Infiniti bringing new entry-level car concept to Geneva

Infiniti is on track to have a new entry-level model that slots below the G, and the automaker has announced that it's bringing a concept that previews this new small(er) car to the Geneva Motor Show next month. With vehicles like the Audi A1 and A3, BMW 1 Series, Lexus CT and the Mercedes-Benz A- and B-Class on the market, Infiniti would likely do well to have a contender in the small luxury car segment.

The only information we have as of this writing is the official teaser sketch you see here, previewing what could possibly be a hatchback rather than a traditional sedan or coupe. Infiniti says that the new entry-level car will be "completely different to anything currently offered by our rivals." We've heard that line before, but nonetheless, we'll see what the Japanese automaker has up its sleeve in just a few weeks. Hit the jump for Infiniti's very brief press release.

INFINITI TRAVELS A NEW ROAD TO GENEVA

"Infiniti is currently examining concepts for a luxury performance car that will fit below the current G Line. Like every Infiniti, it will be completely different to anything currently offered by our rivals." So said Andy Palmer, Senior Vice President for Infiniti, at the opening of the Infiniti Centre Piccadilly in London during September 2010.

Fast forward to the 81st Geneva International Motor Show where at 12:15 CET on March 1, 2011, Infiniti will present its next Inspired Performance: a concept car that will take the Japanese performance brand down a new road, to a new future.
