 In the past 30 years of operation, the massive Nissan manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tenn. has held numerous milestone Job One ceremonies, marking the beginning of production of a new vehicle or a significant model changeover. But this week, the badge on the hood of the vehicle rolling off the assembly line represented something entirely new – the very first Infiniti built at the plant, and the first luxury vehicle ever built in the state of Tennessee. Among the guests joining the celebration were Nissan Americas Vice Chairman Bill Krueger, Vice President Manufacturing Smyrna – Decherd Susan Brennan, Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore and U.S. Representative Scott DesJarlais. Also attending were Smyrna employees, with others watching a live broadcast. “We are extremely honored to be building this world-class vehicle, right here in Middle Tennessee,” said Brennan. “We expect the inspired design and quality craftsmanship built into every new Infiniti that rolls off the production line in Smyrna will deliver inspired performance that is second to none.” The all-new 2013 Infiniti JX is scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in late March. “In JX, we have created the next great luxury family vehicle – one with seductive design, sophisticated craftsmanship, a roomy interior, innovations that make life more efficient, and advanced safety features,” added Poore. “I’m proud to say it’s built right here in Tennessee!” Add Comment  Infiniti will be adding to its already abundant luxury vehicle selection. The automaker is looking to add a three-row crossover and a smaller-than-the-G25/G37 to its lineup. The crossover has already been shown a few months ago; it is called the JX. The JX will be a more family-oriented SUV whereas the already popular QX is used more for its towing capabilities. The newest crossover will attempt to compete with Lexus' RX and Acura's MDX. The smaller car will be Infiniti's first entry-luxury vehicle since the G20 in 2002. Click here to view the entire article. President's Day Savings at Pepe Infiniti! 02/17/2012

There is also the ability to synch appointments from Google Calendar into the navigation system. “The Infiniti JX’s features were inspired by families who told us they wanted a luxury vehicle with features like the world’s first Backup Collision Intervention system, an Around View Monitor and not having to take out a child safety seat to get access to the 3rd row,” said Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore. “We’re proud that Parenting magazine recognized our desire to make hectic family lives a little a more efficient and much more enjoyable.” For complete details on the “Smartest Family Cars” list, please visit http://www.parenting.com/gallery/best-family-cars-suvs. Parenting magazine’s February “Genius” issue is available on newsstands now. | Pepé Infiniti
