This is how it should look, with the grill flush with the rest of the front bumper:

studly,....period.

The proof is in the driving !!!!

Once you start the engine and hear the low, gutteral exhaust note,...your testosterone levels spike like a grunger's hair cut !!

Poor color choice for auto show,....Root Beer??

Wait til it hits dealers,...will sell well to X generation up and comers who cant afford cayennes.

Male choice of crossover/racers,...the EX is simply too feminine and rightly so,...exactly what Infiniti wanted to do.

FX= males
EX= females

I am waiting for the retractable hardtop convertible coming this summer

Bonzai !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUD.

the interior looks nice, high quality.

the exterior is awful. they'd do better keeping the current design and swapping interiors.

they should have changed the overall shape of the car if they wanted to go radical. they should have left out the cartoonish headlamps and goofy side vents if they wanted to go evolutionary.

this looks like 2 seperate design briefs that got combined by mistake. it looks really stupid.

You have to understand that the FX is already a radical design out there. It stands out... However it does need to be refreshed and this is exactly what Infinity has done. I think the exterior and the interior look stunning! Hell I want one...

I like it. I am not sure it is a stud but you have to give Infiniti alot of credit for trying something bold. If this new transmission goes across the board for the rest of the cars that share this platform than Infiniti will be a lot more competitive.

DUD!

I really like the back but the front it just looks retarded, lights looks too much on the sides and the grill looks like a vacumcleaner that just sucks and sucks the air, overall in my opinion; retarded front, everythign else is awsome. The only Picture that looka alright is the first one, there u dont really see those crucked eye front lights.

I would love to own the first generation fx with the new interior, beautifull combination. Actualy, come to think of it, i like the 1st gen interrior too but this one looks really high tech.

If i had a choice between x6 and fx, id would go for x6 despite its stupid 4 seat arrangement.

FX - great overall shape; overwrought, fussy details.
X6 - great details; weird shape.

The first FX was great - unique, goodlooking, bold, clean. I think they tried too hard with the new one...similar to the new G Sedan - took the same basic shape, changed it around, and mucked up the details.

Still, more stud than dud.

M53R are u serious? X6 is no way the best looking SUV. It's own siblings like X5 and even the X3 looks better to me.

"but (by infiniti design standards) could have been better."

How so?

It makes every other Infiniti vehicle yet produced look bland and uninspired. The only ones that come close are the previous FX and the G37. The FX50 pushes the envelope inside and out. It looks fresher, more modern and more cutting-edge than any other midsized SUV out there. To top it all off, the new FX also offers a fantastic powertrain and some new technology. What's not to like?

I'm more excited about the engine!

Interior looks much improved and I cant tell if I like the exterior because the brown, berillium or whatever they call it exterior is gross. Give me black on black please - pure form. Or silver on black. Something clean, then I can judge it.

Not sure if I like the front but I like how the headlights got more aggressive.

Stud. The design is controversial and aggressive, but nowadays that is what we want. Some uniqueness along the way also. The grill looks like japaneese leaves molded out of steel.

The headlamps are fantastic, and so is the body, and engine choice get even better. Looks like Infiniti has got some trumps left in the slot for Europe.

could have been better mean some small but important details like the headlights and side vents could have been better. That's it.

I agree, the vents are the only things that don't look quite right. They would probably fit in if the car were silver, black or dark blue.

I disagree about the headlights, though. Without them, the car would look completely different. As much as I love the front end of the current FX, this takes it to a whole new level.
