In conceiving them, designers set out to develop an entirely new series of vehicles which Nissan Canada spokesman Max Wickens describes as ‘‘distinctly different from European fuxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW. and Jaguar."

Infiniti cars will be sold and ser- viced only by chosen dealers, and then only by specially trained per- sonnel,

“Owners will find they have in-

vested in far more than a fine car,"’ says Wickens, ‘‘because they’! also enjoy a unique new car ownership experience — one in which dealer staff will pamper car and customer alike.”’

Initially, three Infiniti models will be offered: A high-perfor- mance five-seat sedan, a two-door five-seat sperts coupe and a con- vertible version of the coupe.

A four-door, four-seat sports sedan will be added later.
