Nissan GT-R Powered Infiniti Flagship is Officially Dead

It will be back when the sun will rise again.

And as a result of the reference to the 5 Series competitor, the claws come out to say that Japanese cars have no right to be compared to the German marques. I'm clearly a BMW fan, but if Audi can be seen as a competitor to Benz and Bimmers, so can Infiniti.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the M series of the Infiniti a direct competitor to the BMW 5 series? So if they are planning a direct head-on with a new mid-size luxury that will compete with the 5 series....then what would happen to the M35/M45?

They re coming out with a new generation for the M. Remember how the M crushed the competition!

I thought the essence had the 370z (3.7l v6) engine with a hybrid electric engine??

I dont buy it. Thats a hot car. When the recession alleviates, this car will resurface. It looks and seems too good.

another victim from finacial crisis... RIP :'(

the car is not dead , Mr. Jackson...it is merely SHELVED in the face of the lethargic economy . much like Porsche deferred the production of the Panamera some years back under similar circumstances . one thing is certain though , the Nissan Infinity flagship sedan looks INFINITELY better than Porsche's HUMPBACK WHALE of a glamourized station wagon car - the Panamera that is .The Infinity matching the Panamera pound for pound in the areas of performance , build-quality , and styling especially in the interior design and fitment department where it doesen't have to take inspiration from a mobile phone to make a statement in elegance . 'makes one wonder at why nobody at the Porsche camp came forward all this time to claim authorship of their fat-assed Big Bertha who underwent a Corvette facial transplant .

HALLELUJAH !

OFFICIALLY DEAD (FOR NOW). This is, after all, a car firm from the Land of the Rising Sun! Euro hyperformance saloon rivals are in for a Group Test of Death!
