Well, well, well...altho I think the exterior design Its just a matter of gueting used to - as I quite like It already - I can't say the same about the interior, this shot taken (horrible quality btw, was that a celphone camera or what?)show what It seems to be a very bad quality inteior with cheap plastics and wood, just notice the buttons right above the gear level, aww...lokks terrible.

they dont look cheap, its just the flash effect, infiniti buttons are quite upscale, like most of their equipment

And also, only 390bhp out of 5.0L V8 ?!?!?

this isnt a raging sportscar, mercedes' 5.5l V8 offers the same hp

Not a great improvement over the first one, still ugly!

in person it's gonna look real good and chic, except for that kitsch grille... what were they thinking of? remember the tribeca fiasco??

i need an all weather luxury wagon/crossover to go skiing or carrying the dog+bikes, and this might be the final option after all... stock 20" wheels are better suited for climate adversity and look better (no fake vortex pattern) than 21's

The old one was breath taking...this is just lumped together. There was a flow that the old one had and an unmistakable look this is just not attract. To much of the old body lines were left to similar. Infiniti, please leave that job to Mercedes and come up with fresh stuff not what looks like face lifts

They came up with an unmistakable and at the same time beautiful shape, so rare these days, and you wanted a total remake? Come on, look at the Porsche 911... an icon must keep its identity for generations, and that's what they did. The sleeker front end and better sculpted volumes will depict a beautiful car in person, these are just 2D photographs.

Hmm, this thing or a Range Rover or a Cayenne? Good luck Mr Ghosn.

the front end of this car for some reason reminds me a bloated toyota raf 4. not necessarily a bad thing but honestly i was expecting a little more departure from the outgoing model's theme. Specifically, i have always found a rear end a bit too rounded for my taste and hoped for them to address that in their redesign. But from what i see the shape and the roofline are pretty much the same. Also, i have noted the front end has a bumper that seats little to high, meaning higher repair cost for minor accidents. I certainly hope to see a hybrid on this model, because even a current fx35 is a gas hog around New York City, returning an awful 12 mpg in the city cycle. Overall Given Infiniti's loyal fanbase for this particular model i don't see any problem for them to move everyone of those vehicles coming stateside.

hmm.. just my opinion, but the front is ugly... both the new murano and fx got their noses uglified (yea, I know that's not a real word)

as I thought...new Murano is ugly...new FX is uglier!

I wouldn't have thought that a new FX should look this way. But now that I've seen it, it appears to be exactly what an evolutionary step in the FX design should be!

I hated the design when I saw those pictures, then I checked on youtube... This thing looks fierce in the streets and no other company can come up with such a different design yet as powerful or even more powerful as germans. and with specs like this... 5.0 390HP, 7-speed automatic, intelligent AWD, and 21's on its feet. This is a luxurious SUV approach of a GT-R to me. CAN YOU SAY BADASS?
