I love that bmw is getting into turbo engines and I hope they’ll get better at it in the future, but judging by how the n5x cars have been doing, I’m kind of skeptical of the n20s, for now.

I don’t like the lack of designation between models. I really like the m56x right now. There is nothing in the new scheme to differentiate it from a base model m45 except the price tag.

> The Infiniti Emerg-E is a two-place hybrid gasoline-electric concept that made its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. While its sleek shape and stunning styling dropped jaws, those on the green side of things immediately recognized it as a reskinned and updated Lotus 414E – itself a concept based on the Evora that debuted at the same show only two years earlier. Yet there is little wrong with a reworked, Infiniti-badged Lotus boasting 402 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, especially when it features a lightweight, all-aluminum bonded chassis beneath an attractive carbon fiber skin penned by the automaker’s Southern California design team.

And it’s time for me to get a boner over the Essence again:

> revelations from an insider, point the way to an all-new flagship Infiniti sedan targeting the likes of the Porsche Panamera.
> 
> The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge debuted at the Detroit show without specs. It revealed its secrets in Geneva, surprising everyone when it was announced to pack none other than the GT-R’s 560-hp, V-6 twin-turbo engine. But there’s more to come: An as-yet-unnamed flagship four-door sedan will sit **above** the Q50 in Infiniti’s lineup. That is the image you see below-- a long-nosed, sumptuous sedan heavily **based on the Essence** with mind-boggling powerplants. Try a 700-hp twin-turbo hybrid for size.
