Laguna Beach, California -- There is no car line so universally appealing as Infiniti. The company has developed such a competent and enjoyable line of vehicles, plus created a dealership model that collectively is as good as the best of the other top luxury dealerships. Prestigious J. D. Power and Associates has rated the Infiniti car line and individual products (G20, I30, Q45 and now the QX4) tops for much of the nineties.

Infiniti is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with the introduction of the new 2000 Infiniti I30. The Infiniti I30 offers an original approach to the luxury sedan market. Rather than following the traditional wedge shape, the California Nissan studio designers sought a fluid, dynamic form that combines highly efficient packaging with a sense of security and strength.

The original I30 was introduced as a 1996 model. The 2000 I30 offers an improved 3.0-liter DOHC V6, high-intensity discharge Xenon headlights, active front-seat head-restraint system, a 200-watt Bose audio system with 7 speakers and a host of other luxury convenience features.

The I30 continues the Nissan tradition with a fully-equipped, performance-capable luxury car. The elegantly styled I30 offers increased power, more interior room, and refined ride and handling.
