A Brief History of Infiniti
In 1985, an elite group formed quietly within Nissan to build a new division of performance luxury vehicles. The Infiniti brand was introduced to the United States in 1989 to target the premium vehicle segment that would not have otherwise fit in with Nissan's more mainstream image. Infiniti launched with 51 dealerships in the United States, with the spacious yet powerful Q45 sedan and the M30 coupe. In 1995, the VQ engine was introduced, designed for optimal power, torque and fuel consumption. The VQ engine ranked as the Top 10 Best Engines for the next 14 years. The Infiniti logo is a badge designed depicting two central lines stretching into the horizon.
Eventually, Infiniti got a hold of their advertising strategies and sales began to pick up. In 1996, Infiniti released the QX4, becoming one of the first luxury car manufacturers to offer a mid-size premium SUV. In 2001, Infiniti introduced backup cameras to their vehicles and had voice recognition in their cars as early as 2002. The Infiniti G35 won Motor Trend Car of the Year in 2003 and was in Car and Driver's Top Ten Best Cars list. By November 2003, Infiniti was the fastest growing luxury brand in the United States. In 2004, Infiniti was the first car make to have lane departure warnings installed and debuted the first Around View Monitor in 2007. If you live in Westlake Village, CA, Agoura Hills, CA, Calabasas, CA, Thousand Oaks, CA, Malibu, CA, or nearby, you have probably seen many Infiniti vehicles on the road. We at Westlake Independent Automotive in Los Angeles County bordering Ventura County can take care of your Infiniti, bumper to bumper.
