Infiniti to sell luxury EV in 2013

Did you all happen to read Intermezzo`s post. Now that`s a guy who has his priorities straight. He thinks first and foremost about detailing his car and ALLOWING his wife to get her rest. When he`s done detailing, he can then spend his time with his awakening wife. You da man!

My sundaymornings are sacred:the wife and kids(7 & 9)know that I work on the bike and car from 08h00 `till 12h00 and during that time I am not to be disturbed.

At this moment i`ve not yet "done" the car: I keep it clean by means of washing it; when I see a scratch ,birdbombing,or bugsplatters I remove them as soon as possible.

I do have all the right stuff waiting on a shelf `till the temp gets good for a complete polish-wax -wax -wax -...treatment.:bounce

Hey Jeff another thing that I do sometimes is to bring some detailing products with me to work. Depending on what I`m doing some times I get the chance to do a little detailing at lunch. Usually my bring along stuff is for the interior like glass cleaning supplies and 303 for the dash and interior plastic. If I have more time I`ll QD and SG a panel or 3.



If I`m able to keep up the interior in this manner it significantly reduces the time required to clean my truck on the weekend.

another issue is ....i have the Company Caravan...do i keep that vehicle detailed...(ive decided yes..and do most of my "testing" on that vehicle too...but on my wifes car, yeah ill put some spare stuff in her trunk...great idea thks

I`ve got some Floodlights. They work really well when trying to dry my truck at night. [/b]</blockquote>
I do the leaf blower thing to dry, yep even at night. my garage has 4 2-tube fluorescent lights in it so I have a great lighting situation for my detailing..... no scratch or swirl can hide from me! so yeah I do most detailing at night with only the fluorescent lighting on my car, making a great detail best possible...... my neighbors are shocked when I come home in the blazer after camping and its a muddy mess when they go to bed, but in the morning when they come out to get their newspapers, they see a shining, gleaming perfection in my driveway! :bounce

Infiniti plans to launch its first luxury electric vehicle in the United States and other global markets in 2013.

Nissan Motor Co.`s luxury division said Friday that the Infiniti EV will be ?a stylish, high performance five-seat luxury vehicle with zero emissions technology.?

Infiniti first announced plans to market an electric vehicle last year but offered few details until now. It will be based on the same platform as the Nissan Leaf, an electric car scheduled to go on sale later this year.

"This future EV will play a major part of Infiniti`s `eco performance` strategy that will see a greater focus on hybrid and EV technology," Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore said in a statement. "We are committed to applying the world`s best technologies to reduce emissions without sacrificing driving excitement or engagement.?

Nissan, under CEO Carlos Ghosn, is spending $5 billion through 2010 to become a leader in EV sales worldwide.

Infiniti will unveil the 2012 M35 hybrid sedan in November at the Los Angeles auto show. The M hybrid is based on the M sedan and will deliver V8 performance with 4-cylinder fuel economy from an estimated 302-hp, 3.5-liter V6 engine and a 50 kilowatt electric motor with estimated horsepower of 67, Infiniti said.

The Infiniti M35h is scheduled to go on sale in spring 2011

I like the Tesla

Interesting.

That M will have stunning acceleration! I would buy a diesel over a hybrid any day. Much more sensible and cost effective and probably more reliable too.
