Nissan's luxury brand Infiniti is inching its way towards Europe - today, it launched in Russia.
The firm's entry into the Russian market was confirmed at the Moscow motor show. It will initially bring the FX SUV crossover and the M luxury saloon, fitting both cars with either 3.5-litre V6 or 4.5-litre V8 engines. But Infiniti has also confirmed that it plans to introduce the G35 sports saloon and the QX56 full-size SUV in 2007. The firm will set up dealerships in Moscow and St Petersburg.
