The laws of physics don't apply in Toontown, where cartoon characters live and SUVs act like sports cars.

In Toontown, Infiniti's new FX50 accelerates quicker than a G37, matches its outstanding braking performance, and then - as its pièce de résistance - rounds corners even more quickly than the sport coupe. The story is similar with Toontown's BMW X6 - it sticks with the twin-turbo 335i coupe in a straight line and can almost match its performance-benchmark prowess in braking and cornering.

Here in the real world, height and weight are the biggest enemies of acceleration, braking, and handling. So how is it that these tall, heavy SUVs can dance with their low-slung coupe siblings? Cue the Looney Tunes music.

The 2003 Infiniti FX wasn't the first SUV with performance credentials - the BMW X5 and the Porsche Cayenne had already proven that even elephants could do ballet. However, the low-roofed, big-wheeled FX was the first SUV that looked the part, sacrificing utility for a lot of sport.
