Almost 2 Weeks When Infiniti Launches Here

[YASIDI]

Interesting.. they seem to think the M sedan is a 'mid-sized sedan', yet compare it to the BMW 5 series, which is hardly 'mid sized'. I would classify the G sedan as 'mid sized', but the M as 'large'

Agreed !!......

For a mod sized sedan, it's starting to get a little exxy however if they were to market it as a large sedan it would be damn cheap (comparatively speaking). I think to retain to classiness and exclusivity they are marketing it as a high value mid sized car.

'M' sedan is based off the FUGA, which is the Top of the Line sedan in the Nissan line-up, even for a second hand 2010 model you are looking upwards of 60K.

The Infiniti 'M' IS a Nissan Fuga.. just rebadged as an Infiniti.

I didn't stutter!

[sonicii]

Sorry, wasn't trying to insult, just wanted to point out it isn't just 'based off', it 'is'. like some people say the Murano is 'based off' the Maxima, because it shares the same FF-L platform. Where as the Fuga and Infiniti M are the same car overall.

They are here... shot it today at Yatala BP.

[Haxorz]

Now... hopefully I can get the Australian Navi spare part and fit it to my 370GT SP

[The Max]

A tempting (and wishful) thought. Let's see how that goes as it might be just what the doctor ordered.

Infiniti has been launched here now.

Late 2012 =(

Anyone here going to rebadge?

[t5iv]

Already in the process of rebadging. Acquiring parts as I come across them.

[sonicii]

No 6MT option I see.. typical

To what end?

You already have something that wasn't released over here.

Seeking engine cover, steering wheel - I'm keeping mine pretty standard.

I mean, why would you bother? It won't increase the value of your car

NISSAN badge rules for me

When I got my V36 in a few months ago, the first thing I did was change the grille badge to an Infiniti without any consideration of what Nissan Australia had in store for us and definitely not thinking the crazy notion that it would add value to the vehicle. Anyone who thinks that simply rebadging their vehicle will add value is fooling himself.

The vehicle was already debadged when I bought it but had it still had the Nissan badges on the rear, I would have simply removed them as I much like the clean look of the rear.

OEM Infiniti door sill kick panels going in next and once they become available here, steering wheels and genuine Infiniti floor mats. Might be a bit of a wanky thing to do but it's purely an aesthetic thing for some of us. Of those, some people do it to show it off whereas I do it for me to admire my own vehicle. Each to their own I guess.

[Alkatraz]

Lol. In the US Infiniti G37 owners rebadge their cars as Nissan's. I dont really get why anyone would want to change the badges on their cars but each to their own i guess.

[The Max]

For me, I've just always liked the Infiniti arrow logo more than the Nissan hamburger logo. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Nissan man (well, after Chrysler - Challenger is my poison) but it's purely the look of the logo.

I guess it could be compared to the wankery of those with VE Commodores who whack Chevy badges on them but it's not like Chevy is a prestige brand. At least Infiniti has that going for them.

[t5iv]

It's just that when it says Skyline, it seems more 'common.' When it's badged as Infiniti, it adds an allure of something different. Not expecting it to add value, but it would make marketing a tad easier.
