I don't know if I would call it a Japanese Escalade. I personally don't like either one, but at least the Escalade is not ugly. It bling bling, tacky, but it appeals to people with huge gansta chains and gold teeth. The Infiniti is just ugly.

 

Put some 24'son the new Infinit and get it in black and I am sure you would want to take a cruise down the sunset strip in it on a saturday night.




People need to realize that there is no such thing as an attractive SUV. They are all ugly. You just have to find one that is more appealing and less ugly to you.

 

I'm really sick of this stereotype because it's not true. There are as many, if not more, average suburban moms and dads driving these as anyone.

I wish people wouldn't profile a vehicle to a certain type. Everyone was saying the the old QX was ugly, blah, blah, blah. Well guess what? They sold tons of em. This will probably pan out the same way.

 

looks like it's getting great reviews all around.
good job infiniti!

 

What? There are attractive SUVs around and some are much less offensive than others. The new VW Tourag looks pretty good and so does the Ford Edge and others.

You didn't read the reviews did you.

 

I don't know how many they sold, but I know that they were discounted up to 20k off the MSRP.

 

Looks as weird as the LX570 did when it 1st came out

If the side air vents serve the same purpose as the 2nd gen FX35/50 then here is the purpose: For 2009, distinctive side air vents have been added behind the front wheels. Like everything else on the FX, the new side air vents are about function, not mere ornamentation. They allow air to flow through the engine compartment and out the side of the vehicle, reducing front end lift by a full five percent, improving high speed stability.

 

pros:
strong engine
refined
handles well for a truck
excellent interior
lower priced than the competition
infiniti reliability

cons:
less room than outgoing model
fair ride quality

what did i read wrong?

 

This can replace Aztek to be the most ugly SUV to date.

 

I like the Nissan Patrol much better.

 

pretty cool. I like the look of this new SUV . I think the lines are fresh and modern. It looks nicer than the last generation. Good job Nissan / Infiniti

 

That's a great example of badge engineering. They did a good job differentiating both (better than Lexus did with the Prado and GX IMO).

 

A HUGE + 1

The interior of the QX56 is probably the nicest in it's class. I will have to actually see and feel in person to confirm.

 

I assume white is a popular color there, for good reason.

 

same here in AZ. I think white is the most common color for cars
