Infiniti FX50 Review - Wow It's Ugly

albeik · 04-23-2008, 07:48 PM

I really like the new FX and the new X6.

The FX front reminds of the Gran Turismo-S:

!Xoible · 04-23-2008, 07:49 PM

X6 is nowhere near ugly. FX50 has a fucked up face. i hope it isnt too heavy for what the engine can do tho

mkaaes · 04-23-2008, 08:27 PM

Wow ugly headlights and vents from a Ford Focus

jetblk328i · 04-23-2008, 09:37 PM

lol what is wrong with nissan/infiniti designers? they cant seem to make nice headlights....just look at the new maxima

out4scrilla · 04-23-2008, 09:55 PM

man and i was in love with the fx45

SteelTorque · 04-23-2008, 10:03 PM

Wow! Some of the japanese designers must be smoking some serious crack.

vase330 · 04-23-2008, 10:17 PM

Infiniti took a half decent looking FX series cross bred it with a Saluki dog and look what they got! Boy is that thing ugly? And what is with the side vents lifted right off a Saturn vue or is it an elongated ford focus vent? Too much tasteless bling. Nice hadware, but someone needs to offer it a change of clothes..

Year's_End · 04-23-2008, 10:20 PM

I'm trying to decide which is the worst design feature...the headlights or the side vents...

bump for an ugly car

to_riffic · 07-14-2008, 12:08 AM

man theres just too mny buttons on that console....f that....tryin to challenge acura on the "how mny more buttons can we fit inside the center console"? this suv screams ugly everywhere it will go....sad...infinity used to hav such nice curves. now they're ugly and fat!

AV9 · 07-14-2008, 12:36 AM

i wonder how the ML500 or even the ML55 AMG compares to either the fx or the x6...

NJE93M3 · 07-14-2008, 12:53 PM

who ever got put in charge of designing cars at Infiniti should be shot....they ruined the front of the G37 and now this

ksfrogman · 07-14-2008, 01:04 PM

It is a little ugly, but I like it for some reason. I have always liked the FX.

It looks mad and ready to eat something in its way.

Keto · 07-14-2008, 01:26 PM

Sweet, station wagons are back.

The Acura MDX has 63 buttons, yes that right count them, 63 buttons on the center console stack alone, and another 12 on the steering wheel, I lost count before looking over the rest of the dash.

first time ive seen the around view monitor system in action. seriously, all SUVs should have that. bit more ugly than the last FX, but the tech is seriously loaded. wish i had self healing paint...

Someone I agree with on this vehicle. X6

+1, Yes it looks pretty bad when u look at it directly form the front, but so does the new 7. The other views are not bad tho and that exhaust note

Wowzers. I like both the X6 and FX45 (not sure about this new one till I see it in person).
