subject: Indianapolis Nissan inventories may start to incorporate some of the best Mercedes offers [print this page] Two of the biggest names in the automotive industry are teaming up to really give the auto market something to talk about. If you can't beat em, join em, I always say but that isn't necessarily the case here, as two of the biggest brands in different car styles throw down with the rest of the industry. In this economy, it's better to have friends than enemies; combining forces gives Nissan the power to really take charge of a big chunk of the market with a little help from its friend, the illustrious Mercedes Benz. The companies are teaming up with the intention to share platforms and engines, and the first example might be coming in the form of some new Infiniti models. Does this make sense for Mercedes? It certainly does for Nissan, whose Infiniti brand has struggled to find an identity for itself for years. Your Indianapolis Nissan dealership is excited to have such experts to lean on as Infiniti takes another shot at winning the luxury car market.
From Japan, the first reports indicate that the next generation Infiniti G sedan and coupe models and subsequent M sedans are equipped with the Mercedes E-Class platform. For Indianapolis Nissan drivers, this means that you will be able to take advantage of the knowledge and design genius of some of the industry's brightest automotive minds, in a package labeled with a brand a lot of drivers know and trust. But that isn't the only chance Mercedes has to make a difference. In fact, one of the rumors is that the Z is going to benefit from a Mercedes engine. It's just in time, as the Z's VQ V6 may start getting phased out pretty soon. Instead, the new Zs may get to choose from two fuel efficient V6 engines and a potential V8 engine. Will it work out for Infiniti in the end? I can't imagine a better partner in establishing your local Indianapolis Nissan dealership as one of the hottest places to buy a car in town.
One of the big factors here is that Mercedes has done an excellent job at developing powerful engines that still benefit from serious fuel efficiency. With hybrid and diesel models thrown into the mix, Indianapolis Nissan drivers will still get the performance they're used to at a much lower total cost of ownership. Of course, there is also the nice bonus of knowing you did your part for planet earth and our environment by purchasing a fuel efficient car. Regardless, giving the Z a V8 engine will up the ante both from an efficiency side and from a performance side. Mercedes will definitely benefit from this relationship, as Nissan and Infiniti really appeal to a different driving market based on design cues. Your Indianapolis Nissan dealership is going to be a fun and different looking place the next time you walk into it. So definitely head down whenever you get some free time and check it out.
