Infiniti (&SUV) Coming to the UK in 2008

I've always liked the FX series. A funky Murano.

Inifiniti is what Lexus is to Toyota.



I think the FX will eat some RRS sales. 2022 P440e AB

Oy, ugly!! Shocked

I doubt the RRS has to worry too much in the short term.... Infiniti has a brand to develop in the UK first. Early adopters often get burnt Confused Again, this harps back to the old "what do you want from your car" argument.

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Bonatti Grey

The front end in the photo at the top looks like the new Rav4.


The side profile looks similar to the new Hyunsai Sante Fe

see...


I doubt if it will steal sales away from Land Rover, but it will from Lexus. The RX is looking very old style now. Matt

Russia 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Actually this is an old model (I think 2002 or 2003), so Santa Fe and Rav4 came later.
They sell it here for 3 years now. Looks very intersting in flesh... no, really interesting i must say.
I was even thinking of getting one. Did few test-drives.
FX45 (V8 330bhp 6.3 0-60mph) is 92k$ in full option, RRS S/C (400bhp and 7.2 0-60mph) is 120k$ in full option.
More then that, infiniti has much more electronic toys on board, it has much more better handling (feels like a sportscar actually). And the exhaust sound is great. This car has it's point for sure. By the way, it is based on legendary Nissan Skyline R34, that's why it feels like a sportcar, not like a suv.
Nice choice for its money IMHO. 2014 Mercedes-Benz S500
2014 Range Rover Autobiography, Causeway Gray, Ivory/Ebony
2013 BMW 530d
2008 Range Rover Supercharged Vogue S\E, Java Black, Ebony. SOLD
2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Java Black, Ebony. Arden body-kit. SOLD
2005 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 Buckingam blue, Ivory. - SOLD.
