Appears to be like like a Lexus knock-off and never in a great way.
Final Infiniti I believed could be one thing for me was the G35 coupe. If that they had bought a G35 wagon I’d have been *throughout that* however this is not a factor that exists. I do not know why I’d pay cash for a brand new Infiniti at this level as a result of I do not care about their merchandise in any respect and assume they’re all form of cut-rate Lexus & BMW copies.
I am form of an inexpensive ass although so grain of salt with all of that.
It appears to be like like somebody actually wished the Cadillac “I’m the Hoover Dam” nostril, and another person wished the Lexus “Predator mouth” nostril, and so they each thought they received, however actually all of us misplaced.
Good to see Infinity actually leaning into the “traditionally ugliest SUVs” title they’ve held because the introduction of the beluga whale wanting QX sequence.
I am at all times bowled over once I see a overview of a brand new Infinity mannequin… “Wait… Infinity continues to be in enterprise?”
I do not know who their goal market is, nevertheless it’s not me.
I’ve restricted curiosity in giant SUV’s at this worth level, but when I had been purchasing, I might be on the Genesis vendor buying a GV 80. That is what an attractive exterior and inside appears to be like like in that worth level and even larger.
Automotive and Driver has a variety of photographs of their overview.

Till this thread, it would not have crossed my thoughts to even take a look at Infinity. There’s nothing aspirational of their lineup to me. Possibly they’re okay and dependable, however not aspirational.
Infiniti used to make some attention-grabbing autos, just like the previous M45, the G35/37/Q60 Coupe, the Q50 Purple Sport, and even that M56 with the bizarre “Japanese Forest Simulator” HVAC. I by no means aspired to personal one, however they gave the impression to be the “actual” Nissan merchandise whereas the precise Nissan was cranking out Large Altima Power and ugly bizarre Maximas that regarded like they had been designed by Homer Simpson.
I am actually shocked they nonetheless exist in as we speak’s world the place Nissan is hemorrhaging funds, however right here we’re. As ugly as it’s, it nonetheless cannot maintain a candle to the previous QX56, AKA Peyton Manning in car type.
Small addition: I wrote the piece, together with the title, earlier than realizing it was a six-figure automobile.

Six figures? Simply “JFC/SMDH” from me. Sorry if these abbreviations break a discussion board norm/rule, however that sums up my common ideas on how far Nissan/Infinity have fallen and/or how out of contact they’re.
Humorous, however these seats virtually seem like they’re fabric! May have fooled me on this $100K+ worth class. 
Appears to be like like they’re presumably perforated leather-based, OK, however what’s with the funky colour? The seats are simply not, nicely, interesting to me. Does Nissan really use a Western group to find out tips on how to model their vehicles for North America? Nissan appears to maintain capturing themselves within the foot, whereas Lexus looks like they can not do something flawed. It is unhappy, as a result of I actually nonetheless love the Datsun product, nevertheless it all went flawed someplace alongside the road.
