3 future Infiniti models using the GTR powerplant

I'm just afraid there might be an over-saturation issue like what's going on at Chevy with their LS motor. I swear I can get an Aveo with the LS3 option...

I think the GTR platform needs to be for a GTR just to keep it unique. Next thing we know grandpa hauling his grand kids around is going to shoot for Nurburgring times on his way back from Publix with his launch control button.

I wish. There are not enough accessible GM vehicles with the LSX engines unless you like trucks, camaro's, trucks, camaro's or 5+ year old pontiacs.
