That way, Infiniti will get some money in service and the consumer will get their money's worth in service.

I think i read in road and track. Also, the next supercar from totyota is expected to wear a lexus badge. <br><br>BMW has M mercedes has AMG, and a GREAT exaple is the ACURA NSX, not HONDA in the US. Luxury brands need not be void of performance products. The GTR would have been good for nissan and for the people that buy it. Infiniti isnt recognised as a budget brand. Nissan may not be either, but its closer to is. And this is a hefty price for a nissan especially in the US.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Driver]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2006 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti dealers infuriated over losing GT-R]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</guid><description><![CDATA[This car will already have a somewhat big sticker price... did we really need the extra 5K for the infinity nose badge?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kowell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2006 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti dealers infuriated over losing GT-R]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</guid><description><![CDATA[if they did sell it as infinti over here, I'm sure a lot of owners will rebadge it as nissan]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2006 4:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti dealers infuriated over losing GT-R]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</guid><description><![CDATA["We thought that Ghosn would abide by the regional needs, but that didn't happen," Lennon says."<br><br>If I were over the dealer network for Cadillac and somebody expressed disappointment in AutoWeek and referred to the CEO as "Wagoner" in the process he'd be picking his toupee up off the floor and looking for a job in a matter of seconds.<br><br>Both actions are inexcuseable and Jed Connelly can't be at all happy about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bernie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2006 4:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti dealers infuriated over losing GT-R]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</guid><description><![CDATA[For what it's worth, there is a (sort of) Cadillac Corvette - the XLR. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2006 4:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti dealers infuriated over losing GT-R]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/19/infiniti-dealers-infuriated-over-losing-gt-r/</guid><description><![CDATA[i think this is critical for the GT-R.
