Nissan/Infiniti will possibly develop a small Audi A3 sized sedan EXCLUSIVELY for Europe.<br><br>  As a former owner of a G20, and yes, I know they didn't exactly set the auto world on fire in the '90s, I would be seriously interested in a small premium sedan with the tight build quality of the G20.  Build a car that costs LESS than the BMW 1 series, or the 3, and DON'T market it exclusively to women....as they did in the late '90s and it will sell.  Maybe not like the current G sedans and coupes, but hey, the market is returning to smaller cars as gas stays at or near $3.00/gallon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stang_fan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 1:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti to subsidize European dealerships]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice supporting graphic.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leaf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 1:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti to subsidize European dealerships]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sweet photoshop FTW]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MJL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 1:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti to subsidize European dealerships]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Althought we dont have Infiniti dealerships in Romania, there are plenty of importers who sell them like crazy<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew Tanasescu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 1:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti to subsidize European dealerships]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gee, an Asian auto maker subsidizing the sale of products in a foreign land?

The G would be a very large car for Europe, some sort of smaller vehicle would be nice and HOPEFULLY the appeal of more practically-sized efficient cars will continue to grow in the US to the point that it would make economic sense for them to eventually bring it here.<br><br>A good torquey turbodiesel would slot in well against competitors in the European market, as long as the current fuel tax system is in place there.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DKB_SATX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 2:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infiniti to subsidize European dealerships]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/infiniti-to-subsidize-european-dealerships/</guid><description><![CDATA[the next wannabe luxury brand victim on the Europen market..
