Infiniti To Show Etherea Concept in Geneva

Compact personal luxury cars are all the rage among manufacturers these days. Audi has spent a considerable amount of time and money promoting the A1 to European buyers. Lexus is doing the same with the Ct 200h, and Mini seems to be introducing a new variant on their Cooper about once per quarter. Even such “pedestrian” manufacturers as Hyundai are offering amenities such as nav systems, leather interiors and heated front and rear seats on their compact offerings, so where is Infiniti in all this confusion?

I’m glad you asked, because Infiniti is set to show a coupe sedan hatchback crossover at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

LA Auto Show 2009: 2010 Infiniti G37 unveiled, 2011 QX coming and EV re-confirmed
Although the 2011 Infiniti M was the star of last night’s show, as suspected, the wraps came off the 2010 Infiniti G37, a mid-cycle refresh of the automaker’s bread-and-butter model.
It’s far from a radical redesign, but as previously spied, the fog lamp clusters moved further down the reworked fascia, a new grille sits front and center and a tweaked rear bumper joins a new set of 17-inch, five-spoke wheels.
Inside, it’s more of the same, with a nip here and a tuck there. White gauges and an LCD screen are the most obvious changes, along with a new center console, aluminum trim and available Maple accents. Real-time traffic and weather are included in the navigation system (XM subscription required), and everything’s accessed through a seven-inch touch screen monitor that carries forward for 2010.
