INFINITI ARRIVES IN MALAYSIA

To most Malaysians, Infiniti is a name that would be associated with that brand of fuel which has an extra dosage of additives and some might even think of a well-known brand of audio equipment (though that’s spelt ‘Infinity’). However, there is a brand called Infiniti which has been around since 1989 and its products are luxury cars. Car enthusiasts would know the brand, of course, and they would also know that it is to Nissan what Lexus is to Toyota.

It’s hard to say if Infiniti was not created for the US market because that’s where it first appeared (almost at the same time as Lexus) and has been highly respected for its sporty products. In fact, one could draw the parallel when comparing Lexus and Infiniti with Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

By 2013, another 25 more markets will get the brand.
