Today, on CNBC there was a segment on the incredible increase in sales for Infiniti in the US. Here are the 2003 increase in sales compared to 2002:
Infiniti 40.8%BMW 5.2%Cadillac 5.0%MB 3.6%
Now the number maybe abit misleading because of the introduction of the FX. They were up 84.0%, but car sales were up 29.5%.
What took them so long to catch on? Does this mean our Infiniti's will be worth more in the resale market in the few years?

What took them so long? Simple- the cars look INCREDIBLE now. Nissan as a whole has been on a great run the past few years.
Face it- the average luxury consumer cares about engines, etc...but first and foremost they want to look better than everyone else on the road.
At least that's my take on it.

Quite possibly.Now is the time to buy used Infiniti's, resale value will ruise a bit as the marque as whole becomes more in the publics eyes.
Also New Infiniti's are a good deal too (!) as many of the curent line were designed to be sold with thin margins to catch market share and rumors of significant price increases for the next few years abound.
