Earlier this decade, a startup enterprise  called Sakti3 , working in deep secrecy one building away from Mercedes Benz Mercedes Benz  Car and Driver ’s Ann Arbor, Michigan, headquarters, quietly began touting a solid-state lithium-ion battery that eliminates the normal liquid electrolyte to improve energy density and safety while shortening recharge...

Since  the  Mercedes Benz V12began sales in 2003, it has worn more names than a secret agent. Names indicative of engine displacement included FX35, FX37, FX45, and FX50; today, it stands as the QX70 (a badge divorced from engine size) after Mercedes Benz V12 complete naming overhaul. Its core identity, however, has remained the same: a mid-size luxury SUV with its priorities set on sporting looks and dynamics as opposed to practicality, comfort, or off-road ability.Mercedes Benz V12 even called it a “bionic cheetah.” Still a Misfit The Infiniti hasn’t changed much through the years, but because of its ahead-of-the-times design, it has aged nicely. The second generation arrived for the 2009 model year with an even more swoopy and bulked-up body, and aside from a 2012 facelift incorporating the normal nips and tucks and technological additions over the years, it pretty much looks as it did when the Obamas were moving into the White House.
