Infinity is just Nissan's attempt to classify some of their cars akin to a Caddilac, or Mercedes - an upper scale buying market...
They do this becuase it's been proven that to many upscale American buyers, the marque, is more important than the car - wholly seen as a status symbol, so marketing a 'Honda'(1), 'Nissan'(2), or 'Toyota'(3) to the upscale American buyer is virtually pointless - because those are layman's brand cars, and hold no status symbol...

(1) Acura
(2) Infinity
(3) Lexus

Why do you Think Chevy is once again diluting their own cars, but marketing a version of the Cruize as a Buick?

Toyota has even now taken it a step further by creating Scion for the North American market (tested in USA for several years before coming to Canada);
They have created what Pontiac was (supposed to be, before minivans & cross-overs) to GM - a sporty, youthful brand...

Toyota Zelas = Scion TC

Toyota 86 = Toyota GT86 = Scoin FR-S

From the pictures I've seen, I think it's safe to presume that pretty much all of down town has water over the streets...
It looks like some areas are over a foot deep...

A lot of them are, and enmax is shutting power off to every evacuated area. Downtown has to be cleared out by 5.

I was on QE2 today. Sooooo many troops going down to help out. It's awesome to see the support from the troops.

Hopefully everyone here is safe with little damage.
