New Infiniti G35 to Debut at New York Auto Show
By Christie Schweinsberg WardsAuto.com, Nov 7 2005 The midsize luxury car has been a brand-defining product for the Infiniti range in the U.S. Nissan North America Inc.'s Infiniti luxury brand will debut the next-generation G35 lineup at the New York Auto Show in April. Jed Connelly, senior vice president-sales and marketing, NNA, tells Ward's the '07 midsize luxury sedan and coupe will take the vehicle “to the next level. We're thrilled with it,” he says. Current Infiniti G35 The midsize luxury car has been a brand-defining product for the Infiniti range in the U.S. Following its March 2002 debut, Infiniti sales went from 52,630 units in 2001 to 70,973 in 2002, with the G35 accounting for 34,775 vehicles. Sales of the G35 stand at 57,521 units through October, down 2.1% from the same period year-ago, according to Ward's data. Despite debuting just three and half years ago, the G35 has aged fast as restyled entrants, such as the Lexus GS and BMW 5-Series, have stolen some of its market share. “It's nice that in three short years other people have seen us as the target (competition),” Connelly says. He declines to describe specific changes to the G35's new styling, but says, “We understand what we have is a really good thing, and we're going to be careful with it,” indicating the '07 G35's looks won't be too radical a departure from the '03 model.
