The Renault/Nissan 3.0L oil burner only recently made its debut in the Laguna Coupe IIRC, however it's been known for over a year that Nissan was planning to outfit its Infiniti line with a diesel as they trademarked G30D, M30D, FX30D and EX30D about a year or so ago. There are also rumors that the Maxima may receive this motor as well. As for whether or not the CVT can handle 331 ft-lbs of torque remains to be seen.

FYI the motor is rated at 235hp and cranks out 331 ft-lbs of torque.
