The Car Enthusiast - First Drive: Infiniti FX50S
























Infiniti is finally coming to Europe and Britain will be getting the model line-up mid-2009. With an entire range already to go Infiniti will hit the ground running and with its FX50S it is likely to have many established performance SUV rivals ducking for cover.

In the Metal

The Infiniti FX50S is simply a stunning-looking machine. It looks quite unlike anything else you've ever seen: part Manga comic character, part running shoe with a touch of SUV and fastback thrown in there for good measure; if you want to be seen, then you need this car. There's an almost comical look to its proportions, the body looking like it has been stretched over the impossibly wide track, wheelbase and massive 21-inch alloy wheels. The detailing is just as appealing, with the front lights recessed into the bodywork and the rear items protruding from it. There's movement and tension to its surface too, the likes of which isn't available anywhere else in the SUV class. On looks alone Infiniti's rivals should be worried, particularly in a marketplace that's driven by fashion.

I still prefer the previous one. This one reminds me of a clown shoe.
