Historically, Infiniti’s performance-oriented cars came with a gun sight on their hoods, aimed squarely at BMW. Granted, in this case “history” does not go back too far, but one always got the sense Infiniti was pretty serious about its performance credentials. The G35 and G37 (in both sedan and coupe) fought the good fight with rear-drive-based ch

There are many hatchbacks in France. Two-door, five-door, three-door – the big three French manufacturers – Renault, Citroen and Peugeot – seem to have a dozen models each, and that’s not including the high-roofed variations each of the dozen seem to have. A Q60 on the coastal roads of France is about so much more than the narrow passages.

I always thought this song was by Neil Diamond. I have no idea how or why that thought was stuck in my mind, but it was. Turns out the track I’m thinking of is by Chris de Burgh – a name I’d never actually heard before I went fact-checking for this review. You learn things, in this job. It’s an elegant piece of design that will have you hummi

Montreal, QC – For 2019, Infiniti will be showing us Canadians with some love by introducing the Canada-exclusive “I-Line” versions of the Red Sport trims of both the Q60 coupe and Q50 sedan.

The Infiniti Q60 Red Sport isn’t chocolate, so it can’t make everyone happy. It’s sure set up to try though. Exactly as mild or as wild as you like.

Story and photography by Dan Heyman and Brendan McAleer Brendan says: Welcome to the first annual meeting of the “I’m Not Buying a BMW 3 Series” Club. Oh right, I guess it’d be 4 Series these days. At any rate, here we have two Japanese sport-coupe alternatives to the obvious choice of just buying German. It’s wasabi hot dogs versus currywur

It’s not every day that a manufacturer – a luxury manufacturer, at that – delivers a Canada-only special edition of one of their models. The 2019 Infiniti Q60 I-Line Red Sport 400 , meanwhile, is not just any model, but a halo car of the Infiniti brand. It is bonkers-fast, this car, and if ever there was an argument for the benefits of force

Infiniti unveiled its 2017 Q60 performance coupe today at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (NAIAS); the brand calls its latest model the next step in its plan to become a top-tier player among premium vehicle manufacturers.

Infiniti, Nissan’s dedicated luxury brand, has been selling vehicles and winning awards in North America since 1989. That makes Infiniti a relatively young automotive brand, so when we were compiling our list of favourite Infiniti models, we didn’t have a massive back catalogue of vehicles to choose from. That’s not to say Infiniti hasn’t made a

Infiniti's executive design director, Alfonso Albaisa, visited his family's homeland for the first time earlier this year. As an American citizen, Albaisa had not been able to tour his homeland previously. But with recent changes to the US embargo of Cuba, he "felt like it was time for me to go". He made it an historic occasion by bringing with him

By now, most car enthusiasts are familiar with the new regime of nomenclature over at BMW. A 3 or 5 Series is a four-door sedan, 4 or 6 Series is a two-door, um, coupe. Even if you didn’t know that, you probably know that a coupe is a two-door. So if I’m driving a 428i xDrive Gran Coupe, I see that it’s a 4 Series and also labeled a Coupe –
