Re: 2011 Infiniti renderings

I don't think they do...




...not that I believe French designers have much to do with them.

Anyway, very nice design, almost like a Quattroporte. Much better than those 4-door Porsches and Astons we've been seeing.

Maybe slightly in the front quarter/hood area, but it's very Audi on the rear quarter and especially the facia.

I'm thinking Quattroporte but I dunno? It's ugly though. They can keep it.

Re: 2011 Infiniti renderings

I think the design is nice for today. But for 4 years from now? It's dated.

Re: 2011 Infiniti renderings

If that is what Infiniti is selling 4 years from now, I can only conclude that the CTS has sent the Japanese into panic mode (just look at the new Acuras), and they don't know what to do.

Many of the new Acuras and Acura concepts were designed at a new studio in the U.S. The head designer of that studio is an American educated here.

I think it's the case of the new Acura design team having no idea what the hell they are doing, not because of CTS Code-Red Panic Mode.

The old Acura/Honda design teams were much better.
