Yeah pretty much. I think Opel is also coming down under soon.

Serious? My gawd....we have enough GMs....LOL!

We have a few infinities here already. The so called gt350/370 skylines (grey imports) are more or less what some of the infinity cars are in the states

The more the better I say - competition is always good for consumers

When the Opel Astra GTC gets here it will no doubt start a pricing war with RS250 and GTI .

I was digging around the Japanese toyota 86 website and was building a car, I love what they did to the website, you can build your own 86 to suit your budget, i did it to get a quote on the Jap price i would spend (i know it's different here, but just curious). As I was going through the list and picking what I wanted in the 86, What on earth is a ETC/DSRC?

ETC is their toll paying device.

The 1.4 is actually not a bad car and very good value.

Certainly leaves any Corolla or Camry for dead.

Yeah man, but as far as I am aware there are no equivalent models here between Nissan and Infinity.
What I mean is how the ES300 was the same as camry but with a different gearbox, thicker carpet and nicer paint.
I don't think any of the Infinity models will be available as a lower spec thorugh Nissan.
There are 3 initial models. A coupe and convertible based on the Skyline, a rwd sedan and a mid-large sized SUV.
Our company will be opening an Infiniti dealership

Well it's like this:

"Hi H. Since you were kind enough to offer to answer some questions for 86 fans, here theyare: (add about 70 questions). Look forward to hearing back from you H."

The above was sent about a week before training commenced. Now, while I won't reveal my source "H from TMCA" I can tell you he is no junior flunky.

Yet to hear anything back unfortunately. More than likely he's flat out setting up launch day.

[Staticfrost]

Sweet, if it isn't a noob means we will get some pretty solid answers Can't wait!

[Nardi330]

Thanks Psoo2010.

So is floor mats standard? What accessories are available at launch next Monday?

Is metallic paint an extra $400?

Thanks

Nah, the black looks metallic to me. I guess its only the red. Shame because the metallic and pearl bring out the lines in the car
