Written by Damon Lavrinc
Review: 2009 Lexus LX570 is three tons of luxury with a dollop of off-road mastery With proven Land Cruiser bloodlines, and the Tundra's V8 muscle underhood, the seven-passenger LX competes in the rarefied full-size luxury SUV segment. But what does this Japanese entrant hold over its B...

2009 Infiniti FX50: Road Trip Day 3 -- Grand Canyon to LA

03 Sep 2009 14:30:49 PDT

And the FX50 drives great. As noted on Days One and Two, the driving position, steering and handling are spot-on, and NVH issues aside (see Day Two), the V8 is a monster. This Infiniti eats up miles with confidence and flair. It's the real deal.

2009 Infiniti M45 Review - the prince of understated luxury

14 May 2009 01:21:25 PDT

Written by peter
I had written Infiniti off as a brand some time in the 90’s. Their flagship model Q45 was bloated land yacht and their G20 and J30 models were underpowered failures that never made a dent in any luxury brand, Japanese or European. Infiniti couldn’t even beat American luxury cars at a time when...

I don't want to overload you people on this stuff, but the 2009 Infiniti FX50 is the Car of the Week, so I have no choice. Since Infiniti is a branch of Nissan (gasp!), you'll see quite a bit of similarity between this and the Nissan 370Z I reviewed recently. Some parts even look interchangeab...

Comparo, Take Two: Infiniti G37 vs. BMW 335

06 Apr 2009 04:08:56 PDT

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...

The G is packing more power from less displacement (330 vs. 306 hp), a bit more torque (270 vs. 266 lb-ft) and revs higher (7,600 vs. 6,800 rpm). But it's also packing the pounds. The Infiniti tips the scales at 3,709 pounds, while the Genesis Coupe comes in just under 3,500 pounds.

Road Test Review: 2009 Infiniti FX35

15 Dec 2008 10:24:00 PST

Daily Podcast - Lieberman Edition: I Love the Mitsuoka Himiko

03 Dec 2008 14:32:19 PST

Written by Justin Berkowitz
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 [...]

In general, the new Murano is not a radical departure from the old one, which was a phenomenal success for Nissan. As before, the Murano is based on the Altima platform, which itself was reworked just last year. There's still no third-row seat, which is fine, because the Murano is for people w...
