2013 Infiniti FX37 AWD

FX37, a love-hate relationshipInfiniti’s racy FX37 sport-ute is a classic case for a love-hate relationship.If you enjoy performance, and don’t really expect such from a sport-ute, you’ve got to love how the FX37 responds.

2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring

New Mazda6 boasts power, looks and efficiency             Confession, my first new car was a Mazda, a puny little GLC with barely enough power to get me up a fair sized hill.
