Infiniti network grows

DEALERSHIP sites in Scotland and the West Midlands are next in line to offer UK models from Japan's latest name in sporting luxury cars.

Premises in Glasgow and Birmingham have been earmarked to represent Infiniti in upmarket motoring by next summer and will be followed by other flagship showrooms in South London, Leeds and Stockport, says the firm.

Priced from £30,300, Infiniti's range of saloons, coupe and crossover models are planned to rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus in the premium sector and will be retailed by Mana Premiere Automobiles UK, an offshoot of Al Mana International, a business group with extensive motor retailing experience in the Middle East.

Rymco UK, Infiniti's other British market partner, has just opened the doors on Infiniti Centre Reading, the first of its three centres devoted to the brand. Together with five further outlets promised by Mana, these will give Infiniti a total of 13 dealerships, each offering customers free collection and delivery of vehicles for maintenance within a radius of 150 miles.
