I love the new Nissan Patrol, it's beautiful. Not sure about the QX56, I need to see it in person.

There is a difference between BLAND and UGLY. The LX is bland and this **** is most certainly F-UGLY!

Just my .02

The interior is the best that Infiniti offers.

The exterior goes towards the other end of the spectrum...

If only I could have the best of both worlds with this truck. I actually LIKE the styling on the previous gen even more after looking at this current one. If I could get the styling of the previous gen with the upgrades in interior and, hopefully, reliability of this newer one I would be one big happy!!

I think if it was in black there might be more people into it. I dont think the color does anything for the car

The Escalade or GL Series honestly still looks the best among these full-size SUVs though I would never buy one.

It's as though somebody took a 3 dimensional rendering of a once-handsome and well proportioned hypothetical QX56 and started playing with the model by dragging and stretching out various aspects of it - the hood, the tail lights, the list goes on - and Infiniti decided to produce this stretched out monstrosity instead.

Whoever "designed" that should be taken outside and offered a blindfold and last cigarette before being stood against a wall.

As well as those saying it looks fine

Not sure why the LX is being brought up as no one has ever called it beautiful here. As MP said it might be bland but it isn't ugly. Big difference.

The issue is that both points of view are subjective.
