Being the fastest Hybrid vehicle is a bold claim. Yes, the upcoming Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1 hyper cars also have hybrid drivetrains and near 1,000 combined horsepower? They also cost more than a million dollars. In the meantime, Infiniti M35h sedan rules over all hybrids at the drag strip. Can it beat all competition [...]
The new 2014 Mazda6 and the Infiniti M35 Performance Hybrid do not compete for the same buyers. Why mash them up in a technology mashup review. Because the two Japanese sedans take completely different and distinct means to achieve the same goal. Both of these cars get about 30 MPG in combined fuel economy and [...]
Infiniti, RedBull, Sebastian Vettel, and David Coulthard recently visited the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The purpose of the visit was to promote the upcoming 2014 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Russia as well as the 2014 Winter Olympics. It also gave Sebastian Vettel the opportunity to be the first active [...]
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 premium sports-sedan debuted at the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) this morning as the first model with their new Q badge.

The 2013 Infiniti JX35 is new luxury crossover people-hauling machine that takes dead aim at Acura’s MDX and Audi’s Q7 vehicles. In this Colorado review Nathan takes a closer look at the brand new Infiniti JX35 by driving it to Red, Rocks Colorado. So has Infiniti built a luxury vehicle that can compete with the [...]
The brand new 2013 Infiniti G37x, the Audi S5 Quattro and the Volvo S60 T5 AWD all have just thing in common; they are all-wheel-drive cars. But perhaps more importantly, these three car represent three very different ways to achieve power. The new Infiniti G37x is normally aspirated, while the Volvo S60 T5 is turbocharged [...]

How does the 2013 Infiniti G37 coupe maintain its competitive edge? Lets look at the the details and find out. This test coupe is the G37x S model. What does this [...]
The newly updated 2013 Infiniti FX37 is tall sports car with optional big and brawny wheels. OK, so technically the Infiniti FX37 is a crossover and not a sports car but it sure rides and handles like a sports car. In fact in THIS recent Mashup comparison of $53K crossovers we picked it as the [...]
What’s the best new all-wheel-drive luxury Crossover that you can buy for $53,000.00? That’s the question we wanted to answer in this TFLcar Mashup review. Is it the new and refreshed 2013 Lexus RX 350 or is it the new and refreshed 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 4MATIC or is it the new and refreshed 2013 Infiniti [...]
The Infiniti G37 Coupe is for those who don’t want, or can’t afford, a costlier European sports coupe from automakers such as BMW or Mercedes. It seems that everyone has a “Euro” coupe. The front-engine/rear-drive G37 coupe sure looks sexy enough, from its “wave-style” hood to its large-diameter dual exhaust pipe outlets. The G37 makes [...]
The 2013 FX37 isn’t all new but the big news is under the hood. Instead of the previous Infiniti’s 303-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 this FX37 now gets a bigger 325-hp, 3.7-liter V-6. That’s over 20 more ponies to really move what was already a fast car…..even faster. For 2013 you also get standard bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights [...]
It’s an unlikely comparison, this 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 vs 2013 Infiniti FX50S Mashup Review. Who cross-shops 5,150 pounds of pent-up aggression against 4,557 pounds of beauty and grace? Being a chaos-loving American, I instinctively favored the former. The end result, however, was something I would never have expected. Style From the outside, the [...]
Much like the great Muhammad Ali, the 2012 Infiniti QX56 4WD remains light on its “feet” while at the same time delivering impressive luxury, road presence, off-road prowess, and towing capability. The QX56 luxury is evident the moment you approach it with the key fob in your pocket. The side mirror marker lights turn on [...]
