2023 infiniti qx60 sensory awd

Infiniti has undoubtedly had its challenges in the past, but things are looking up thanks to vehicles like the redesigned QX60. After a second brush with the newly redesigned Infiniti QX60, I find that I better understand where the brand is heading, which is a good thing. Looking at the collective of the QX60 and its purpose while overlooking the few shortcomings I can see a bright horizon for Infiniti and the sales figures of the 2022 and 2023 QX60 will prove such, just sit back and wait.

Performance and Driving Character

For the 2023 model year, the Infiniti QX60 remains unchanged from its complete redesign from the 2022 model year. Having a second go at the new QX60 I’m quickly reminded of the definitive flaws it has but its luxury appeal and value overshadow those nitpicking issues, which remain to be the slow-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, the finicky

Thatcham Research: Trust in Automation: US and UK motorists’ behavioural quirks reveal Automated system design challenge

Thatcham Research is today revealing further insights from its Trust in Automation [1]study – which polled 2,000 motorists in the US and 2,000 in the UK – and found a significant disconnect between attitudes and behaviours on either side of the Atlantic.

American drivers are more likely to a see a benefit to self-driving or autonomous technology than British drivers: 81% versus 73% respectively. However, American and British drivers were aligned in seeing accident reduction through the removal of human error (21%) as the greatest potential benefit.

It follows therefore that American drivers are more enthusiastic for the imminent introduction of cars with limited self-driving technology like Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS); 11% stated they would buy a car with self-driving capability as soon as possible versus just 4% in the UK.

Asking drivers what they would miss most about driving a manually operated car also uncovered some

Automotive


The first step to any budget is getting some information on paper. You should already have a budget written out for your everyday bills and debts, but if you don’t, download a free template now and get it done. Of course, once you start the new one, or update the old one, some of the times you will have to budget for will just be an estimate.

Once you actually get a used car and everything that goes along with it, you will have to create another new version. That is what budgeting is all about, though. It is never set in stone because it must be adjusted as you move through life.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the things that you will have to add to your budget

How to Get an Auto Loan if Your Credit Score Isn’t Good : Automotive Addicts

Up to 16 percent of Americans currently have bad to fairly bad credit, which is about 108 million people with a FICO score of 300-579. 

In addition, no credit at all can reflect badly on your ability to make payments. 

But as Yahoo News states, many people feel stuck in a catch-22 when it comes to improving their credit

But there are steps to take to return to a healthy above-670 credit score. 

In this article, we will share some ideas on how to get a car loan even if your credit score is lacking.

Check (and Improve!) Your Credit Score

It’s important to know your credit score first before you decide the next step. If you have low credit, it’s not the same thing as repairing a number of debits.

Taking proactive measures to make sure your bills are paid on time, and reducing your debt through utility

Digital modelling key in designing Euro 7 compliant cars

The new Euro 7 emission standard proposal has been released, although negotiations are ongoing. Once a final version is agreed upon, it is expected to be implemented in 2025. As part of the process, the European Commission (EC) assembled emissions experts from across Europe to independently assess the shortfalls in existing car and truck emission standards. This group, the Consortium for ultra Low Vehicle Emissions (CLOVE), was asked to propose new emission limits and tests based on what is both economically and technically feasible.  

Car manufacturers have fiercely opposed the CLOVE proposals, lobbying against a stronger Euro 7 emissions standard and changes to car design, according to The European Federation for Transport and Environment. The federation warns that if the car industry is successful in weakening Euro 7, Europe risks putting almost 100 million more high-polluting cars on its roads in the decade between 2025 and 2035.

Everything You Need to Know About the Different Types of Car Insurance : Automotive Addicts

It is important for every motorist to have a strong understanding of the different types of car insurance so that they can find the right coverage for their needs. Car insurance is a legal requirement, but there are different levels of cover as well as a few optional types of coverage that should be considered. Read on for all that you need to know.

Third-Party Insurance

The most basic level of coverage is third-party insurance. Essentially, this is car insurance that will provide coverage for damage to someone else’s car or property and injuries caused by you to others as well as injuries to any passengers. While sometimes this is the cheapest option, this is not always the case as it is often the level of cover used by those deemed higher risk and this can push up premiums.

Third-Party, Fire & Theft

Exercise Bike Critiques

There’s nothing like taking a highway trip across the USA. Going by car gives you a better appreciation for the vastness and wide array of parks, forests, cities, museums, seashores and cultures the United States has to offer.

2023 Cadillac CT4-V RWD Review & Test Drive : Automotive Addicts

2023 cadillac ct4-v

The Cadillac brand has been riding on the cusp of greatness for many years but has not yet crest that line in my view but may be sitting just on it. However, with new innovative products and a last attempt to bring us something exciting in the luxury performance realm using internal combustion engines, the brand may be setting itself up for a ‘great’ future. Vehicles like the latest Cadillac CT4-V that I had a chance to review this week act as a filler to compete with the rest of the luxury performance market, not just the top tier where the new CT4-V Blackwing tends to hold a special position in the upper echelon of luxury performance for its class.

The Cadillac CT4-V (CT4 V-Series), which should not be confused with the more-powerful CT4-V Blackwing sibling, is more of a competitor to run against the Audi S3, BMW M235i Gran
