Infiniti, Nissan's luxury automotive brand, recently announced updates to their lineup for 2010, with small cosmetic updates dominating the brand's changes. This is welcome news to current owners of Infiniti vehicles, as it means another year without their late-model cars becoming outdated on the road.
