Infiniti has also been considered a separate brand here in sg. Ironically, that article mentioned Infiniti is not looking to compete with Lexus. Lexus is *not* recognised as a separate luxury brand in sg. It's "parked" under Toyota. Every Lexus sold adds to the Toyota numbers.

yishunite Turbocharged June 30, 2020 Share June 30, 2020 So what is it Inifiniti:Nissan as Audi:Seat? But somehow i dont think this will work coz unlike VW grp those brands all have long illustrious histories (and loyal base) before their merger... And what if the low brand name wanna make special editions like Seat Cupra? Then we have three tiers? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe better screen, ram and camera? Lol. Nissan plus's QQ is called the x trail. They are churning out very boring cars for many years. Infinite brand has not really established like Lexus. More marketing and media exposure might help. Even marketed as luxury brand, their quality is also not up there yet. I would like to see them bring back the skyline gtr.

Ake109 6th Gear June 30, 2020 Share June 30, 2020 VW seems to have done it right with sharing platforms and engines but Nissan/Infiniti seems to be confused and go this way and that. I think the main problem is the age of sporty/luxury sedans are gone and the mass mkt wants crossover/suv/boringshits/yawn. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbian78 6th Gear June 30, 2020 Share June 30, 2020 Does lexus and toyota share parts? I am talking about those cheap simple plastic parts like buttons and plastic covers, not engines and gearboxes. To cut cost and make things simpler. When i sit in a q50, i find some familiarity to my sylphy. E.g. the sunglass holder with the lights module and certain buttons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic June 30, 2020 Share June 30, 2020 (edited) Most common parts are shared except the branding is Lexus vs Toyota and during servicing, the WS will charge double Lexus parts vs Toyota parts. So, if buying decision hangs between the FWD entry level "Lexus", I rather buy a higher tier Camry. Edited June 30, 2020 by Kangadrool 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And share the most parts. But other models not really super obvious from my casual watching of review videos. Edited June 30, 2020 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise everything else is shared - drive train, brakes, filters, motors etc etc. If you go stockist to buy original parts usually the box is printed with both Toyota and Lexus logos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
