2010 Infiniti QX Review
The 2010 Infiniti QX series is marketed with noticeable changes and offered with a new addition; the Infiniti QX56. It is the large premium SUV for this 2010 model year. It is a luxury-trimmed edition from Nissan; the parent company of Infinity. The 5.6-liter V8 engine is matched to a single power-train along with five-speed automatic transmission.
The new QX is available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive mechanism that can be used on the dehydrated pavement as well as a low-range gear for the purpose of off-roading. The towing capacity of the engine is as high as 9000 lbs, which is far beyond the standard 6000-7000lbs mark.
Apart from the standard safety features like front side airbags, curtain side airbags, antiskid system, ABS, and traction control, this impressive vehicle has 2nd-row bucket seats/bench to accommodate up to eight passengers respectively. It also has a power-folding 3rd-row bench that splits in to 60/40.

Infiniti M45 Sport: Middleweight Thriller
In any category of car there’s always those obvious top-name picks that everybody seems to gravitate toward. Maybe it’s me-too-ism, or maybe it’s just people’s faith in certain apparently “sure-thing” brands. Whatever the underlying reasons for this phenomenon, in the world of luxury cars, the big names are evergreens BMW and Mercedes, along with more recent fave Lexus.
And then there’s Infiniti. Introduced at approximately the same time as Lexus, the nameplate hasn’t made nearly the impression that its biggest rival Japanese luxury brand has. And that’s a shame. This upscale Nissan division has offered its share of sophisticated machinery to rival Lexus and other luxury marques. And, in many cases, Infinitis have a livelier, sportier feel than those more-popular competitors.
But while the brand’s relative obscurity might be a bad thing for Infiniti, it’s certainly not a bad thing for Infiniti owners. Not those willing to forgo image projection in favor of real, satisfying automotive substance anyway. For such folks looking to get a top-notch midsize luxury car that won’t get lost in a sea of BMW 5-Series, Mercedes E-Classes, and Lexus GSs, the all-new Infiniti M45 fits the bill beautifully.
