Is Infiniti Driving Towards a Dead End?

Nissan's luxury division, Infiniti, is facing some serious roadblocks. Sales have been dropping, both in Japan and the U. S. The carmaker has seen tough competition from Chinese competitors and others. This has caused a big drop in profits—about 85% in the third quarter alone. Jobs have been cut, and production has slowed down. Plus, changes in the upcoming U. S. administration are adding to the uncertainty. Infiniti has been around since the late 1980s and used to be a big name in the premium car market. It reached its peak in the U. S. with 235, 788 units sold back in 2012. But lately, things haven't been going so well. Some people are worried that the brand might not have a bright future. Infiniti produces cars in three countries: Japan, Mexico, and the U. S. All these locations could be affected by the challenges Nissan is facing. It's a tough time for the luxury division, and nobody's sure what's going to happen next.
