34: Infiniti J30
Somewhere along the line, the Infiniti brand lost that original “magic” that made their cars unique. The J30 was a unique luxury sedan that was based on the Nissan Leopard from overseas. The car was a sleek and well-designed example of what a Japanese luxury car should be. The J30 got a lot of criticism from the automotive community for lackluster handling and whatnot. But the car performs better than expected and as time went on, the model was refined.
Although the J30 didn’t have a V8 powerplant or a lot of the features that rival luxury sedans had around this period, the car still had a lot of class. Infiniti put a lot of design effort into a car that was otherwise forgotten about. These cars when found in good condition are the hidden gems of nineties Nissan design.
