From its peak in the mid-2000s, Infiniti has seemingly faded to near irrelevance. The brand was once considered a leader in design, and one of the few companies that could go toe-to-toe with BMW when it came to offering both luxury and fun driving. Today, most of its lineup consists of warmed-over SUVs from Nissan – and it doesn’t even have as many as it used to. So, the company has a long way to go to turn itself around. But it has exciting products planned, such as a manual-equipped sport sedan and body-on-frame SUVs — but they’re years away. In the meantime, the brand is taking smaller steps. The Infiniti QX80 was fully redesigned recently and is selling well, and the brand also launched the QX65, a sleek, fastback version of its top-selling QX60 SUV.
