If this is true I wonder if Honda will start selling it's Acura brand here as well.

Hmm.. introducing an American only brand here has had mixed results (see Cadillac) I presume Infiniti and Acura are American only?

Ford has wisely refrained from introducing its luxury brand Lincoln over here.

I suspect though these two could be successfull with the right marketing.

Infiniti's cars are on sale in Japan, but under the Nissan name. Think the same applies for some Lexii/Toyota, (eg. IS200/300 = Altezza)

They've been selling as a (relatively) poor man´s Lexus in the Middle East for last three or four years.

I dont think it will be difficult to better Nissan's brand credentials hence it makes sense to bring the Infiniti brand to the UK, the G35 is a very nice 330i competitor. Honda on the other hand IMO have a stronger brand so might be better selling the Acura RL and TL as Hondas in the UK and Europe. Re Lincoln, of course Ford have Jaguar, Volvo, Aston, Landrover etc so are not short of a premium brand or two. Re Lexus, I wonder if the 4WD IS250 and the IS350 will come here, the latter has 300 BHP.

Other premium brands will not like this news,they know that this is going to cost sales.We may sneer in our 'British'way but MB,BMW,Saab,etc will not like it at all.
