Its the Japanese Escalade, period. Which is fine, as you stated some people want to be associated with that and there is a market for it. Some may feel the LX is too staid and not flashy enough for the price. Don't forget the FX has vender vent things too.
Range Rover for me please.

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 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.

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.

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.

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
