looks like a murano

The one thing i hate about all concept cars, the production model will never look as good...best case in point, the g37.

Looks like a beefed up G35 sedan with a high roof and raised. The body reminds me of a murano that has been mated with the front of the new sedans. Looks good, we'll see if it sells.

Oh and the tail lights look like the tribeca's.

yes....also looks like a waste of time....dont you think it will cut away at FX sales??? the FX is the premium Murano.....the QX being the premium Armada...why build another truck....we dont need a premium version of the Pathfinder....we need another sedan in the line up....a next step up from the M which will cut into 7-series and S-class market share

sorta. the QX is a fancy Armada, the FX and Murano are not really related at all. Murano is based on the Altima's platform and is FWD while the FX is based on the Maxima/G/Z and is RWD. Ever notice how the FX sounds like a G while the Murano sounds like... well nothing. can't hear it.

I think the EX would offer a nice luxury crossover at a lower price point, probably would sell well. i wouldn't buy it, but it'd probably do well.

I feel the same way. ]The previous Q45 didnt really do well against the germans, but with Infiniti's newfound success and styling, I think they have a chance of re-entering the premium luxury sedan market.

Compact sport utilities is a big market. With rising gas prices people still want big but not gas guzzler. I've noticed an increase in popularity with the small SUV market. People need bigger cars but oddly enough wagons aren't popular here like they are in Europe.

I think it's a good move for Infiniti but I like the idea of cutting into the 7 series market. Also I think they need to introduce NISMO or some type of racing division to Infiniti like M and AMG.

yah i agree with all of that. but if they are going to go after the 7 series they need to start by coming up with a true competitor for the LS... the new LS is really nice and is creeping up on the 7 and S... not there yet but getting there.

and i second the nismo thing, but i'd probably stay away from using that name, it has been soiled by all of the ricers out there... unless they put out some really badass cars, then it'd work itself out.
