Infiniti is fighting a tough battle right now. Although it seems like the Japanese automaker was onto something only a handful of years ago, it seems that it's struggling to find its identity today. With an onslaught of all-new products from the German contingent and strong competition from Lexus, it seems like there's a bit too much waivering and not enough action.

Take, for example, how the company pushed the Q50 to the market SUPER early and it's still selling G37s — now called the Q40 — in parallel. If anyone could explain how this is a beneficial strategy, I'd die to hear it.

Now every time I've recalled Infiniti launching a large luxury sedan, it flops. Remember the J30? Q45? Now the M, which is called the Q70. I don't remember the last time I've seen any of these on the road.

The company knows it needs something with juice and that will trump the competition. Could the Q80 Inspiration provide us some hints at what's to come? Probably.

Looking a bit like a mix between a Porsche Panamera meets Aston Martin Rapide meets Infintii Q50, it's a wild look. More importantly though, we're intrigued by what YOU think of this Infiniti concept.

Does the Q80 INSPIRATION have you excited about Infinti's future or is it MORE ASPIRATION when the company should be focusing on EXECUTION?
