With any large-and-in-charge luxury SUV, the question for many buyers is not how much gear you can stash in the rear compartment, how loud the multi-speaker surround system is, or even how many people can cram into the second- and third-row seats. The real question is whether the vehicle can adequately articulate your own wealth and prestige. In that regard, the 2012 Infiniti QX56 is like adding an exclamation point to your bottom line. Only… Read More

If you could only use one word to describe the Infiniti M, it might be this: refined. In the 2012 model, which we tested for a week, there were no improvements to the 420-horsepower V8 engine, no added luxury accoutrements, and no new interior changes. Yet, driving this luxury sedan for the first time (since we did not review the 2011 version) and comparing it against the Infiniti M37x (which we did review last year), there is a sense of… Read More

If you’ve seen the banner ads sprinkled all over the Web, you know the Infiniti G37 is one of the most heavily marketed cars around. Over the past several months, Infiniti has pushed this elegant and sleek sedan as an business-class sedan for those who have stayed away from the BMW and Mercedes-Benz nameplates due to cost or some pent-up agitation with German cars. Curves in all the right places Nissan-Infiniti, the third-largest Japanese… Read More

Lumping the EX35 in with other “small cars” is a bit of a stretch. We know the Mini Cooper is small because you have to fold yourself into a ball to get inside. And the Smart Fortwo is so small you can use it as a doorstop. The Infiniti EX35 is not exactly small, since it measures about 15 feet long and weighs 3,764 pounds. Yet, the vehicle has a few important upgrades for the 2011 model year and a couple of new colors. It is also just a blast… Read More

It has been a long, wild ride for Infiniti, the company that Nissan birthed in the late 80s as a challenger in the German-dominated luxury car market. Sure, you can pick and choose which Infiniti models have edged out the competition over the years, and the company certainly deserves credit for inventing cutting edge technology like adaptive cruise — now becoming almost standard on all news cars. Yet, there is this lingering sense that no… Read More

It hasn’t been a particularly stellar year for Japanese auto manufacturers in terms of the little things like keeping customers alive. Toyota has done its best to trash it reputation, and now Nissan, which owns the Infiniti brand, has announced that a connector in the G35 sedans and coups could be faulty, which would prevent the air bags from deploying. The wire harness on 2005 to 2007 G35 Coupes, and 2005 to 2006 G35 Sedans can wear down and… Read More

Infiniti's 2011 M looks to be the company's best to-date. With two engines to choose from, either a 3.7 liter V8 at 330 HP or a direct injected 5.6 liter V8 that produces 420 HP, the new M is a sleeper in disguise. Other features include an AWD option (the standard being RWD), seven-speed automatic transmission with optional paddle shifters, hard drive based navigation and even optional 18-inch wheels. The new M touts some pretty… Read More

Infiniti's 2011 M sedan sports a new sleek, curvaceous body that will distinguish it from its German sedan rivals. The 2011 Infiniti M will be offered in the 3.7 liter, 330 hp, V6 powered M37 and the 5.6 liter, 420 hp, V8 M56 model designations when it goes on sale nationwide in spring 2010.

With a subscriber base of more than 7.6 million, and the announced merger with Sirius Radio, XM Radio is arguably the mostpopular satellite radio provider available. Infiniti has always been regarded as an adopter of cutting-edge technologies, so today’s announcement should come as no surprise. All new 2008 Infiniti models will come standard with XM Radio installed rather than being a costly upgrade. As part of the XM deal,… Read More

XM Satellite Radio has announced that Nissan North America, Inc., has chosen XM to supply satellite-delivered data and telematics services, such as in-vehicle messaging and XM NavTraffic, whichdelivers current traffic information to properly equipped Nissan and Infiniti vehicle navigation systems. “Nissan's choice to expand its relationship with XM in this important area of data services and telematics capabilities represents… Read More
