    Because I want to be the first. and than I can call out reposts since mine will be the first. Plus I am expecting the official pictures to surface before tomorrow, as is always the case.

    Hm. The headlights look like crap I drew in elementary school. Clearly, there's some legal issues here.

    Amazingly, it will somehow look uglier than the EX and QX, no small feat.

    And in true fashion of TCL...Wimbledon-bot will stay up all night combing the bowels of the internet and will post the first official pics of the FX while you are sleeping!

    i couldn't buy that car based on its name alone. the "fx" just sounds very unsophisticated and stupid. it's something that is always short for "effects", and they named a car that? duh! i always associated the acura mdx with the crappy subs "mtx". just never thought that would be a good name for an suv.

    XC70 sounds stupid, too. Sounds like "sexy 70". Better get rid of your Volvo, dude.

    Seriously, how ridiculous can you get?

    Sorry that is a reality Infiniti has. They have the letters NO ONE on wheel of fortune would pick, unless you want Vanna and Pat to laugh at your dumbass. Well, if they do have a letter that is borderline decent, they share it with someone else.
    G37? That doesn't sound too sporty does it. Now you have what 4 Pontiacs with G in it. EX sounds like the top of the line Accord model.

    FX never bugged me though its one off RX. Q, yuck. You think "M" you think BMW.

    Their marketing department should be shot quite frankly.

    Are the headlights really on the sides?

  13. 03-03-2008 11:52 PM #13
    Based on this fotos i feel it will look really good. The proportions seems to be better than the current model. I looks to have better visibility and more interior room. One think i don't like is the headlights. I wished they would end where the amber markers begin. I'm really looking forward to see what the interior will be like, if the EX is any indication it will also be class leading. I'm also very curious to know what powertrains will be available. hopefully Infiniti will announced the rumored diesel engine

    Will it maintain the obnoxious exhaust note of its predecessor? If so, I'll know to avert my eyes when I hear one coming

    Dumbest post of the effing year. I know consumers think RX, GS, and IS scream sport. Jesus, how stupid can arguments be...

    What else do you expect from this person?

    LS sounds like a S-Class rip-off, the GS sounds like a Buick Regal rip-off, the ES and IS both sound like cheap low-class cars, and SC sounds completely unimaginative. LX, RX, and GX are all contrived meaningless letters with no continuity in model range.

    Making comments about how letters sound is about as dumb as people saying that the IS-F = IS-FAILURE.

    Why wait? The spy photos have already shown us how nasty this thing is. What you said earlier is right: this thing is ugly enough to wear the BMW badge. It's like an SUV version of the Z4. Hell, call it X4.

    We may have seen what it looks like, but I am more interested in specs and the interior. And I figure this place being so heavily populated with dash strokers, people would wait for the interior before completely banishing it, spy pics and all.

    It's an Infiniti, thus a Nissan, so it will be bashed regardless.

    They should use this car to define the word "ugly" in the latest dictionnairy....Those headlights are just...... wow...

    Given Infiniti's recent interiors, I don't think there will be much to complain about there. The G was a step in the right direction, and the EX is a class leader, and the FX will probably be a step above it. Shame they Gary Busey'd the exterior.

    The interior's much nicer and I love the new powetrains and technology but I really don't like what they did to the front end. The fender vents are kind of iffy too but at least they are functional.

    Headlights look a bit odd, and I still like the old one better, but it looks decent

    It looks mean as hell, the front doesn't look as bad as I thought.

    Some nice features too!

    7-speed auto, CDC, 390HP VVEL V8, Rear-Active Steer, & ATTESA E-TS, etc.

    Distance Control Assist sounds like it will completely stop and start the car in traffic.

    Yea I don't think I like the tacked on chrom side vents. If anything, they should've left it out or left it body colored.
