It's remarkable that the Infiniti FX35 made it to showrooms with its concept-car looks intact. While crossover SUVs had long been touted as a brand-new genre of vehicle, most of them at the time of the FX35's launch simply resembled small SUVs or large wagons. When the FX35 debuted in 2003 with its sports-car muscles and hulking linebacker stance, it ushered in a new emphasis on style that other automakers are only now beginning to match.
But the Infiniti FX35 doesn't just look sporty -- it's been engineered to feel that way on the road. This crossover SUV handles like a sport sedan on stilts, and it also comes loaded with standard equipment. Unfortunately, high style has resulted in a sacrifice of some measure of practicality, as the FX35 offers less cargo room and versatility than most other midsize crossovers.
The second-generation Infiniti FX35 first rolled into showrooms in model year 2009, but for those models produced for 2011 or later.The bold sheet metal that made this crossover such a standout in its first generation carried over into the second, with a couple of tweaks: Its nose was lengthened, its grille restyled and prominent new fender vents added a touch of class or kitsch, depending on who you ask.
Changes were also made under the skin. The FX35's 3.5-liter V6 got a slight bump up to 303 horsepower, and it was teamed up with a seven-speed transmission. Lots of standard and optional technology was added as well, including adaptive cruise control and a hard-drive-based navigation system with digital music storage.
One well-equipped trim level was offered in either rear- or all-wheel drive. Standard features included 18-inch alloys, xenon headlights, leather upholstery, a back-up camera, Bluetooth, satellite radio and a Bose surround-sound audio system with a six-CD changer and USB port. A bevy of packages were offered, allowing buyers to add options such as the navigation system, an upgraded sound system and adaptive cruise control.
With its sleek looks and sporty performance, the Infiniti FX35 is undoubtedly a jock among its contemporaries. It shares a platform with the Infiniti G sedan and the nimble EX, so carlike handling is encoded in its DNA, even though there's ultimately no hiding its higher center of gravity. Another plus is the abundance of technology- and safety-oriented gadgetry. One notable drawback is its skimpy rear passenger and cargo space, which trails that of competing models. Nonetheless, Infiniti's distinctive-looking hauler is a must-see for used buyers seeking a stylish, energetic alternative to the typical bland crossover SUV.
The first-generation Infiniti FX35 was offered from 2003-'08 in one fully loaded trim level. Power came from a 3.5-liter V6 engine that cranked out 275 hp with a distinctive exhaust growl. A five-speed automatic was the only available transmission. Traction control, stability control and antilock disc brakes were standard.
The original FX35's cabin was both sporty and luxurious, with an attractive gauge layout complemented by aluminum trim. Additional standard features included power-adjustable front seats, reclining rear seats, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, HID headlights and a six-speaker CD stereo.
Other features were available as options. A 300-watt, 11-speaker Bose audio system spruced up the sound, while a Sport Package added larger 20-inch wheels and a sport-tuned suspension, and a Technology Package added a navigation system, Intelligent Cruise Control and Lane Departure Alert, among other items. The navigation system was also available as a stand-alone option, and the FX35's cabin could be upholstered in leather.In road tests, we found the first-generation Infiniti FX35 to be every bit as exciting as it looked. We liked its strong V6, and found its steering quick and responsive, much like a sport sedan. Despite its elevated ride height, the FX35 felt balanced and under control, even in fast corners, while managing to provide an acceptably compliant ride. One concern that our editors raised was regarding the FX35's poor rear visibility, a consequence of that taut exterior design. And like the current model, this one was tight on cargo space and lacked a third-row seat.
A handful of changes were made to the FX35 during this era. Earlier models (2003-'05) came with a weaker standard stereo and fewer standard features, although side curtain airbags joined the list for '05. Major changes occurred for '06, including revised exterior styling and a slew of new standard features, among them the Bose audio system, leather upholstery, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a rearview camera. IPod connectivity was added to the options list for '07, and satellite radio became standard in '08.

Infiniti

Infiniti
Infiniti is the premium brand of Japan's Nissan Motors. It got its start in 1989 to go against Toyota's Lexus which was taking a serious and successful run against the usual suspects from Germany. Unfortunately for Nissan, Infiniti was a dog.
No offence to my canine friends, the Infiniti dogs were ugly and boring and under-powered and barely sold. The decent thing to do would have been to put Infiniti out of its misery and that was almost done in Y2K.
What happened next is another part of the Carlos Ghosn legend. Ghosn is one of the most successful and innovative automotive CEOs in the business. As head of Nissan (and controlling partner Renault) and with his back against the wall, Ghosn told his Infiniti engineers to go out and build him BMWs. With the Japanese talent for reverse engineering and flawless manufacturing they soon came up with some winners. Even the buyers of such things awoke from their BMW, Audi, Mercedes addictions and actually started shopping Infiniti.
The leader of the Infiniti attack is the mid-size G series and the poster child of the G is the G37 Coupe. With Infiniti now experiencing its best sales ever in North America I thought it was time to get some serious seat-time in the flagship. So I drove to Boston and back in a 2010 Infiniti G37 Coupe AWD.
The G37 Coupe comes in four flavours with the base rear-drive model stickered at $46,300. The tester, of course, was the fully loaded AWD version with tons of options which boosted the price to $54,400. My advice -- buy the base model. It too will arrive with the G37's great looks, precise handling and the 3.7-liter, 328-horsepower V6 connected to a smooth, seven-speed automatic. This combination, according to people with stopwatches, is faster than the comparably priced BMW 328i.
I wasn't carrying a stopwatch but I can tell you that in the left lane of the New York Thruway or the Mass Pike I had no difficulty keeping up with adventurous Mercs or Bimmers. The Infiniti's adaptive cruise control kept me at a respectable distance behind them, thus ensuring they, not I, went through the radar trap first. By the way, if the cops don't highjack your wallet on those roads, the toll booths will.
So,with a couple of thousand kilometres at the wheel , what do I think? Performance, handling, speed -- it's nailed the Bimmer benchmark. Styling -- who knows, that's a matter of personal taste, but I think this is one well-proportioned car. It's totally comfortable at the wheel, but you wouldn't want to be a back seat passenger. But so what? If you cared about the back seat or the trunk you wouldn't buy a Coupe. The one thing I did find objectionable, and perhaps a rule out for me, was the amount of wind noise and particularly road noise. Maybe you sports car fans like that but I like a quiet car like the Chevy Malibu, at half the money, which provides a more serene environment for a long trip.
The very good G series has probably saved Infiniti from extinction and the Coupe is the most Bimmer-like G of them all. This is a true competitor at last and should be considered by those who just can't wait to lay their money down on something with that classy BMW blue ‘n white roundel. Make no mistake, the Bimmer 3 Series is still champion in the sales competition leading by about 5 to 3 overall.
But my bottom line for the G Coupe? It's the closest thing anywhere to the Bimmer's 3 Series dominance. That's Carlos Ghosn again; he's a bit busy as CEO of two major automotive companies, but he still had time to fix Infiniti. I hope he doesn't blow up with some stupid business decision because in saving Infiniti, and in saving Nissan for that matter, his performance puts him up in Ford's Alan Mulally's bracket as the top automotive CEO still standing.

Audi Urban Concept

Audi is once again opening up new horizons: the Audi urban concept is a 1+1-seat, ultra-light car for congested urban spaces. The technical study being presented at the 2011 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt does not fit under any of the conventional categories - the Audi urban concept combines elements of a racing car, a fun car and an urban car into one radical new concept. In addition to a Sportback model, Audi is also presenting a Spyder variant.

The Audi urban concept is not based on any previous model - its development is solely oriented on the strict principles of lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction. The result is a concept car with no unnecessary weight, and one that concentrates on the pure essence of sporty motion.
The Audi urban concept has a sleek body. The wheels are free-standing, their surrounding protective plates feature blinking strips of LED lights. The highly concentrated look of the technical study, with its forward-urging lines, is dynamic and emotional - it lends Audi's design language a completely new impetus.
On board there is room for two people, their position slightly staggered and at a sporty, low level. All controls and materials are subject to the dictates of ultra-lightweight construction in order to ensure that the sensory experience they convey is unique and compelling. The driver can adjust the steering wheel and pedals to his own body measurements. Characteristic features of the Spyder include its low, continuous window area and its doors that open diagonally to the top.
The technology in the Audi urban concept reflects the full capabilities of the brand, especially when it comes to ultra-lightweight construction. The cockpit consists of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, which integrates the undercarriage of both seats. The Audi urban concept rolls on wheels with a 21-inch diameter.
Two e-tron electric motors provide the propulsion - providing the ultra-light Audi urban concept with the ability to accelerate powerfully. A lithium-ion battery supplies the energy - ideal for extended city tours.

Mercedes-Benz is a German brand of automobiles , buses and trucks of the company Daimler AG (formerly Daimler-Benz and DaimlerChrysler). Mercedes-Benz is the oldest car manufacturer in the world. The closest competitors of Mercedes-Benz in the current market for luxury cars are Acura , Alfa Romeo , Audi , BMW , Cadillac , Infiniti , Jaguar , Lexus and Volvo . The famous three-pointed star, designed by Gottlieb Daimler , symbolizes the ability of his motors for use on land, sea or air.
The creators of the company date back to 1881 , when Daimler and Benz invented independently of the internal combustion engine car in southwest Germany . Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach , who together invented the four-stroke engine Template: 1914 , worked together in Cannstatt (a district of Stuttgart ); Benz had his shop in Mannheim near Heidelberg . There are no records that both inventors had ever known.
With this engine, Daimler and Benz created the world's first car in 1886, initially naming it “Daimler-Benz Motor Wagen Pattent.” This prototype had only three wheels and a single gear, a top speed of 17 km / h, with a maximum power of 0.9 horsepower. Your engine runs on gasoline, but at that time it was sold only in pharmacies. A few months after its invention, the wife of Benz made a trip to visit a relative. Her husband asked her to take the Pattent Motor Wagen to prove it, and did so. As a note of curiosity, every year brings the model of the Mercedes-Benz of Mannheim and is a representation of the era garb. A few years later took out a new version, and with four wheels and two gears, reaching a maximum speed of 20 km / h.
