Reviews SummaryDespite the increasing popularity of crossovers and SUVs, there are still plenty of shoppers hungry for a good old-fashioned sedan. For one, sedans handle better. They’re also generally less expensive and, to some eyes, far better looking. For yet another year, the 2023 Infiniti Q50 offers shoppers style and performance in an otherwise crossover-obsessed world. The question is, considering the market trends in favour of SUVs, are style and performance enough to generate sales? | |
Reviews SummaryAfter a substantial refresh for the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lexus IS lineup returns with a handful of minor updates and a significant improvement in performance. The new Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance also debuts this year, packing a normally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 and laugh-riot driving dynamics. If you’re among the driving enthusiasts who miss the discontinued Lexus GS F, this is a credible substitute. | |
