The Infiniti J30 , marketed as the Nissan Leopard J Ferie in Japan , was a rear wheel drive luxury car . The J30 went into production on April 7, 1992 as a 1993 model to replace the M30 (which was a coupe ), and was launched in the United States after its competitors, the Lexus GS and Acura Legend . The car was sold in the mid-size sedan segment between the smaller G20 and the larger Q45 , both by size and price. The small interior resulted from its rounded styling uncharacteristic of the crowded executive car class, which is now considered an early variant of a four-door coupé .
73-453: The J30 was designed at Nissan Design International (NDI) in La Jolla, California under the direction of president Jerry Hirshberg and exterior designer Doug Wilson in 1988-1989. Hirshberg said it was "the first car in what we see as a trend toward breaking away from the long tyranny of the wedge". Design work was frozen in 1989. In a promotional video produced in 1994, it was referred to as
146-519: A "personal luxury sedan" as attempt to define it as a four-door coupé. The rounded styling resembles the contemporary Nissan Altima /Bluebird U13, also styled at NDI at approximately the same time.. Paul Dean, in a review for the Los Angeles Times , likened the J30 to "a 1961 Jaguar Mark X that melted", adding the "styling magic ... has softened the bulk of a sedan into the visual delicacy of
219-536: A base J30 with a spoiler. In the United States, Infiniti unveiled the J30 in Chicago on February 5, 1992. By early March, prices were set at $ 30,000 and $ 34,700 for the 1993 model year J30 and J30t, respectively; there were no available options and the first cars were scheduled to be in dealer showrooms by the end of the month. The car launched at $ 33,000 for the base and $ 34,700 for the touring models; by 1995,
292-510: A coupe". Bob Sikorsky drew a parallel to the 1947 Studebaker Champion and was positive about his driving impression, calling the J30 "one of the best-engineered cars in the world today ... a paragon of smoothness and silence with a remarkable balance between cornering ability and straight-ahead highway cruising". At the launch event, held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, Hirshberg presented the design theme as "a bold, calligraphic sketch of

In a retrospective, Mickey Kaus derided the design as "a pretentious fashion statement" with a "massively round, sagging rear end" that was based "on the bottom of a toilet bowl". To establish that this was a luxury vehicle, the interior was largely designed with assistance from Poltrona Frau [1] Archived 2011-02-08 at

657-450: A total comprehensive experience when you get in this car", according to Hirshberg. One of the shortcomings of the J30 was its lack of interior room. Despite its exterior mid-size car dimensions, the interior space was comparable to a subcompact ; in fact, key interior dimensions were smaller than a Nissan Sentra , due to its sloping roofline and shrunken trunk. Power came from a naturally-aspirated 3.0 L VG30DE V6 , shared with
