Infiniti will debut its new seven-passenger JX as part of this year's Pebble Beach festivities, and a third teaser image of the crossover has just been released on the Interwebs. This latest teaser is the third installment in Infiniti's seven-week-long rollout, leading up to the JX's official debut in mid-August. In the first and second images, we got a glimpse at the crossover's headlamps and taillamps, but now, the driver's side is being shown, complete with an Etherea-like design kink in the D-pillar.

This past weekend, the Formula One circus rolled into Eifel for the German Grand Prix. And though it was campaigned once again at the Nürburgring, the race was held on the GP-Strecke. The infamous Nordschleife hasn't been used for F1 racing since the early 80s, when it was deemed too dangerous for modern open-wheelers. But while they were on site, championship leaders Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and their sponsor Infiniti didn't miss the opportunity for a little wheel-to-wheel action around the Green Hell.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance's premium marque that powers Seb's and Mark's Red Bull race cars put the duo on the Norschleife in a pair of Infiniti Ms, but here's the kicker: while Webber got the keys to the M37s sport sedan, Vettel climbed into the M35h hybrid.

So which driver had the advantage? Considering that Infiniti claims that the M35h is the world's quickest hybrid sedan and its most powerful car on the market - hitting 62 mph from a standstill in 5.5 seconds versus the conventional M37s' 6.2 - it looks like Vettel was set to get the jump on his elder wingman once again.

The Infiniti QX56 full-size luxury SUV might be best known for its leather-trimmed, 7-passenger interior and technological advances like the world?s first Around View? Monitor, but its real claim to fame could be its powerful, 400-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 engine and 8,500-pound towing capacity. Now, in a unique twist on putting the cart before the horse, Infiniti has embarked on a one-off project to add QX power to what?s being towed ? a boat modified around a QX engine and designed with the luxury, performance and craftsmanship of its flagship SUV.

In what is being called the first truly performance driven hybrid sedan, Infiniti is making it clear that creating a hybrid car is every bit as important as creating a car that is still fun to drive. The vehicle, known as the M35 Hybrid (or M35h), is already creating quite an impression on the automotive industry as a whole. After all, how can a hybrid inspired by the Infiniti M35 not attract attention?

As more people turn towards Hybrid technology, Washington will continue to push automaker's to higher standards for fuel economy. In fact, regulators have already determined the next bar of fuel economy standards. One proposal that is currently being considered would raise the bar of the average fuel economy requirements to 62 MPG by the year 2025. ¹

That sounds like quite a task for automakers, and a very nice prospect for motorists. But, 2025…
