Welcome to Depreciation Appreciation! Every month, your pals at autoTRADER.ca dig up an instance of how depreciation can make for an extraordinary used car deal. This time ’round, we’re having a look at a solidly reliable and properly thrilling sports coupe that’s come and gone in recent years: the Infiniti G37. Launched for model year 2008

Can something be too good for its own good? The Infiniti G35 and G37 seemed to come so close to knocking the 3 Series off its pedestal that anything less than a 3-killer for Infiniti’s latest compact luxury sport sedan, now rebooted as the Q50, would be a disappointment. The G35 was a tough act to follow, but more than any other Japanese m

The hugely popular BMW 3 Series Sedan is typically held up as the poster boy for this market segment, and rightfully so. These days, however, a 3 Series has scores of competitors, if a Bimmer doesn’t turn your crank. This review also takes a closer look at Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Lexus IS. Other premium compact sports sedans you might al

Summer is here. It’s hot. It’s muggy. There’s no complaining though – especially after the nasty winter which most recently overstayed its welcome across most of Canada. With the sun shining warmly and the snow and ice melted for another season, the minds of many motoring Canucks shift towards the joy of driving, and this might just be your year to

Everybody makes car payments. Even if you pay cash, there's a trickle coming out of your pocket every month in terms of depreciation, fuel-costs, and insurance. For most vehicles in the luxury market, that first factor's a doozie. Simply driving a luxury car off the dealer's lot hits it for a massive initial depreciation – it's a symbol of wealt

Platform sharing used to be a dirty secret in the automotive world, with car companies going to great lengths to conceal the obvious begging, borrowing, and stealing that went on when one of more models were built from the same parts bin. Nowadays it’s the backbone of the entire industry as automakers strive to keep development costs down and recou

In a move surprising no one, Hyundai has announced it will stop making its Genesis Coupe sports car after the 2016 model year. Introduced for 2010, the Hyundai's first RWD sports car found itself in an interesting position; it could be seen both as a budget-priced competitor for upscale two-doors like the Infiniti G37 and BMW 3 Series, as well

Infiniti has revealed pricing and some details for a pair of all new models today. The first is their new compact crossover, the QX30 and the second is the Q60 sports coupe . The QX30 starts with a 2.0L turbo four that produces 208 hp and 258 lb-ft. The engine routes power through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and either front wheel or

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

Vehicle Type Coupe / Convertible A genuine sports car driving experience comes from the latest Z’s dedicated sports car platform as well as a proven powertrain. Description The Nissan 370Z is a two-seat sports model built to embody the latest and greatest in a storied line of affordable performance cars from Nissan, succeeding t

It’s the little details, sometimes. In many areas where it counts, the 2018 Cadillac CTS feels cautiously calibrated to create a satisfying luxury performance drive – and one that demonstrates plenty of attention to how things feel and respond at the tips of the driver’s fingers and toes. The engine is loud when pushed, but sounds glorious,

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. Thanks to the deployment of Infiniti’s latest technologies and a clever drive-mode selector, drivers can fine-tune virtually every aspect of how this Japanese posh-rocket responds and behav

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic Cabriolet would be a frontrunner in this class even priced at the top end of the segment. Unlike many Mercedes-Benz models, which typically price themselves at the premium end of basically every luxury segment, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic Cabriolet is the first one in recent memory that’s wowed me with i

Not long ago, 300 was a big number when referring to the measure of a car’s horsepower. It’s a solid figure that sounds pretty impressive when describing the merits of one’s new ride at the country club or in the locker room. 400 is becoming the new 300 The trouble is we, the car-buying public, are a power-hungry bunch, whose appetite f

“So, you have disrespected my family?” says the Infiniti Q50 in badly dubbed English. “You are as cowardly as a frog!” ripostes the Acura TLX, its multi-faceted eyes rolling wildly, “I will defeat you with my secret praying mantis technique. Which I have just told you about so it is no longer secret. Ha!” “So be it! The one who is defeated he
