2015 Infiniti ESQ Official Photos Unveiled Ahead Of Global Debut
Official photos of the Infiniti ESQ, the crossover formerly known as the Nissan Juke Nismo, have been unveiled ahead of its global debut at this weekend’s 2014 Chengdu Auto Show.
CarNewsChina reports the premium crossover will arrive in Chinese showrooms this October, with a price of admission set between ¥200,000 and ¥300,000 ($32,000 – $49,000 USD). Power for the China-only ESQ will be a 1.6-liter turbo-four delivering 200 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque through a CVT.
Though Nissan sells a handful of vehicles in the Chinese market, the Juke is not among them. Further, few Infiniti badges decorate the ESQ, hinting that, like Citroën’s DS line, the crossover is just the first model of a sub-brand aimed at young buyers.

An Infiniti logo doesn't make this look any better. No matter how many HP or MPG it could achieve, I could never get over this look.
If Timothy Leary was alive today I could see him driving around in that thing and handing out acid tabs. The question is would anybody take one from him, or would they think they were already having a bad trip ?. That thing has more incohesive design elements than the original vinyl version of Led Zeppelin III with the spinning wheel inside the jacket.
