Highlights of Infiniti's sales performance in January include:

"Luxury buyers continue to respond very positively to the refreshed Infiniti model line, led by the new Infiniti QX full-size luxury SUV," said Ben Poore, vice president, Infiniti Business Unit. "Last year Infiniti was one of the fastest growing luxury automotive brands in America, setting the stage for the spring launch of the Infiniti M Hybrid, the only car with more than 350 horsepower and 30 miles per gallon highway fuel economy."

The Infiniti M Hybrid will be among the featured models as part of Infiniti's recently announced partnership with the NCAA, CBS Sports and Turner Sports.  Infiniti will run a multi-media campaign during regular-season men's basketball games and the newly expanded, 68-team 2011 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, including the introduction of the First Four™ and the always electrifying Men's Final Four®.  

"Like many of the teams heading toward the championship tournament, Infiniti is on a winning streak," added Poore.  "We look for our strong momentum to continue throughout 2011."
