I'm pretty sure they're made by Nissan. The posh branch. Sort of the same way that Lexus is Toyota's posh mark. That's a good thing too if you want something really reliable. Especially these days as the Germans are losing the plot with quality.

Nissan and Renault share loads of engines / engine tech so not really.

reminds me of the old Lexus IS saloon. Not for me I'm afraid, better alternatives, a bit smaller but golf R
The Lexus IS on the other hand was the most reliable for the same Consumer Reports survey.

Had a quick look on Autotrader to see what residuals are like (not many to choose from) and found the following:
Infiniti Dealership (so top end sticker price for a trader)
2014 model with just 16k miles and it retailing for £19k.
Assuming you had to p/x or sell privately for £17k and the cash price new for this vehicle is £31k then that's £14k loss in just over a year.
Probably more to do with the fact that not many people know about these cars hence not much demand for them.
Otherwise car seems alright for looks and kit.

You will get a massive chunk off the RRP so you wouldn't lose that much, would still probably be in five figures tho.

Red Bull have these as sponsors on the back of the cars. Seems ironic how Red Bull Renault are sponsored by Nissan. :smiley:
Very good cars by the way (Infinity), I would love one myself.

Opening post
I believe it's an established American brand and this particular model is trying to compete with 3 series and C Class here in UK.
Personally it looks like a cross between a Mazda 6 and Lexus IS
Although this deal is for flat paint (appears to be £100 option for metallic) it seems a very well equipped car with plenty of gadgets/features
Engine is decent emitting 114g/km and claiming 65mpg urban yet 0-60secs in 8.7 secs. It's the manual model and it's RWD.
The deal is 2 years personal contract hire, no maintenance and low deposit, for 10k miles/year. You can vary deposit and miles to suit.
Non refundable deposit £798 (3 months equivalent)
£180 admin fee
23 monthly payments of £266
More details on the car here
