Infiniti has a niche car with the FX. When the first FX arrived, it was unlike anything that'd come before. To this day, no automaker has quite perfected the FX's unique blend of sport wagon and crossover. According to Infiniti, the FX has a style reminiscent of a "bionic cheetah."

Infiniti has itself a winning team. Last year, after the Red Bull Racing team won the championship, Infiniti inked a sponsorship deal with them. Recently, the automaker and Red Bull deepened that bond and announced an extension of their arrangement.

Infiniti is taking its luxury vehicles to the next level as it sets its eyes on competing globally with some of the most recognizable luxury brands in the business. Based on what Infiniti debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Chicago Infiniti QX56 owners think the automaker will be a fierce competitor.

It's safe to say hybrid vehicles have come a long way. Especially for everyday commuters, they're pretty much able to tackle any challenge. For the high-speed motorists, there are likely still a few skeptics. However, Infiniti has left them stunned after its recent record-setting performance.
