [[Nissan]]'s 2.0 liter [[Straight-4|inline 4-cylinder]] engine. Two generations of the G20 exist in the United States, the HP10 (P10), built from 1991 to 1996, and the HP11 (P11), built from 1999 to 2002. Two major trim packages were offered: Touring, badged G20t, available from model years 1994 to 1996 and 1999 to 2001, and Sport (with no badge modification) which was offered during model year 2002. All G20s were [[front-wheel drive]] and were built in Oppama, Japan.

== Marketing ==
The G20 was marketed in the United States as a competitor to European luxury sport coupes such as the [[BMW_3-Series|BMW 3-series]], reflected in advertisements with the tagline "Born in Japan, Educated in Europe, Now Acclaimed in America." Despite the lofty ambitions of the Nissan marketing department, it only achieved niche status as a competitor to other contemporary offerings from [[Acura]] and [[BMW]].

== Engine ==
The G20 was powered by a [[transverse engine|transverse]]ly mounted [[Overhead camshaft#Double overhead camshafts|DOHC]] [[Naturally-aspirated engine|NA]] [[reciprocating engine|reciprocating]] [[internal combustion engine]], the [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]], a 2.0 liter (1998 cc) [[Straight-4|Inline 4-cylinder]]. This engine was also shared with the [[USDM]] [[Nissan Sentra]]/[[Nissan 200SX]] SE-R, [[Nissan NX|Nissan NX2000]], and a host of non-[[USDM]] Nissan vehicles. The particular engine used in the G20 produced 140 [[Horsepower#Shaft_horsepower_.28shp.29|crank horsepower]] at first, and 145 in '00+ editions (116 to 126 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]]; stock range) and 132 lb<sub>f</sub> or 136 lb<sub>f</sub> of [[torque]] (111 to 120 [[Effective Torque|wft·lb<sub>f</sub>]]; stock range). These engines were also fairly high-revving with a [[redline]] of 7450 [[rpm]] for 1991 through 1996 editions, 6950 rpm for the 1999 edition, and 6750 rpm for 2000+ editions. Like other SR-powered cars, the G20 has become extremely popular among "[[Sport compact#Tuning|tuner]]s" who like the engine for its flexibility, reliability, fuel economy and high power-handling capabilities. These factors combined with a low buy-in cost have caused used SR-powered Sentras, 200SXs and G20s to become popular and prominent in the tuner or "[[import scene]]" subculture.

}}
The first 1991 G20 was completed on July 10, 1991. The final 1996 G20 was completed on July 19, 1996. The main changes for the P10 came as a midyear refresh in 1993 (model year 1993.5), when dual [[airbag]]s replaced motorized [[seatbelt]]s, leather interiors came standard with power front seats, and the audio system was upgraded to six speakers. In addition, the 1994 model year was given a new chrome [[grille]], body-colored side moldings, a lowport engine (replacing the original highport SR20DE in which the intake plenum is below the fuel injectors and fuel rail), and larger 195/65R14 tires. A new trim line, the "Touring" G20t, came with a sportier black leather interior, fold-down rear seats, and a [[limited-slip differential]]. The 1994 model year also saw the air conditioner converted from R12 to R134a refrigerant, a change in the vehicle's self-diagnostic system to [[On Board Diagnostics|OBD]]-II, and other new options such as remote [[keyless entry]]. The G20 was temporarily discontinued after the 1996 model year, leaving the [[Infiniti J30|J30]] as Infiniti's lowest-priced car for the 1997 model year. However, the J30 was also discontinued in 1997 after the introduction of the larger [[Infiniti_I|I30]], leaving Infiniti without an entry-level model.

==Second Generation 1999-2002 (P11)==

}}

The second-generation G20 underwent several changes, including adopting the [[Multi-link suspension|multi-link]] [[beam axle|beam]] rear suspension from the 1995-1999 [[Nissan Maxima]]. Despite enthusiasts' aversion to the beam, several publications praised the handling of the updated G20<ref>http://www.se-r.net/about/g20/scc/oct98/tb.html</ref>. With the increased size and luxury options, however, the stock 140-145 [[Horsepower#Shaft_horsepower_.28shp.29|crank horsepower]] engine was seemingly underpowered. The first 2nd generation 1999 G20 was completed on May 18, 1998. The final 2nd generation 2002 G20 was completed on January 11, 2002. Several noteworthy changes for the P11 came as a refresh in the 2000 model year, when the 145 [[Horsepower#Shaft_horsepower_.28shp.29|crank horsepower]] [[Rocker arm|roller rocker]] variant of the SR engine was implemented, anti theft [[immobilizer]] circuitry was added, anti-glare side mirrors, and a keyless remote trunk release became a feature.
{{-}}

==End of Production==
The G20 was discontinued in favor of 2003's [[rear wheel drive]] [[Infiniti G35|G35]], a [[badge engineering|badge engineered]] export version of the [[Japan Domestic Market|JDM]] [[Nissan Skyline#V35|V35 Nissan Skyline]] which was introduced in 2001. The G35 received significant praise from the automotive press and became a sales success for Infiniti despite being priced approximately [[US Dollar|USD$]]5,000 above the G20's average [[MSRP]] of $23,000. The G35, significantly larger and more powerful than the G20, was aimed more at the entry luxury-[[sports car]] market instead of the G20's luxury-[[sport compact]] market. The [[Nissan Primera]] was continued as the slightly restyled HP11-144 and the significantly restyled HP12 in non US markets.

==Tuning==
===Engine Modifications===
====Engine Upgrades====
Forced induction ([[turbocharging]]) is often used to upgrade [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]] powered G20s to higher levels, as much as 200 to 300 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]]. Because the turbocharged [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DET|SR20DET]] has a very similar design to the [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]], many components from the former can easily be used with the latter. More common than forced induction upgrades are the use of bolt-on [[aftermarket]] parts such as intakes and exhausts. Using only the bolt-ons, around 155 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]] is possible.

Common engine modifications can include intakes ([[Warm air intake|WAI]], [[Cold air intake|CAI]]), larger [[Mass airflow sensor|MAF]], larger [[fuel injector]]s, [[Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]], [[Exhaust system|exhaust]] ([[Exhaust_system#Cat-back|cat back]], [[Exhaust system#Header-back|axle back]]), [[underdrive pulleys]], lightened [[flywheel]], [[camshaft]]s, camshaft gears, [[piston]]s, [[valvetrain]] (7500 to 9000 rpm), [[Cylinder head porting|headwork]], and stroker kits (up to 2.2 to 2.4 L). As the [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]] is a popular tuning engine there are also vast numbers of unusual or custom upgrades.

====Engine Swaps====
With certain [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DET|SR20DET]] engine swaps, high levels of around 400 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]] are possible. The newer [[Nissan SR engine]]s can also be swapped into the G20. Factory turbocharged [[Nissan SR engine#SR20VET|SR20VET]] Neo-VVL swaps are possible but rare, and output is difficult to estimate. The naturally aspirated [[Nissan SR engine#SR20VE|SR20VE]] Neo-[[VVL]] can also be used in an engine swap which can (with bolt-ons) generate around 190 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]] and can also be turbocharged. [[Nissan VQ engine#VQ35DE|VQ35DE]] swaps are also theoretically possible.

===Transmission===
Common [[manual transmission]] modifications include: Cryo treating, shot peening, transmission case welding, aftermarket [[Limited slip differential|LSD]], aftermarket [[axle]]s, and aftermarket [[clutch]]es. Common [[automatic transmission]] modifications include: Built valve body, aftermarket [[torque converter]]s, [[Automatic Transmission Fluid|ATF]] coolers, and aftermarket [[Transmission Control Unit|TCU]].

Stock manual transmissions are typically usable up to approximately 250 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]], while stock automatic transmissions can only handle about 155 [[Horsepower#Effective_horsepower_.28ehp.29|whp]]. Most front wheel drive transmissions from other SR powered cars can be used with few modifications.

===Suspension===
Common suspension modifications include lowering [[spring (device)|springs]], [[Shock_absorber|shocks]], [[coilover]]s, [[strut]] bars (front and rear), pillow-ball strut mount (front only for P11 with front and rear for P10), [[sway bar]] (rear), and traction bars.

===Wheels===
'''P10 tire fitments''':
* 195/60/14 - 23.2 in. diameter (35-45 mm offset required) - ('91-'93 P10)
* 195/65/14 - 24 in. diameter (35-45 mm offset required) - ('93.5-'96 P10)

centerbore = 66.1 mm bolt pattern = 4x114.3 mm

'''P11 tire fitments''':
* 195/65/15 - 25 in. diameter (35-45 mm offset required) - ('99-'02 Standard)
* 195/60/15 - 24.2 in. diameter (35-45 mm offset required) - ('99-'01 Touring)
* 205/50/16 - 24.1 in. diameter (35-45 mm offset required) - ('02 Sport)

centerbore = 66.1 mm bolt pattern = 4x114.3 mm

===Brakes===
Common [[disc brake|brake]] modifications can include calipers, [[brake pad|pads]], and steel brake lines. Many brake kits are available.

===Other===
Aftermarket [[Engine Control Unit|ECU]] and various engine management systems are available, as are [[carbon fiber]] body parts and various [[body kit]]s. "Universal" parts such as [[steering wheel]]s and seats can often be used. Also, several [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEM]] [[Nissan Primera]] parts from around the world (primarily [[Japan Domestic Market|JDM]] and [[United Kingdom domestic market|UKDM]]) can be used such as dual [[headlight]]s and rain guards. Custom parts are sometimes fabricated by G20 owners; these include fuel rails, brake kits, and custom body pieces (eyebrows, bumper lips, grilles).

==G20 community==
As with many "tuner" cars, G20 owners have fostered a strong sense of community, largely through the internet. Owners often partake in group buys of brand name products for a collective discount, with some internet forums seeing as many as one group buy request every four days.<ref>http://www.g20.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=24</ref> Members of the community may also congregate in a [[car tuning]] "meet", where multiple owners meet in person to talk about their love of the G20 and gain camaraderie with fellow G20 fans.

===Common reliability problems===
* Fifth-gear pop-out - On pre-1994 manual transmission models, a flawed 5th gear [[synchro]] can cause the transmission to pop out of gear when under load (accelerating or going uphill). To lower chance of pop-out, do not rest one's hand on the gear lever.

* Blower resistor - Failure of this component can cause the climate control to get stuck at the highest blower setting.

* "P10 Resistor" - This silver-colored box under the hood can cause the automatic transmission to shift roughly.

* Power [[antenna]] - The mast can get stuck, or the motor can burn out.

* Automatic seatbelts - Used only in model years 1991-1993, they may get stuck; there is a [[product recall|recall]] pertaining to this problem.

* P10 [[fuel pump]] failure - occurs with low levels of gasoline. To lower chance of fuel pump failure, remain above 12.5% or 1/8 of a tank; alternately, keep fill-ups under 13.913 gallons.

* [[Power steering]] hose leaks - due to faulty OEM "clamps". Replace them with better aftermarket clamps to avoid possible corrosion of other engine components.

* [[Starter motor]] - Failure of this part is common in both the P10 and P11, particularly in the 2000+ P11.

==Awards==
The G20 earned many automotive awards over its lifespan:

* [[IntelliChoice]]: 1993 “Best Overall Import Car Value Over $13,000” and “Best Value in Compact Class Over $16,000.”<ref>http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/makehistory/71,0/makeHistory.aspx</ref>
* [[J.D. Power and Associates]]: 1996 Top Score in Customer Satisfaction Index.<ref>http://www.nissannews.com/site_library/infiniti/news/products/1996/7_9_96.shtml</ref>
* J.D. Power and Associates: 1997 Second Highest Scorer in Customer Satisfaction Index.
* IntelliChoice: 1999 G20 and G20t “A Best Overall Value - Compact Sedan Over $15,000.”<ref>http://www.nissannews.com/site_library/infiniti/news/products/1999/2_15_99b.shtml</ref>
* [[CAR Magazine]]: Rated One of the Top 10 Best Handling Cars in the World (P11)

The '''[[Infiniti]] FX''' is a mid-size [[Luxury Cars|luxury]] [[SUVs|crossover SUV]], currently sold in two models: the '''FX45''' and the '''FX50'''.

With the FX45 crossover, Infiniti sought to combine sports-car performance with [[SUVs|SUV]] functionality. The FX45's 4.5L [[V8]] generates 315-[[HP|hp]] (235kW) and is coupled with a five-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic transmission]] that incorporates a manual-shift mode. ATTESA-ETS [[Four Wheel Drive|All wheel drive]] is standard, and the FX45 has a sport-tuned four-wheel independent suspension. The FX35 uses a 3.5L [[V6|V6]].

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Infiniti FX Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*The FX series was updated for 2006 with a new look, some new options, and additions to its standard features. The wheels, grille, and front bumper have all been redesigned. The FX35 now has leather seats, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel and a rear view camera with a color screen standard. The FX45's [[V8]] engine was also upgraded to 320-[[HP|hp]] (239kW) and it gets a standard sunroof, [[Bluetooth]] system, rear view camera with a color screen, and aluminum roof rails, all of which are available through various premium packages that are optional for the FX35.

* For the 2009 model year, the FX is refreshed into its second model generation. Featuring two V8 engine variants, the '''FX50''' and the '''FX45''' is powered by a 390 hp 5.0 litre and 320 hp 4.5 litre powerplant, respectively.

==Hybrid Models==
[[Infiniti]] has not announced any upcoming [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid vehicles]], to date.

==Unique Attributes==
Marketed as a "Bionic Cheetah," the FX was one of the first true [[Luxury Cars|Luxury]] [[SUV]]s, sporty and aggressive yet suited less for off-roading than for a family lifestyle.

The engine is tuned similarly to the G35, and produces a delightful 'growl'. Acceleration and road manners are excellent for a crossover type vehicle.

==Resale Values==
According to [http://www.carsdirect.com CarsDirect.com], the 2006 FX will have an excellent resale value.

In addition, Kelley Blue Book estimates that after 24 months the FX35 should retain 58% of its retail value, while the FX45 should retain 62%. After 48 months, those figures drop to 45% and 49%.

==Criticisms==
*"This also means, of course, that for serious off-roading the FX45 is not worth a cheetah's furball. Or we assume it's not, since Infiniti didn't let us take it off-road during our day's drive." — '''AutoWeek'''
*"Some of the FX's more attractive options, such as navigation, are grouped into pricey packages and cannot be ordered separately." - '''Kelley Blue Book'''

The vehicle is wide, and a magnet for door dings. Many users report short tread life with the stock Goodyear RSA tires.

The cargo capacity is much smaller than in the Murano, though similar in size of the BMW X5.

Rear visibility for the driver is an issue. If the rear seats are in the full upright position, most of the view from the rearview mirror out the back is blocked by the three headrests. The rear seats can be tilted back to improve visibility if not in use.

==Current Generation (2002-present)==
After debuting the concept in 2001, Infiniti completely redesigned the FX45 Concept car and once again unveiled the second generation model at the 2002 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. This model, however, would go into production and become the first FX45 marketed to the public. In addition, a [[V6]] model (the FX35) was produced and sold alongside the [[V8]] FX45.

==First Generation/Origins (2001)==
[[Infiniti]] first unveiled the FX45 as a concept car at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The goal was to create a vehicle that combined the practicality of an [[SUV]] with the performance of a sports car, and at a time when the luxury SUV market was only blossoming, the FX45 Concept was meant to compete more with luxury cars like the [[BMW 7 Series]], [[Lexus GS 430]], and even [[Infiniti]]'s own [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]].

==Worldwide==
[[Nissan]], [[Infiniti]]'s parent company, offers no parallel models to the FX series in Japan. The FX series is offered exclusively through [[Infiniti]], which operates in the US, Canada, Taiwan, the Middle East, and South Korea.

==Awards==
The FX35's 280-[[HP|hp]] [[V6]] is the only engine to be named to ''Ward's Auto World'''s "10 Best" list every year that they've awarded it.

[[Image:Infiniti20Q45 1280.jpg|right|450px|2000 Infiniti Q45]]
The '''Infiniti Q45''' is a fullsize luxury car and serves as the flagship of [[Nissan]]'s [[Infiniti]] marque. It is a [[rear wheel drive]] luxury sedan powered by a [[V8]] engine. The original Infiniti Q45 was based on the Japanese-market Nissan President (the flagship of the entire Nissan lineup at the time), but later generations were based on the lower-end [[Nissan Cima]]. The Q45 competes most directly with the [[Lexus LS]], [[Cadillac DTS]], [[Lincoln Town Car]] and [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class]].

The Q45 was completely redesigned for 2002 (no 2001 model was offered), now based on the new platform shared by both the Cima and the President. This Q45 focused on performance again with a new 340 [[HP|hp]] (253 kW) 4.5 L VK45DE V8 engine, gatling gun inspired HID headlights, and sharper styling. The car features a 5-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] transmission with overdrive. Despite good reviews, sales remained poor — just 1129 were sold in the United States for all of 2005.

The current Q45 has received praise from ''Car and Driver'', ''Edmunds'' and ''Consumer Guide''. Low sales are attributed not to the car’s overall quality or performance, but to lack of advertising and the debatable prestige of the Infiniti name.

The 2003 was given a number of under the skin upgrades including a new security system, a numerically higher final drive ratio, reprogrammed TCU, and during the year, a satellite radio option. The CD player was now a one at a time feed into the dash.

The Q45 received a number of upgrades for the 2005 model year, including new front and rear fascias, restyled hood and grille, restyled trunk lid, new headlight design, integrated fog lights and LED taillights. Inside were new contoured double-stitched seats, white luminescent gauge markings, chrome accents and dark maple trim. 2005 upgrades also included a recalibrated transmission and new 17" alloy wheels.

The following features are standard in the Q45: all-leather interior, power sunroof, 8-way power front seats, remote keyless entry, rain-detecting wipers and side curtain airbags. Standard electronics include: CD, 8 Bose speakers, trip computer, rear camera parking sensors and a voice-activated [[Navigation System|navigation system]]. The 2002 Q45 was the first vehicle to ever offer voice-activated [[Navigation System|navigation]] controls.

The car seats five and has a base price of US$56,200.

This F50 chassis and suspension is very similar to the US FY33 (1997-2001 Q45) and Y34 (US 2003-2004 M45).

The Q45 was moved off the Nissan President platform to the new lower-end Nissan Cima platform in 1997. This Q45 had a more conventional appearance (some in the automotive press dubbed this a "Japanese Buick") and a smaller 4.1 L VH41DE engine that produced 266 [[HP|hp]] (199 kW) and accleration figures of 0-60 in 7.7 seconds (compared to 6.3 seconds for the 1998 [[Lexus LS]]). From this model, both the Q45 and the Cima were merged together. The all-multilink suspension was changed to struts at the front end, and was further tuned for comfort. The steering slowed down even more to an 18.5:1 ratio. None of this did much to help the car's sales; Q45 sales in the North American market remained much lower than sales of its primary competitor, the [[Lexus|Lexus]] LS. Traction control and a VLSD were standard.

The 2000 Q45 Anniversary Edition was the highest trim level available for the second-generation Q45. This trim level was standard on the 2001 models. The Q45t was the most expensive vehicle in the Infiniti (excluding the AE for 2000) lineup and offered enhanced performance, a rear spoiler, heated seats, dynamically adjusted shock absorbers and other luxurious features not available in a standard Q45.

The car's appearance was slightly altered for 1999. For this year, HID headlights were added and the analog clock returned. Minor styling changes were made to the front and rear fascias. 17" wheels and an electronic adjustable suspension became standard on the Q45t. Numerous safety improvements in 1998 model were augmented in the 1999 and 2000 models.

Standard features for the second-generation Q45 included a leather interior with exotic woodgrain trim, but no dual climate control, a Bose audio system with eight speakers with an in-dash single disc CD player, auto dimming rear view mirror, [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] light on and delay off timer, and steering wheel-mounted cruise control and head unit control. Also standard was a memorized adjustment system for the driver's seat and steering wheel. An electronic sunroof and heated seats were available as options.

The first Q45 came to market in 1989 as 1990 model. Car magazines and reviewers were impressed by the Q45's performance such as a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 6.7 seconds, and its high-output 4.5 L V8 engine rated at 278 [[HP|hp]] and 292 ft·lbf of torque. At the time, its targeted competitors such as the [[Mercedes S-Class]], [[BMW 7-Series]], [[Jaguar XJ]] and [[Cadillac Fleetwood]] had much bigger engines with [[HP|horsepower]] ratings in the lower 200 [[HP|hp]] range and 0-60 mph times at an average of 9-10 seconds. All Q45 include a VLSD, whereas the LS never did.

One can arguably say that the introduction of luxury performance sedans such as the Q45 and its main competitor, the [[Lexus LS]], had triggered the luxury car market into realizing that fullsize, high-priced luxury sedans should provide better-than-average performance as well as provide luxurious amenities. The short run 1993 included standard first gear start.

In terms of styling, the Q45 was a distinctive vehicle. Infiniti attempted to redefine the modern luxury sedan by offering a car with rather spartan amenities such as firm leather seats instead of cushy couch-like seats and no chrome or woodgrain interior trim. The Q45's grille also shied buyers away with its unusual appearance. A more conventional appearance (including a more conservative grille, woodgrain/chrome interior trim and cushy seats), more sedated performance figures, slower 17:1 steering (except on the '''Q45t''', which retained the original 15.1:1 ratio), and a softer suspension were all added in 1994 to make it a more status-quo luxury sedan. Thicker glass, keyless remote, auto-dim rearview mirror, dipping side view mirrors, an improved transmission heat exchanger and external ATF filter, new oval intake ports and revised disc injectors, lower ratio 1st and 2nd gears, fog lights, and metal backed camshaft timing chain guides were added in 1994.

The Q45 came in three variations: base, Q45t and Q45a. The Q45t and Q45a featured a rear stabilizer bar (with the a model being larger in diameter) and both models having a 1 mm smaller in diameter front sway bar, rear spoiler, BBS forged alloy wheels, and 4-wheel steering. The 1991 Q45 (renamed Q45a from 1992) had the world's first active (actually semi-active) suspension. HICAS and the faster steering ratios was discontinued in the 1995 Q45t model and the Q45a model was not imported in 1996.

Sales never took off due in part to a notorious advertising campaign which did not include actual photos or information about the car. Poor sales were also blamed on the car's unconventional styling. In Japan, this model was later sold as the '''Nissan Infiniti Q45''' rather than the "Nissan President".

The G50 chassis continued in production in Japan until 2002 as the President in both regular and extended wheelbase versions. Many options that never appeared on US G50 were available.

Infiniti M

2010-01-28T03:34:58Z

Blackjack08:

[[Image:1-2011-infiniti-msmall.jpg|right|frame|'''The 2011 [[Infiniti]] M37]]
The '''M37''' and '''M56''' are [[luxury cars]] from [[Nissan]]'s [[Infiniti]] marque. The original '''M30''' was an [[Infiniti]] model from 1990 to 1992, after which it was discontinued, and the '''M45''' was introduced in 2003. The '''M35''' trim came in for the 2005 model year and continues, along with the '''M45''', for 2007 after being wholly redesigned for 2006. For 2010, a new generation of Infiniti Ms have been introduced. They have also received new nomenclature in the form of '''M37''', '''M37x''' and '''M56''', owing to their new larger displacement engines.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Infiniti M Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*On Friday, August 14th at 9:30 PM EST, Infiniti will unveil the 3rd generation M at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. However, as early as Aug 5th, Infinti released a teaser image on the web.[http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/05/infiniti-teases-2011-m-ahead-of-3d-pebble-debut/]

'''UPDATE:''' Aug 14th 2009, Infiniti has virtually unveiled the '''third-generation (US) / fourth-generation (International) 2011 Infiniti M''' on the Monterey Peninsula. [http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/14/monterey-2009-2011-infiniti-m-makes-virtual-reveal-in-pebble/]

===Styles and Major Options===
The 2007 Infiniti M is available in two styles and a total of 5 trim levels. The M35 houses a 3.5L 275[[hp]] [[V6]] engine, while the M45 utilizes an even more powerful 4.5L 325[[hp]] [[V8]].

==Criticisms==
*"...the rear center seat is much less inviting, with a broad transmission tunnel consuming much of the floor space, forcing the middle passenger to splay his legs and have his feet share the front seatback cutouts with the outboard passengers." - Car & Driver
*"The V6 model does not feel as lively as the V8 and, oddly, the optional AWD is only available with the V6. Larger drivers may find the front seat area a bit on the snug side." - Kelley Blue Book
*"This car has lots of style, but it's generic style." - Automobile
*"Like its G35 sibling, there's some trailing-throttle oversteer to be had in tight turns, but just as in that car, the slide is easy to catch." - Car & Driver

==Previous Generations==
===Third Generation (2006-2010)===
[[Image:Carscoop 08 M45X 1.jpg|right|thumb|450px|'''The 2008 [[Infiniti]] M45x''']]
Infiniti released a completely redesigned M for the 2006 model year to compete directly in the mid-size sport luxury class, against such class stalwarts as the [[BMW 5 Series]] and the [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class]]. It uses a much more rigid version of the G35/350Z/FX Nissan FM platform and is available with the common VQ-series 280 [[hp]] (208 kW) 3.5 L [[V6]] in the '''M35''', or the [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]]'s 335 [[hp]] (249 kW) 4.5 L [[V8]] in the '''M45'''.

The automotive press has awarded the M several best-in-class awards in direct comparisons against its competitors. Despite entering a very crowded, competitive segment in which almost every member has been recently redesigned, the M still managed to find many key distinctions: Both the M35 and M45 are fastest in their class (0-60 in 6.3 and 5.4 seconds, respectively). The M is near or at the top of every interior dimension, actually breaking into the EPA "large" category depending on which option packages are selected. In fact, while being smaller on the outside than the flagship Q45, the M45 boasts more room, greater performance, a superior [[multilink suspension|multilink front suspension]], and much friendlier ergonomics, threatening the position of the flagship Q45.

[[All wheel drive]] models are called the '''M35x''', which uses a sports car derived system ([[ATTESA-ETS]]) to send all power to the rear wheels until slip is detected. Why would anyone not want the all wheel drive model?

The M line was released in February 2005 (at almost exactly the same time as the new 2006 [[Lexus GS]]) and its first several months of sales have been far beyond expectations. Prices in the US (USD) range from the low 40s to the mid-50s, which, feature for feature, tend towards the lowest in class.

===Second generation (2003-2005)===
[[Image:M45.JPG|thumb|right|325px|thumb|2003 Infiniti M45]]
The 2002 M45 was based on the Y34-series [[Nissan Gloria]]/[[Nissan Cedric]], with styling similar to the Gloria. The engine is Nissan's 340 [[HP|hp]] [[Nissan VK engine#VK45DE|VK45DE]] [[V8]] which produces 333 ft.lbf of [[torque]]. The rather Japanese squared-off styling did not make much of a splash on the US market, and the M45 sold poorly.

===First Generation/Origins (1990)===
The original [[1990]] '''[[Infiniti M30|M30]]''' was the mundane middle offering of Nissan's Infiniti brand. It featured a 162 [[HP|hp]] 3.0 L [[V6]] shared, along with its [[rear wheel drive]] [[automobile platform|platform]], with the 1987 Japanese [[Nissan Leopard]]. A convertible was added for 1991, and the M30 was replaced after 1992 by the more interesting [[Infiniti J30]].

==Worldwide==
The first generation M is essentially a re-bodied JDM [[Nissan Cedric]]/[[Nissan Gloria|Gloria]] while the second generation Ms share their bodywork with the JDM [[Nissan Fuga]].

{{List Of Infiniti Models}}

'''Infiniti''' is [[Nissan]]'s luxury brand in the United States, Canadian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, South Korean (first dealership opened in July 2005) and Taiwanese markets. [[Nissan]] also has plans to release Infiniti into many European markets (Russia & Ukraine in 2007, United Kingdom in 2008), China (10 dealerships by 2007), as well as in Japan sometime after 2008.

Infiniti vehicles are traditionally based on the same automobile platforms as [[Nissan]] models. In some cases, similar vehicles are sold as upscale [[Nissan]]s in the same market, while other Infinitis are rebadged models from the Japanese market, where [[Nissan]]'s model range includes high-end luxury vehicles. More recently, the differentiation between [[Nissan]] and Infiniti vehicles has become greater, and even where two models may share a similar platform, Infinitis tend to feature more powerful [[engine]]s, tuned [[suspension]]s, [[steering systems]], and more luxurious interior appointments.

Infiniti's model name designation includes one letter for [[coupés]] and [[sedans]] (two letters for [[SUV]]s) and a number reflecting [[engine]] displacement. For example, the [[Infiniti QX56|QX56]] is an [[SUV]] featuring a 5.6 L engine and the [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]] is Infiniti's flagship sedan, featuring a 4.5 L engine. The one exception to this was the [[Infiniti QX4|QX4 SUV]], which featured a 3.3 L engine (1997-2000) and later a 3.5 L engine (2001-2003). An 'x' following the engine displacement of Infiniti sedans denotes an [[Four Wheel Drive|all wheel drive]] model (e.g. [[Infiniti G35|Infiniti G35x]]).

===History===

Infiniti was introduced in the United States by [[Nissan]] in 1989, to rival [[Toyota]] and [[Honda]]'s introduction of their own luxury brands, [[Lexus]] and [[Acura]], respectively. A series of Zen-inspired advertisements, which became known as the "rocks and trees" campaign, aimed to bring about brand awareness. The advertisements, however, neglected to feature any of Infiniti's models, and thus failed to generate adequate sales. Better advertising and the introduction of award-winning models eventually made Infiniti a chief contender in the luxury vehicle segment of the American market. Since 1989, sales have consistently grown.

Infiniti began to take part of the luxury market mostly thanks to its popular [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]]. The vehicle included a class leading (at the time) 278 [[hp]] (207 kW)[[V8]] [[engine]], [[four-wheel steering]], the first [[active suspension]] system offered on a motor vehicle, and numerous interior luxury appointments. These made it competitive against the comparatively uninspiring engines and interiors found in German imports like [[BMW]] and [[Mercedes-Benz]], which by the time of Infiniti's release had overtaken [[Cadillac]] and [[Lincoln]] in dominating the luxury segment of the American market.

In 1997, Infiniti released the [[Infiniti QX4|QX4]], a modified and more luxurious version of the [[Nissan Pathfinder]], making Infiniti the first maker (apart from [[SUV]] specialists, [[Jeep]] and [[Land Rover]]) to offer a mid-sized luxury [[SUV]] - predating the release of the [[Lexus RX 300]] and the [[Mercedes-Benz ML320]]. Like a traditional [[SUV]], it was based on a truck platform, which gave it a competitive edge against the aforementioned competitors for its off-roading abilities.

By the late 1990s, however, Infiniti was consistently behind [[Lexus]] and even near-luxury rival [[Acura]], in sales due to [[Nissan]]'s struggling financial situation. The [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]] had retreated considerably from its focused, taut rendition of an executive sedan, having become a barely recognizable, ponderously-handling sedan that earned the nickname "The Japanese Lincoln." In 1999, Infiniti reintroduced the [[Infiniti G20|G20]], a compact sporty sedan that was sold between 1991 and 1995. The car had hopes of challenging [[BMW]], but with an underpowered four cylinder [[engine]], fell short. Infiniti's other offerings, the [[Nissan Maxima|Maxima]]-based [[Infiniti I30|I30]] and the strange-looking [[Infiniti J30|J30]] never garnered strong followings, and the company, bereft of an image or a following, floundered.

By the early 2000s, Infiniti was facing extinction. Its own impending doom being perhaps the best motivator, the company rededicated itself to developing a dynamic and powerful line-up of sporty luxury cars. Car and Driver reported that Infiniti executives invited members of the motoring press to a meeting where they "swore never again to take their eyes off [[BMW]]." Although this effort began with a completely redesigned [[Infiniti Q45|Q45]] flagship for the 2002 model year, it was the [[Infiniti G35|G35]] that finally turned sales around for Infiniti in 2003. A compact sports sedan far exceeding the capabilities of its [[Nissan Primera]]-based predecessor (the [[Infiniti G20|G20]]), the [[Nissan Skyline]]-based [[Infiniti G35|G35]] became an instant hit. The release of the sport tuned [[Infiniti FX45|FX45]] [[sport utility vehicle]] piggybacked on the [[Infiniti G35|G35]]'s success. The [[Infiniti FX45|FX45]] combined sports-car handling and performance with station wagon-like versatility and all-weather capability. In 2004, Infiniti graced the [[Infiniti G35|G35]] with an [[all-wheel drive]] ([[AWD]]) option in an effort to sway buyers from [[all-wheel drive]] mecca [[Audi]].

Today, Infiniti's sales and reputation continue to increase impressively as Carlos Ghosn follows through on his vision to break Infiniti away from its [[Nissan]] roots. The [[Infiniti G35|G35]] series helped re-define Infiniti as the "Japanese BMW", an image it continues to cultivate. This reputation has been enhanced by the [[Infiniti FX35|FX35]]/[[Infiniti FX45|FX45]] [[SUV]], and the redesigned [[Infiniti M35|M35]]/[[Infiniti M45|M45]] for the 2006 model year. The [[Infiniti M35|M35]]/[[Infiniti M45|M45]] has already garnered impressive acclaim from the automotive press, winning an eight-car comparison test in Car and Driver, and has proven very popular in its first few months of sales.
