I was a guest of Infiniti at the Concours d'elegance in Pebble Beach, CA this past weekend. Infiniti used the opportunity to introduce us to their upcoming G37 convertible and give us an update on their new G37 sedan. Other brands had their concept cars and production cars out on display as well. Check out some of the photos below. Its a small sampling of what was there but you'll get the idea.

Infiniti gave us a sneak peak at the new 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible today. Making its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, the G37 Convertible gives Infiniti another product to draw people from their primary competitor, the BMW 3-series. From the looks of it,they won't have too much trouble attracting more customers. The photos looks great and if it drives like the coupe, they'll have a winner on their hands.

I just arrived here in Pebble Beach and while I missed the live showing of the hot new CTS sportwagon, the folks at GM provided some great video and photography below.

One man’s beauty may be another’s beast. Some of us focus solely on outward appearances—that’s you, frat boy--while other put a higher priority on a person’s character and personality.
The same set of rules applies to cars. Some of us are swayed by swoopy style and big-name badging, while others get turned on by fuel... Read Full Story
Stendalissimo on Wheels
By Joe LaMuraglia
I recently returned from Italy with a new briefcase that is too expensive and holds only a fraction of the bag it replaced. So why did I spend my hard-earned soldi that day in Florence on a bag that is smaller and pricier? Because it exudes craftsmanship and a sense of style that so uniquely Italian. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and when I made the mistake of picking it up, all bets were off.
I experienced the same sensory highjacking that... Read Full Story
