Curbside Classic Outtake: 1990 Infiniti M30
Comments to last Tuesday’s Curbside Classic pointed out the lasting stylistic influence of the BMW 6 Series on such cars as the Acura Legend coupe. That reminded me of this out-of-focus shot I took of a 1990 Infiniti M30 last winter. I try to stick to cars 25 years and older anyway, but this is [......

YSE Car of the Week: 2006 Infiniti M35
YSE (Your Shitty Economy) Car of the Week features the feature-packed Infiniti M35. When it sits new on the dealer lots trying to badge snob you away from the multitudes of BMWs and Audis roaming the crowded commuting lanes of our major cities, this M-car screams bargain at $50K. Option-out...

If you’ve been following my travails on a new car, you already know that GM won’t extend my lease or sell me my Saab anywhere near a realistic market price. That ticked me off. So I was forced to seek out a new car. Looked at the BMW 328i Coupe and the Infiniti G37. Neither [...]

Comparo, Take Two: Infiniti G37 vs. BMW 335
Still, the 335 offers a truly sublime driving experience, and the cachet of the roundel to boot. The Infiniti offers a more a more strongly-flavored (some would say less refined) drive, but subjectively, it’s not quite up to the standard of the BMW. It’s like comparing a straight-A student...

Daily Podcast - Lieberman Edition: I Love the Mitsuoka Himiko
Oh sure, it looks like a Morgan. But it’s not. Fresh from Mitsuoka, the same company that turned an Infiniti M35 into some kind of time warp British sedan for James May, is the Himiko roadster. It’s based on the Mazda MX-5, which means it’s great to drive. And the bodywork is just insane enough [...]

Nissan Monthly Sales Down 42.2 Percent
Like everyone else, Nissan reported dismal sales for November, with total US sales down 42.2% and off 9.5% YTD. Without good news to report, Nissan’s press release consisted of a list of GT-R awards and future vehicle fluff (Cube, $10K Versa 1.6, 370Z, Infiniti G convertible). The Nissan divi...
