 While Toyota's Lexus LS (and Honda's front-wheel drive flagship, the Acura Legend) were a stunning success, Infiniti Q45 sales never took off due in part to a notorious advertising campaign which did not include actual photos or information about the car.Poor sales were also blamed on the car's unconventional styling, particularly the grille and lack of interior woodgrain or chrome trim.In 1993 the Infiniti brand was launched in Australia with the sole model on offer being the Q45.
