Infiniti has been a leader in affordable luxury cars for quite some time, and the manufacturer is set to unveil the latest addition to its line up. USA Today reports that the JX Concept, a crossover SUV, will join the Infiniti fleet sometime next year.

The sleek car, which features three rows and enough seating for seven passengers, will make its first appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California, but already it is making waves within the auto industry.

Among the numerous features included in the JX Concept is a collision avoidance system that works in reverse that alerts drivers of objects in their path when they're backing up. Additionally, its third row is more spacious and less confining than other similar vehicles.

"The third row isn't the typical penalty box either, with adult-sized room for all occupants and 5.5 inches of second-row forward-back adjustability," Ben Poore told the news source.

Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of used crossover vehicle will want to stop by New Jersey Auto Auction, which provides consumers with a wide variety of makes and models at affordable prices.

The advent of Apple's iPad has made things easier in many areas of life, and car dealerships are about to get in on the action. USA Today reports that Mazda is close to equipping their dealers with the popular tablets so that they can instantly access pertinent information when talking to potential customers.

The initiative has made its way to 50 dealerships across the country, but the company hopes that it will be present in all of them at some point. By outfitting dealers with iPads, Mazda hopes it will provide more transparency and allow them to showcase the benefits of the models. Additionally, it will give dealers the opportunity to back up their claims.

"Customers who are skeptical about a sales claim can get proof, right there on the tablet," sales consultant Wayne Xides told the news source. "We can pull it up instantaneously."

Drivers who want to get behind the wheel of a used Mazda, may want to head to New Jersey Auto Auction, which offers plenty of makes and models at affordable prices.

As the school year rapidly approaches, many families will be faced with having to bring kids from activity to activity. This can be especially tough if parents are involved in carpools and will need a bigger car to accommodate all the children. Luckily, used SUVs have dropped in price since January, and there are certain models that stand out above the rest.

According to a study conducted by CarGurus, the most cost-effective used SUV for families is the 2008 GMC Acadia. This spacious vehicle can seat eight passengers, making it a good fit for parents who have to take lots of kids from place to place. Additionally, it gets an efficient 24 miles per gallon on the highway, all for under $25,000.

As for crossover models, the 2008 Honda Pilot is an excellent pick, experts say. It can fit eight children as well, while costing drivers under $20,000.

"If you are looking to upsize your car and save money, now is a good time to be shopping for used cars and specifically for SUVs, crossovers, and minivans, which have not seen the dramatic price increases of many compact models," CarGurus CEO Langley Steinert said.
