BMW M3 Critical reception

Ezra Dyer of Automobile Magazine once suggested that "...car magazines generally regard the M3 the same way a four-year-old regards Santa Claus." Car and Driver praised the M3 so much that they placed the E90 M3 in first place in a comparison test against the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

2011 Impreza WRX STI Review

Subaru performance enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for the next Impreza WRX STI sedan. Finally, the wait is completed. For the 2011 model year, IMS will once again be available as a sedan.

Along with the hatchback, sedan STI has been engineered to be more precise. This includes a larger front and rear stabilizer bars, increased spring rates, and the rigid rear sub-frame bushings. And of course, the sedan features iconic STI rear spoiler, which has been set to increase downforce, while reducing the overall drag coefficient of a car.

Back for the 2011 model year, is strong in the STI's turbocharged VMAR BOXER ® engine, which cranks from 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a six-speed manual transmission and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Rally-tuned sport suspension, exclusive Brembo ® brake system, and the Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) to help keep all that power in check.

2011 Infiniti M Name

The "M" nameplate has been used on various mid-size cars from Infiniti. This includes the M30 Coupe/Convertible, and the M45 and M35 sedans, both of which are unrelated to the M30. The first-generation of the sedans are rebadged versions of the Japanese-spec Nissan Gloria, and later generations are based on the Nissan Fuga.
