Infiniti Announces 1997.5 J30 Personal Luxury Sedan Pricing


CARSON, Calif., Nov. 18 -- Infiniti, the luxury division
of Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A., today announced the release of its
1997.5 J30 personal luxury sedan available now at Infiniti retailers
nationwide. In keeping with its recently announced "consumer-based
pricing" philosophy, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
of the new model is $33,500, a reduction of $2,250 from the previous
model.

"Last June, we lowered the MSRPs on a number of our Infiniti luxury
vehicles in order to bring them in closer alignment with what
consumers are likely to pay," said Tom Eastwood, vice president,
Infiniti Division. "As we've already seen, this reduces consumer
anxiety over the price negotiation process and makes the Infiniti
buying experience even more pleasurable."

Revisions to the popular J30 sedan for the 1997.5 model year include
an improved 6-speaker, 200-watt Bose(R) audio system. The new system
includes dual FM bands that provide 12 FM preset stations, as well as
a new volume control knob and larger buttons for greater convenience.
Also changed for the 1997.5 model is a new Pewter exterior color,
which replaces the previous Beige Pebble.

The MSRP of remaining 1997 J30 models in retailer inventory will be
reduced to match that of the new model.

The 1997.5 J30 remains one of the most innovative and eye-catching
designs on the road. Conceptualized at Nissan Design International in
La Jolla, California, J30 provides coupe-like styling with the
practicality of a four- door sedan.

Every J30 is powered by an advanced DOHC 24-valve 3.0-liter engine,
mated to a standard, sophisticated four-speed automatic transmission.

The 1997.5 J30's interior comes completely equipped with luxury
amenities ranging from leather-appointed seats to automatic
temperature control and standard power sunroof. Like all Infiniti
models, the J30 is equipped with dual air bags.

For those who prefer an extra touch of sportiness, the J30t adds
forged aluminum-alloy wheels, recalibrated springs and stabilizer
bars, a rear deck lid spoiler and special J30t badging. The 1997.5
J30t has a MSRP of $35,500.

Beginning with the relaxed, pleasurable atmosphere found at a network
of more than 145 Infiniti retailers and extending to Infiniti's
industry-leading warranty and ownership programs, the Total Ownership
Experience(R) includes a new 30-day price assurance policy, free
48-month, 24-hour roadside assistance program, a free Infiniti loan
vehicle with scheduled service/warranty appointments and expedited
parts via a satellite parts network.
