To say I was annoyed with myself would be a dramatic understatement. Understeer?! Really? I’m driving a twin-turbo, RWD, V6 sport sedan and I’m scrubbing the fronts two turns into the handling course. Frankly, I’m ashamed of myself. There’s really no need for it. Luckily, Infiniti has a solution. 400 of them in fact. So I brush the brake to pin

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

Peer pressure is a funny thing. We’re told as kids not to succumb to it, that just because little Billy or Sally does something, it doesn’t mean we need to do it too. This parental wisdom of course stems from the desire to keep children from being encouraged to make foolish choices that will surely result in hardship. Despite tipping the scal

With the Q50 having failed to give Infiniti a proper rival to the BMW 3 Series in the sport sedan sweepstakes since its 2014 introduction, the Japanese upscale brand has turned to horsepower – and lots of it – to boost the Q50's appeal for coming model year. Headlining the 2015 Q50 's updated engine range is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (dubbed VR3

Vehicle Type Luxurious cabin and quality feel, a dense and solid but comfortable drive on almost anything, a nearly invisible AWD system… Compact sedan History/Description The Infiniti Q50 hit dealer lots in 2013 in advance of the following model year, replacing the popular G37 with an all-new model and incorporating a name change

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. I-Line (Inspired Line, though we’re unsure of how inspired that branding actually is) cars get a blacked-out grille, black finish wheels that run 19 inches o

The pace at which the automotive market evolves these days is dizzying. The Infiniti Q50 3.0t Sport strikes a balance between power, driveability, and price. Considered a standout under-$50,000 upmarket sedan when it launched a few years ago, the Infiniti Q50 became an effective gateway to transition buyers into the premium set. Its rel

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

Dan says: I don’t know about you, but I like an underdog. With the exception of professional hockey, where I support a certain team fervently, I seem to always cheer for the dark horse in sports where I don’t really belong to any single fanbase. I liked Cleveland in last year’s NBA finals. Wanted more than anything for New England to bow in the Su

Infiniti has decided to step up their game in the popular not-so-compact-anymore luxury sedan segment. They have been working hard to break out of the mold of quiet, under-the-radar luxury by introducing designs with a little more personality to them and on that note, here's what Infiniti came up with: the upgraded Q50 sports sedan. Most of the

Infiniti: it ain't nothin' but a G-thang. Well, it used to be – if Acura and Lexus are primarily crossover-slinging Japanese luxury manufacturers, then Infiniti was the company that most went toe-to-toe with BMW in the sports sedan department. Bimmer dealt the 3, Infiniti dealt the G, and everyone was happy. However, those days are long over, an

Infiniti's Q50 sport sedan has been recalled to fix a software problem that could cause the car's "direct adaptive steering" system to malfunction. Infiniti and Transport Canada say that in some Q50 models sold as 2014 through 2016 models, if the battery is weak and the car is parked with the front wheels turned, that combination of fact

Infiniti has announced pricing for the 2016 Q50 2.0t and Q50 hybrid AWD models, starting at $39,900 for the 2.0t AWD. The Q50 has been on the market since 2013, but this year marks the addition of a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the new base trim. This is a Mercedes-sourced engine developing 208 hp. Also available is the 2.0t AWD pre

Infiniti’s latest sports sedan carries forward almost unchanged styling into 2016 – but don’t think that means nothing has changed. There are two whole new engines, and it’s the biggest and best of them that packs the mightiest wallop. The 400-hp Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 is the first Infiniti to bear the new “Red Sport” tag – and you can exp

Infiniti will be showing off a pair of new cars at the Geneva Motor Show next week. There will be a refreshed Q50 sedan, but the big news is Project Black S: a new high-performance hybrid coupe. Project Black S is a collaboration between Infiniti and the RenaultSport Formula 1 team. Based on the 2017 Infiniti Q60 coupe , it has F1-inspired aero
