Infiniti changing naming structure, calling all Q models

Infiniti changing naming structure, calling all Q models


In what has to be the most convoluted move in attempting to create a brand identity, Infiniti has decided to rename all their models to have their names start with the letter Q, dropping the G, M, FX, EX, QX and even the new JX, names that they’ve worked all these years to build up.

What we drove this week was the new 2013 model, completely new in almost every possible way. But why would you be interested in a pickup review?
