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.

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

Interesting because even Scion in the US included the floor mats as a standard feature, which is really out of character for them as they charge for them on all other models.

This is just TMCA's way of recouping the money after pricing it so low.

Seems like we will be getting charged for mats and metallic paint when they came standard in the US. Also being charged $2500 for auto when it's $1000 in most countries (US/NZ). Still can't complain though - since it still came in under by budget.

Indeed he does, my friend.

By the way guys, Psoo2010 is referring to my boss, Steve Vo, the Sales Manager of Warren Toyota.

We can always complain just whether or not it will do anything is the main question...

There is already talk that the price will go up before next year... there for it wont be them recouping cost. Is this a true thing is the price going up in 3 - 6 months?
