We cover some cool stuff like the new Ford Focus, MINI Countryman, FIAT 500, Lamborghini LF 550-2, the A-Team and more. We’ll be back tomorrow with more from the floor of the show. Hosted by Derek DeAngelis.
After a quite entertaining piece of both gravity and physiology-defying strangeness from some smiley Cirque de Soleil performers (Infiniti is the official sponsor of Cirque de Soleil), Infiniti’s product boss Carlos Tavares took the wraps off the all-new QX56. Based not on the Nissan Armada chassis (like the previous QX56) but instead on the heavy-duty Patrol, the new QX56 is a large, eight passenger “5-Star Luxury” body on frame SUV. That said, Infiniti managed to shed over 100 pound of flab compared to the 2010 QX56. Speaking of the 2010 iteration, the previous QX56 is roundly regarded as one of the most awkward and ungainly looking luxo-barges, well, ever. In fact, if we were to put together a museum exhibit about the uncontrolled and obnoxious wild excesses of the just-ended SUV craze, the old QX would get top billing right next to a Hummer H2 and the Cadillac Escalade EXT. The new QX56 changes all that. It’s world’s better looking. We’d even go so far as to state that it has a certain Middle Eastern chic to it. Put it like this: if you had to cruise around your kingdom checking oil wells what would you rather be driving? Infiniti is billing the QX56 as an eight-passenger private jet. Mr. Tavares must have said the word “luxury” a dozen times in his ten-minute presentation. Judging by our time with the all-new 2011 M37 and M56, we can declare then when they want to, Infiniti is fully capable of building a world-class interior. In the 2011 QX56, even the third-row …
This is a High Performance Driving Event with the Tarheel Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America, held October 1st and 2nd at Virginia International Raceway. I drove my 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP with manual transmission. This was a full-course run. Just before going, I’d upgraded the bushings and suspension arms in the front and rear of the vehicle, and I was glad I had. It performed like a champ. The adjustable sway bars in the front and rear were set to 1/2 and 2/3, respectively. Next time I need to bump up the rear bar a level and go with some better tires. These were Continental ExtremeContact DWS all-season tires. They did very well considering their all-season nature, but I’d much prefer a good set of summer performance tires, like the Potenza RE-11’s from Bridgestone.
It’s Monday, so Matt decides to do his two favorite things: drive on empty roads and ride roller coasters without waiting in line. We take the BMW 1M to California’s finest empty roads to see what the hype is about
