CNET have published a review of the 2011 Infiniti M56x sedan. 'The M56x gets a new feature called Forest Air, a nice little trick that varies the air conditioning fan speed. The intent of this feature is to create the sensation of a forest breeze rather than the steady wind produced by standard air conditioning systems. With Forest Air set in its fast mode, the fan deviation happened too quickly for us to notice much of a difference, but in its low speed mode, it worked as advertised, adding a nice atmospheric effect to the cabin.'

The Truth About Cars have published their review of the 2011 Infiniti M37. 'The new Infiniti M is offered with a 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and a 420-horsepower 5.6-liter V8. The latter is the clear choice for torque junkies who can never get enough. For nearly everyone else, including most driving enthusiasts, the sampled V6's noise output will be more of an issue than its power output. This V6 is perhaps the loudest in the segment despite the thoroughly sealed engine compartment. What might be fitting for a sports cars on the open road--and even then a sweeter song would be welcome--can come across as unseemly in a luxury sedan on suburban streets. Your ears will tell you to take it easy lest you attract unwanted attention.'

The Truth About Cars have published a review of the 2010 Infiniti EX35. 'While other manufacturers seek a futuristic, high-tech ambiance, the EX's interior has a warmer, more traditional vibe that owes much to the British. The materials are soft to the touch, the curvy surfaces flow smoothly into one another, and both the instrument cluster hood and the door panels are nicely upholstered. Wood rather than some sort of faux metal covers much of the center stack and center console. Logically designed and arranged controls avoid the overwhelming sea of buttons found in too many competitors. Knobs for the primary HVAC and audio system functions are relatively small and have a smooth, quality feel. Everything is close at hand.'

CNET have published a review of the 2010 Infiniti FX35 RWD SUV. 'First up is the issue of visibility. The FX's high window sills, curvaceous hood, and tiny rear window potentially make simple low-speed actions, such as parallel parking, into nerve-racking ordeals. Infiniti's answer to this is the Around View Monitor (AVM). This system features an array of cameras located at the front and rear of the vehicle and in the undersides of the sideview mirrors. In addition to the standard rearview camera and the not-so-standard front view camera with trajectory lines, the system can also stitch together views from all four cameras to create a virtual bird's-eye view of the area surrounding the vehicle. Users can see painted ground markings, other vehicles, and other potential obstructions.'.

Inside Line have published their "test driven" review of the 2011 Infiniti M37 sedan. 'Once we went to the test track, the 2011 Infiniti M37 showed us that it had lost the high-performance edge of the M37S, yet it's still respectable by luxury car standards. Some of the variation is attributable to the lack of rear steer, and some is due to the less aggressive rubber that gradually lost bite as the test runs piled on. Where the M37S with its Bridgestone Potenza RE050A summer/performance tires clung to the pavement with 0.86g in lateral force, the M37 with its Michelin Primacy MXM4 all-season tires still posted 0.84g lateral acceleration. Not a huge decline in performance, wouldn't you agree?'

Inside Line have published a review of the 2011 Infiniti M37S. 'Infiniti has priced the M37 for the value-conscious, not the hood-ornament-conscious. The $57,115 MSRP of our test car is thousands less than a comparably equipped BMW 535i or Mercedes E350, which dominate this premium sedan segment. We should also point out that our test car was extremely well equipped. In fact, it was loaded with nearly $10 grand in option packages that increased its luxury and performance, but might not be necessary for everyone.'

Popular Mechanics have published their "test driven" review of the 2011 Infiniti M37 and M56 sedans. 'Under the hood of the $46,250 M37 is the familiar 3.7-liter VQ-series V6, now rated at 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. But the biggest news, for those who relish the thrust from V8 power, is the motor in the $57,550 M56. The new 5.6-liter V8 is rated at 420 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired to a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive is optional. M37s are rated to deliver 18 mpg city and 26 highway, while the V8 M56 model's performance dips slightly to 16 mpg city and 25 highway. Like nearly every other car in Infiniti's lineup--with the exception of the hulking QX56 SUV--the new M sedans ride on an updated version of the company's FM platform. This architecture is so flexible it can underpin cars as varied in size and mission as the Nissan 370Z and the Infiniti FX crossovers.'

LeftLane have published a review of the 2010 Infiniti G37S Convertible. 'A six-speed gear lever occupies prime real estate in the center console, as do the seat warmers and the roof control module. Speaking of roof, we love the concept of topless motoring. But with the clamshell style of roofs now en vogue, certain arrangements need to be made. You must be prepared in one of two ways: First is to travel extremely lightly so you can stash your baggage in the back seat while the roof is open, or second, try to carry all your accoutrements in the trunk and once you arrive at your destination, unload your belongings and then put down the roof. The folded roof takes up quite a bit of luggage space - just as it does in BMW's 3-Series and Lexus's IS C.'

Search Chicago have published a review of the 2009 Infiniti G37 sedan. 'The G37 sedan is available in four trim levels: base G37, Journey, Sport and the all-wheel-drive G37x. While the standard configuration for the G37 is rear-wheel drive, I had the chance to test the G37x and its AWD system, which performed admirably in some terrible Chicago area weather conditions. The star of the show, which sort of hides in the background, is this AWD system that takes the RWD platform and makes it an all-season sedan. That is nothing to dismiss if you come out of work to find 8 inches of snow on the ground.'

Inside Line have published their "test driven" review of the 2011 Infiniti M56. 'Based on the second-generation FM platform that currently underpins the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti's FX50 and G37, the new 2011 Infiniti M56 introduces minor changes in overall length and height compared to its predecessor, while the front track increases 1.4 inches and the rear by 0.8 inch. More significant, Nissan has widened the M by 2 inches and kept the same wheelbase as before. Thus the 2011 M56 suggests "premium" in the way that only a more spacious cabin can.The soft, flowing lines of the redesigned M series are deadly effective at two things. One, they create visual ties to the Essence showcar (as well as the slightly smaller G37 sedan), and two, they instantly make the 2009 M appear dated, narrow and even a bit frumpy.'
