The new electric sports car, slated for an introduction at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, will expand Infiniti’s ‘inspired performance’ mantra for the brand even further.

Is Infiniti Changing To FWD For Future Models?

One of the things that’s led to Infiniti’s success in the luxury market is the handling of its automobiles.
