Instead of crowing about pointless CO2 emissions, [...]

Infiniti – the luxury arm of Nissan – is to utilise Nissan’s fleet customers to grow UK sales by 4000 per cent in the next five years. We do have a habit of taking the Michael out of Infinit’s efforts to grow car sales in the UK. We’ve often wondered if they’re working on a [...]

Infiniti has finally taken the wraps of the Infiniti JX Concept – a seven seat crossover – at Pebble Beach, after endless PR teases.

The seventh and final part of the tease of the 7-seat crossover that is the Infiniti JX ends ahead of an official reveal at Pebble Beach.

Infiniti – posh Nissan – has had a very minor play with features and colours on the Infiniti FX for 2011 – and sneaked in a price rise.
