While I may have only been four years old, I was fortunate as my uncle bought a 1990 Infiniti Q45 and kept it until I was 15 years old. I grew up with it, and was able to learn its importance. ALSO SEE: Time Machine Test Drive: 1996 300ZX Twin-Turbo Unfortunately, my uncle sold that Q45 just before I turned 16, and I never had a chance to actually drive it on the road. [Side note: looking back, I was...

  • Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen checking out the competition

    Since taking over the reins at Cadillac last year, Johan de Nysschen has been dropping plenty of hints about the brand’s future. While the hints have tended to focus on new high-end product from Cadillac, of more importance to the brand’s sales performance is the need to fill some gaping holes in more mainstream segments.
