IN a world now dominated by the SUV I must say that the Infiniti Q60S felt like a breath of fresh air when it arrived on my doorstep – a good looking, sleek coupe whose looks are, thankfully, matched by its performance.
A replacement for the under-rated Infiniti G37 coupe, this V6-powered Q60S goes up against some stiff German competition … Read the rest
SMALLER than Kia’s best-selling Sportage model, the Stonic is an out-and-out B-Segment SUV which means it’s entering the fastest growing market out there. Sales of these compact SUVs is expected to exceed 2 million in Europe by 2020.

THE BMW X2 is a brand-new model for the German company and also sees them introduce a brand-new acronym: SAC, or Sports Activity Coupe.

THE new Lexus LC 500 surprises on a couple of levels. First off it’s surprising that it remains virtually identical to the visually-stunning LF-LC concept car that was revealed in 2012, and secondly it’s surprising at just how accomplished this 2+2 sports coupe is to drive.
