Default Has Infiniti just signaled its commitment to BOF mobiles?



vs



Does this new design theme mean everythings better and BOF luxury market will be amply stocked?


Side notes:
Ugly as it might be the QX80 is way better value then anything Japanese, BOF, and V8 in the front. Heck you can pick up one of these well equipped for the price of a L certified pre-LCI LXes.

Nissan quality (not as reliable as toyota but better then anything else out there) and depreciation
Japanese Built
Safety tech suites

The latest refreshed helped it, but the QX80 always looked like a baleen whale to me.

I DO, though, like the idea of soft, truly comfortable seats, which too many of even luxury vehicles lack today.

The more upright look definitely helps it. Also, it differentiates it from the Nissan Armada, which looks very similar for lots less money.

Yup had some extended 2nd row seat time on a recent trip, and DAMMMMMMMM those seats are comfy. Tahoe, caddie seats are nice, the GX seats are really thin on the bottom, but the Infiniti Qx80 seats are just out of this world. Heck the diamond patterning on the seats and door jams felt Desingo MB

Yup same internals and everything (might have a couple less locking diffs) but same vehicle for a price delta of upto $40k
