A lot has been said about the Infiniti G20 for 2001. As Infiniti's entry in the sedan market the G20 (and in this case specically the Base version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 4-door G20 is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Infiniti as a brand in general.
