I don't think you understand. According to this board, everything Infiniti puts out is junk, non-competitive with anything else in its class, overweight, and leases for 0 money down, $99/month. Didn't you get that memo yet?

4,600lbs may very well be acceptable, but it's not doing Infiniti any favors.
It doesn't help that when I look at QX60 Hybrid reviews, I see owners complaining about sub-par MPG. At least with the Highlander, you get an extra 30hp to move that additional 200lbs.

I don't know much about the hybrid version but I was very impress with the gasoline version during a test drive. My ex gf is a dog handler and she reviewed a few suv's and this is the only one she kept talking about over and over again.

I've driven two very extensively (as in for multiple days) one was fully loaded. I'm unsure how this vehicle with lowest hp in class with very questionable materials is worth 50k let alone 60k. The hybrid here barely offers any improvements compared to the RX 350 to RX 450h. What impressed me most about the JX was the rear 3rd row was quite spacious and usable for a vehicle this size (I find the new Higlander 3rd row a joke for adults).
That said consumers surely have no issue with it since it sells very well but its would not be the first time a vehicle is purchased that is quite average.

Considering the existence of a possible price floor, likely due to the directly related Pathfinder at highly equipped levels, it may not be to fair to rather chastise Infiniti based on pricing. The QX60 is already under a luxury badge and from my impression was done correctly material-wise (at least for MY2013), so the regular QX60 is already priced sensibly as against other competitors. I may be biased, as I already was impressed by the interior of my parents' QX56 and expected that the JX35 would follow similarly.
The only way it would reach over the base prices and towards a peak $61k in AWD Hybrid form is via class competitive optional equipment ($14-15k), so one should rather direct any frustration towards Infiniti's pricing of the optional extras and if the Hybrid is truly worth an extra $3,000.
If someone wants a very basic QX60 Hybrid, they can get one quite below $50k. The materials will understandably be the same as in both a basic and well-equipped version (at $61k), as Infiniti has yet to invest properly in the options of upgrading interior material appointments (sans wood accents) from initial specification. As evident of the updated QX80 (Limited), that may soon be possible.
At the moment the QX60 material quality is acceptable to me at the base price. I guess I've never expected as much at this level, as I usually would with Jaguar or Bentley.

I don't know if Infiniti changed the interior or materials any with the renaming of the JX35 to the Q60 (I probably should have checked one out a few days ago when I was at the Infiniti shop reviewing the Q50). But,when I reviewed the JX35, I was very impressed with the interior quality. Even its lower-priced Nissan Pathfinder brother was well-done inside.

no need to be quite so dramatic. just about all brands here have their fans and detractors.
