Infiniti JX Concept

The Infiniti JX Concept, a preview of an innovative new 7-passenger/3-row luxury crossover that joins the Infiniti lineup in spring 2012, made its world debut at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Infiniti JX Concept was unveiled by Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura prior to its display throughout the weekend's activities at the famed Lodge at Pebble Beach.
"The JX Concept advances the Infiniti design language, sharing design cues of the Infiniti Essence concept, yet interprets those elements in ways suitable to the needs of a family luxury crossover," said Nakamura. "From the dramatic front grille and headlight design to the crescent-cut D-pillar and greenhouse shape, the Infiniti JX Concept shines as a fresh, bold alternative to the many flavors of vanilla currently dominating the three-row luxury crossover segment."

Beyond its stunning exterior, the new Infiniti JX Concept is designed to excel in three areas where luxury crossover buyers put an emphasis - interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and innovative hospitality features.
"The three-row luxury crossover segment is one of the fastest growing among all luxury vehicle segments, providing a huge opportunity for Infiniti," explained Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore. "And like every segment Infiniti enters, we plan to shake up the status quo - with a vehicle that is guaranteed to instantly become the new benchmark for style, hospitality, roominess, advanced telematics and safety technologies."
In the interior, for example, the production Infiniti JX will offer what is expected to be class-leading roominess, along with a 2nd row seat design that tilts and slides forward providing exceptionally easy 3rd row access.

"With the JX, you will even be able to leave a child seat latched to the 2nd row while getting in or out of the 3rd row - just one example of the vehicle's inspired flexibility and versatility," added Poore. "The 3rd row isn't the typical penalty box either, with adult-sized room for all occupants and five-and-a-half inches of 2nd row forward-back adjustability."
The Infiniti JX continues Infiniti's tradition of developing world's first technologies, offering the currently available Blind Spot Intervention and adding a new feature, Backup Collision Intervention. With this technology, when the transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing objects behind the vehicle and, if necessary, the system will automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision.
The Infiniti JX will also offer technologies designed to make owners lives a bit easier and more efficient, such as a 14-speaker Bose® Studio Surround® sound system with Waveguide bass technology and an advanced Infiniti Connection Telematics system that can automatically synch the owner's calendar and provide navigation guidance to appointments. It will also feature the Infiniti Personal Assistant, Infiniti's new personal concierge service with 24-hour access to a live team of professional assistants. The Infiniti Personal Assistant benefit is now offered free-of-charge with every 2012 Infiniti vehicle purchase.
And, in keeping with Infiniti's "Inspired Performance," the Infiniti JX will offer a balance of driving exhilaration and fuel efficiency through a combination of a powerful V6 engine and all-wheel or front-wheel drive. The Infiniti JX will also be the first Infiniti to utilize a sport-tuned, but fuel-efficient continuously variable transmission. The CVT will mimic a step transmission when the Sport mode of the Infiniti drive selector is engaged. Additional information regarding the drivetrain and other systems will be provided at the debut of the production version of the all-new Infiniti JX at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2011.

"As a premium crossover with a real 3rd row - along with Infiniti levels of hospitality and driving pleasure, the new JX is another breakthrough design from the brand that has been breaking new ground for more than 20 years," Nakamura added. "We will continue to challenge conventional thinking."

Taking Care Of Truck Trailer Parts For Preventive Maintenance

by: Mike Selvon

The sheer size and weight of a semi trailer tractor will make it extremely difficult to control once a chain of events leading to an accident gets started. You need to be sure that none of the truck trailer parts are faulty or worn by being sure to have preventative maintenance performed frequently. As well, you should always double check everything before heading out on the road.

Buying a commercial truck trailer is a big investment, as the total cost can easily exceed the cost of a new home, yet it can be used to generate a nice income as well. Often, the biggest expense for these rigs is the truck trailer repair, considering the cost of parts and labor these days. In addition to those costs you need to keep in mind that as an owner you are not generating any income when your vehicle is down for repairs, which is why it is so important to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape.

When you purchase a new tractor semi trailer you will normally receive a warranty that covers the vehicle for a period of time, usually about one year or until you reach a certain number of miles. Sometimes you will also be given the opportunity to buy an extended warranty and for some this may be a good investment, especially if you plan to keep the vehicle for several years.

Of course, many semi drivers can drive thousands and at times hundreds of thousands of miles without having any major problems by simply taking care of the truck trailer parts with routine preventative maintenance.

It is also a good idea to have some money set aside for the parts truck trailer repairs and maintenance, such as for the brakes, wheels, transmission and even the truck trailer hitch. As a matter of fact, many companies will set a driver up with what is called a maintenance fund.

A certain amount is put into the fund every pay period and then if you need repairs done, then the money is taken out of the fund. Repairs to a semi trailer tractor can quickly reach thousands of dollars so having some money set aside for it can be a big help.

If the dealership where you purchased your truck does not offer an extended warranty to cover your future repair truck trailer needs, then you can always check around with some of the independent insurance companies to see what they have to offer. However, keep in mind that not all policies are the same and not all cover the major truck trailer parts so be sure to ask them if their coverage includes these parts before purchasing the warranty.
