The Infiniti JX spots, "We Choose," "Interior," "Dog House," and "See the Invisible," feature a stylish family encountering common situations before everyone is ready to drive off, including:

• Passengers entry to the 3rd row, surprisingly easy in the Infiniti JX with the vehicle's wide door openings and unique forward movement function of the 2nd row;
• Driving directions and other questions, now answerable through the Infiniti Personal Assistant, Infiniti's live 24-hour, personal concierge service in the new JX, and;
• Obstacles behind the vehicle, which the JX Backup Collision Intervention System will detect and, if necessary, automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision.
  

"The inspiration that is NCAA March Madness® and the passion surrounding the games provides the right platform to share our story about the all-new Infiniti JX with passionate fans," said Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore.  "These spots showcase how our vehicle stands out from the crowd with the bold design, luxurious versatility and advanced hospitality and safety features."

The campaign debuts on Selection Sunday on CBS with spots running throughout March Madness®, including the Men's Final Four® and NCAA Basketball Championship Game.

Infiniti will also showcase the new series at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance this weekend, as the proud sponsor of the Infiniti Media Room and Judges' Lunch.  Support will continue over the summer during the 2012 Olympic Games in London.  The new fully integrated campaign from TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles includes digital work and will be available on the brand's Facebook page, official YouTube channel and Twitter.
