    Rumorpile: Infiniti Trademarks Some Names, Possible New Models?

    Car & Driver has uncovered some new trademarks from Infiniti. The trademarks possibly deal with new powertrains for the G compact luxury car.

    First is G35h. Car & Driver believes this could be a hybrid model after having a conversation with Ben Poore, Infiniti’s U.S. boss. They asked Poore if the M35h's powertrain setup could make its way to other models.

    Poore said one could “imagine what that powertrain would be like in a smaller car,” adding that the electrically assisted 3.5-liter V-6 would make for a very quick G.

    Trademark #2 is the G30t. Before, the t in Infiniti nomenclature stood for touring. Now, it could possibly mean a turbo engine joining. Where it possibly lands in the lineup is the question.

    The final trademark is the G22d. The d as you might guess is for diesel. Currently, Infiniti sells a diesel M, FX, and EX in Europe. A diesel G would be a perfect addition. Also, a diesel could make its way into the states. The 22 could mean a 2.2L engine, possibly four-cylinder.

    This would definitly put pressure on the other luxury makers to bring in diesels especially if they have a nice high MPG. :P

    Just think of the SRX with the 2.8l Duramax in it. That would be a kiler ride.

    • https://canadianautodealer.ca/2025/01/montreal-auto-show-is-back-with-lots-to-dazzle-the-eyes-and-hearts-of-consumers/   I went to the Montreal auto show.  And our show was a success. 163 000 attendees. That web site I linked up rounds up to 170 000.  It was a 14% increase over 2023 but last year's attendance was higher at 168 000.  And at 168 000, that is highest since 2019.  So our auto show is quite neutral. Neither up or down.  Just stable. 
    • Seems there is NO GOING BACK to the Glory Days of Old for Auto Shows as Detroit was a Failure. Detroit Auto Show Attendance Plummets As Glory Days Fade MAGA is going to find as their retires die off that the Glory days are not there and that MAGA was never gone as America is Great, much Like Canada or any country. The past days are water under the bridge and there is no going back.  Dictators will have to be dealt with as we fight to save our Democracy! FORD CEO Farly needs to put on his Big Boy Pants and focus on building Quality products rather than complain about Korea or Japan Auto's. Ford is building crap auto's and their EVs are falling behind. It really is pathetic what he says here. Ford CEO has tough words for his automotive rivals
    • Seems this has fallen apart after Nissan has refused to go deep enough in cuts to right their sinking ship. Could we be seeing the first Legacy Auto Company to Die? Nissan Looking for New Partner as Honda Deal Set to Collapse
    • It was a double whammy this past week with American style capitalism over Canada.   As I mentioned before, Amazon has closed all of its warehouses in Quebec because one warehouse DARE unionize and for the fear of further unionizations, well, they got outta Dodge... So, the city of Montreal in turn has ceased to buy the shytty made in China crap Amazon peddles.  Montreal will buy locally and by the threat of American tariffs on Canadian products, Montreal will also buy products made in Canada or elsewhere in the world NOT named United States of America. https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/the-city-of-montreal-announces-it-will-stop-ordering-from-amazon/
