Infiniti launches car concierge service in the US

At one stage, Infiniti had more models than dealers, such was the speed of its model roll-out in the UK market.

Having established a more extensive network to handle its model range, which now extends to a choice of seven, its attention is now on responding to consumers who want to consider performance and the planet at the same time.

As a result, the line-up includes the core high-performance petrol models, but there is also the option of hybrid technology and even high-performance diesels.

Infiniti is launching a new global six-year growth plan three years after launching in Europe which will see the brand aim to take 10% of the global luxury market by 2016.

This will include a new compact car in 2014 and a two-seater sports car.

Cars are marketed through the fleet sales team of parent manufacturer Nissan as part of a strategy to achieve 20,000 sales by 2016.

The dealer network now numbers six. Mana Premier Automobiles runs four of them. Infiniti is aiming for 30 in total in the long-term.
