    Infiniti Planning Five New Models by 2022

      ...prepare to be electrified... 

    Infiniti is planning on launching five new models over the next 3 years. The first will be the QX55 that we reported on the other day.  It is a crossover coupe version of their QX50 crossover and is expected to be powered by the same 2.0-liter variable compression engine.

    Next up is the redesigned QX60. Expect it to look much more SUV like than that of a crossover. Infiniti says the styling will be dramatically different than the QX60 on the lots today. They mention that the gas powered model will have a large grille, which implies there will be an electrified model coming as well.  They are also planning on offering two 12.3-inch touch screens and a two-tone roof.  The QX60 is Infiniti's best selling vehicle.

    After that, Infiniti will be launching three electrified vehicles, a crossover and two sedans.  The vehicle will be offered as fully electric or with serial hybrid technology which is similar to that in the Chevy Volt where a gasoline engine recharges the batteries which power the car. Styling is expected to take after the Q-Inspiration concept shown at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show.  The three vehicles are following a "three vehicles, one platform" concept and will all be related.

    LONG overdue. Definitely see some major Cadillac Escala design cues in front end and hood and the new CT cars design cues with front end and hood, as well as some Jaguar F Type in front and down the side.

    Are we sure Johan D. didn't really go back to Infiniti? ?

    QX50 was last year.

    QX30 was two years before that. 

    That’s not much, especially when one is a rebodied GLA they were given in exchange for the X-class.   Mercedes put out an all new E-class with 4 body styles, G-wagon, GLE, GLS, A-class, CLA, refreshed S-class, refreshed C-class, refreshed GLC since 2017.

    Oh stop. Every company goes through these types of cycles. Seemingly nothing for a few years and then BAM! Ten new models in two years.

    Not successful companies, successful ones stay on schedule.

    Not everyone has Benz money

    Nissan-Renault is the 3rd biggest car company in the world.  They should have money unless Carlos Ghosn took it all.

    • Not me.  I have a decent kitty in my GM Card and I can't think of anything I'd buy from them.  I feel both ripped off and heartbroken. I had a little Nissan Versa sedan at the beginning of September.  A school friend put me up in NYC prior to sailing out so I bought all the meals and drove her around in a $50 a day Versa rented at La Guardia.  Bear Mtn. and Westchester County one day.  Long Island and Queens the next.  Zipped around NYC with ease, including parking it, it sipped fuel, it has good sight lines, and it's so damn logical - dash, trunk, etc.  I'd baby the CVT with frequent fluid changes and thought, 'I could do this.'
    • "Buy GM. Buy Ford. Buy American."-Too many posters to name here   Meanwhile Ford has more recalls than they have cars and GM just took an official dump on a movement they claimed to champion not two years ago. Mary Barra is a joke in clown shoes at this point.    https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/general-motors-ev-mary-barra-8e5c1eb2?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAhF6A9fNywRoIX_MNcLPRCtSOdFj4HwcE8_WlElZBJ1pdU8hsDLD6nhgAvgzg%3D%3D&gaa_ts=68dbe9bd&gaa_sig=ESFzN-IxI4kLseymfl32-3LMqYdNbzCvyVKK_XAKt8tvYDTejyMjkmxIzUZ_gtSb_QhvY9k5VhkRbN_uVUchmA%3D%3D
    • Here is a Pan Am 747 wearing its last livery. This is at Rio de Janeiro. I like that the last liveries for both Pan Am and TWA got rid of the stripe/ribbon along the windows.  It looked cleaner and more modern.
    • I could see NASCAR going that way...I can imagine the next generation of 'stock cars' being  Traverse, Explorer, and Highlander themed...or larger with Tahoe, Expedition and Sequoia...or smaller and sleeker-- Equinox, Mach-E, and Rav4..
