Excerpts from Carlos Ghosn 10.18.01 speech:
My comments in ()

"In the United States, our product launch intensity will also be high. Three new Nissans will be launched, including the much-awaited Z car in August (2002). We will follow in the second half with a crossover SUV and in early calendar year 2003 with the all-new Maxima.

For the Infiniti brand, we are planning a significant changeover. After the entry- level luxury G35 in March 02, we will follow with a new mid-size luxury sedan (replacement for I35?), a new coupe (G35 coupe or R35?) and a new SUV (replacement for QX4?). With these introductions, the Infiniti brand will be in a much stronger position to compete with its rivals."

There is no mention of a full-size truck for Nissan.

 

for that new z to be out on the road... the 2003maxima will probably be pretty nice too. Cant wait to see em.
