ROLLE, Switzerland - The new Infiniti Q50 sports saloon made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show today with all the prerequisites needed to build a strong new level of customer engagement across Europe in the premium class.
Infiniti is proud to announce it has been ranked second overall and among luxury brands in the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study. Infiniti improved 52 points year-over-year, placing the brand up eight rank positions among all brands from 2011.
Parenting magazine has
recognized the Infiniti JX as one of the year's "Smartest Family Cars"
in its February 2012 issue, on stands now. The list is featured in Parenting's
first-ever "Genius" issue, dedicated to helping parents unlock their
child's own unique genius potential. Equipped with the latest
technology to help ease the load of managing the modern tribe, the
Infiniti JX allows parents and kids to take advantage of some of the
smartest automotive features on the market.
The Infiniti JX, which goes on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide
this spring, debuts the new Backup Collision Intervention system, the
latest of many advanced safety and security systems brought to market
first in recent years by Infiniti. With this technology, when the
transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing
vehicles behind the JX and, if necessary, the system can automatically
engage the brakes to help avoid a collision.
The 2013 IPL G Convertible, the second model in the Infiniti Performance
Line lineup, unleashes performance from a top-down, wide-open,
wind-in-your-face perspective. It is scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti
retailers nationwide in spring 2012.
Also on display at the show is an actual Red Bull Racing F1 car, part of
the historic team that has been a major force in the world's most
competitive racing circuit. Supported by the inspired partnership with
Infiniti, Red Bull Racing dominated the 2011 F1 season, winning 12 of 19
Grand Prix events in 2011 and 24 wins in the last 41 races - an
extraordinary record of consistency and speed. For the 2012 season,
Infiniti branding will be featured more prominently on Red Bull Racing's
cars with enhanced logos on the side of the chassis and the top of the
cockpit.
Maintaining a regular schedule for rotating your tires helps to ensure even tire wear and helps your tires last longer. Rotating your tires involves changing their position on the vehicle from one wheel location to another. All tire manufacturers recommend rotating your tires regularly. In fact, failing to do so could void the manufacturer's warranty. Rotate tires at the vehicle manufacturers' recommended intervals or at 5,000 to 7,000 miles if not specified.
There are two different schools of thought on how often you should rotate your tires on front wheel drive vehicles. The front tires on these vehicles tend to wear quicker than those on the rear of the vehicle. By rotating the tires front to rear and side to side the wear patterns between the wheel locations spread the wear out more evenly, allowing you to extend the life of all four of your tires.
Others argue it makes more sense to replace the front tires on a front wheel vehicle as they wear out, but to leave the back tires alone. This plan is especially effective if you do a lot of driving or plan to keep the vehicle a long time. It is estimated that the back tires will last as long as two sets of front tires.
To find out what rotation pattern would be best for your vehicle and tires, consult one of our highly trained Service Advisors in the Infiniti of Willow Grove Service Department.
