Well there was a thread a few weeks ago talking about a new Infiniti dealership in the Tacoma/Puyallup area. Anyway, i just got my computer back online(stupid spywhere virus) and i was wondering what the latest word on that was? My girlfriend's gonna be looking at brand-new cars in a few months and i have an outside hope that there will be some infiniti's on her list.

The building is being put up as we speak. I'd say they're about 25% complete. Last time I saw the job site in daylight, all they had up were the basic foundation, and concrete structure in place. I can't find any dates for projected opening, but I'm still hunting around for info on this as well.

Keeping my eyes on this one. I can't wait to see the new lineup, in person this time.

PS: the location is along I-5 in Fife.

Heading north towards Seattle on I-5, looking to the left side of the freeway, you'd see Nissan dealer, Korum dealer, Camping World, Infiniti, in that order, if I recall.

I think they're just generalizing. Notice there is Nissan of Fife, Puyallup Nissan, BruceTitus Nissan in Tacoma......

but only one Infiniti dealer in the area...

Cars on the lot, but I don't think they're in full swing just yet.

There's the billboard sign, seen from the freeway(not pictured) that still isn't complete, and the lot hasn't had the finishing touches... but it's very close.

When they are this new, they'd be super welcoming to anyone who stops by.

Charlie Dietrich? If he goes there, I might also. He has been very upfront and real with me.

Easter Sunday, and where am I? The new Infiniti dealer, of course!

There were zero customers, one sales guy, one lot boy, and a whole bunch of nice cars. Not one 6MT G35 on the lot.

The salesman's name was Timmy Huynh, and he explained to me that Infiniti has no FWD cars in it's line. All RWD or AWD, all aimed at performance.... As we're standing next to an '04 I35... hmm...

On a lighter note, he also said that Infiniti is planning to put up at least two more dealerships in the state, within 3-5 years, depending on sales numbers, market conditions, etc... woohoo!!

here's some of my favorite pics from this morning:So hot

"M45ThousandDollars"

Now THAT's some big chrome!!
