Can someone explain INFINITI with Red Bull?

I'm not here to beat a dead horse, however your opinion differs from press statements about the Renault-Nissan Alliance. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI032cGg-6g[/ame]

 

+ and in the immortal words of Dean Martin from 'Back to School', "well, it was a VERY large check"

 

fixed it for you

 

Very unlikely. Renault know what they are doing in F1 and have for a long time. It is all Renault for RB in F1 but they want to advertise their brand, fair enough.

BTW: Infiniti is sold in Australia too ... amenasce, the world does not end on the borders of the USA, sigh.

All those that are saying that Renault does not have a controlling interest in Infiniti ... please stop posting. Renault and Nissan have the same CEO, thus the CEO has controlling interest in Infiniti ... end of story. He can do what he likes with Renault, Nissan and Infiniti.

The boss of BOTH Renault and Nissan:

All those that love the Nissans have this man to thank for saving the company that was doomed:

Renault owns ~44% of Nissan.

Mystery solved.

Infiniti needs a Halo car badly.

the f1 race commercial was clever and fun to watch. reminds me of when we drove onto the track in monaco during the evening dinner party

 

i'm surprised nissan doesn' rebadge the GTR to the infinity GTR over here. Similar to how honda decided to make it's nsx an Acura. They knew the idea of paying big bucks for a brand name synonymous with economy and value may not work in the US.

 

Had to share......

Large part of that has to do with the Skyline GTR, which has a somewhat mythical status among many car nuts, especially the variety that love Japanese cars. Badging it as a Infinity won't impress many.

 

I wish we'd of gotten the NSX as a Honda over here.

I guess that is because I know Honda's history in F1, and would much much rather have that badge on my car.(If I owned a NSX)
