  • 2011 Infiniti Etherea Concept

    Over the past decade, the luxury car market has changed dramatically. Sure, there's still an emphasis on leather this, wood that, and spun-aluminum the other. But there's also a philosophy that less is sometimes more. It applies not just to fuel economy, although hybrids and diesels have become luxury status symbols in their own right, but also to the actual size of the cars themselves. Take for example the introduction of small cars from luxury makers, such as the BMW 1-Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and the Lexus CT 200h. Infiniti will soon get into the luxury compact car game, and its...

    2011 Geneva Motor Show Preview: Infiniti Etherea Concept

    The autoshow season is fully upon us, as we transition from the Chicago show to Geneva next month and New York in April.

    2012 Infiniti M Hybrid Nets 32 MPG

    Infiniti made some pretty bold claims when it unveiled the 2012 M Hybrid at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year. The breakdown was something like this: Lots of horsepower, lots of performance, not a lot of fuel consumed in the process. Well, the numbers are in, and it turns out that Infiniti wasn't...

    2012 Infiniti M Hybrid Secures 32 MPG EPA Highway Rating

    Luxury hybrids are storming the marketplace, and bringing with them a new era of hybrid chic. The 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid hopes to snatch some of that market, and today's official EPA rating of 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway should bolster its chances. Those figures yield a combined average fuel...

    2012 Infiniti M35h Specs Released--For Europe

    First revealed last summer, Infiniti's 2012 M35h hybrid has been awaiting full specs and details for almost six months, despite a small dose of info from the L.A. Auto Show--but the wait is over.

    Infiniti Needs Halo Flagship Model, Says Sales Chief

    Infiniti’s sales are on the up and up, rising a staggering 27.5 percent last year alone, but if the brand is to be truly recognized as a ‘Tier 1’ luxury make it will need a “high-priced, halo flagship model.” That’s the claim of Infiniti’s North American...

  • 2011 Infiniti M37

    The new Infiniti Performance Line was just introduced a few months ago at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but already rumors are swirling that Nissan's tie-up with Daimler could spawn "Powered by AMG" badges for the range. The first of the IPL cars doesn't wear the tag, however, as it gets what is essentially the same VQ-based 3.7-liter engine the NISMO 370Z uses. The first of the supposedly AMG-powered IPL cars would be the M sedan, according to Autocar, getting the 6.2-liter V-8 from the E63 AMG. Unsurprising may be the best description for the new report, as we've already heard the...

    Video: Infiniti's Kyle Bazemore Talks M Hybrid

    Report: Daimler May Supply Infiniti With New Small Car Platform

    The growing push towards smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles is leading the charge for changing consumer perceptions of what defines a luxury car--with size no longer the differentiator but rather technology, quality and design. Nowhere is this more the case than in Europe where even the...

  • 2011 Porsche Cayenne S

    These two cars are extraordinary. There’s just no other way to describe family trucksters that can bomb to 60 mph faster than any readily available sports car could just a few decades ago—and darn near as fast as even the swiftest sports cars on the market today (we’ll presume a similar price bracket for that analogy). This feat alone wouldn’t be very astonishing—SEMA is ground zero if you want to see Ford F-150s and Escalades ‘roided out with V-8 muscle. Making these respective crossovers corner as if they sat two feet closer to the ground—say, like...

On sale today, from a starting price of $30,950, the new 2.5-liter V-6 delivers lower cost of entry, better fuel economy, and, yes, a bit slower...

  • 2011 Infiniti M37

    The luxury car segment has long been the leader in automotive safety technology, as discerning buyers and higher base prices allow the carmakers to do more than is possible in more cost-conscious cars. Mercedes-Benz and Volvo in particular have earned reputations for being leaders in the safety technology field. Now Infiniti is making its bid to join them with the announcement of the M sedan's place among the first to offer a trio of new technologies that form a New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) standard for 2011 and later vehicles. Lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and...
