After officially unveiling the models at the Geneva Motor Show, the Infiniti website has been updated to include all the European specifications.

Also, you may like to know that Infiniti have just announced they’re accepting reservations. So, if you are planning on being one of the first in your country to own an Infiniti just visit http://www.infiniti.eu/reserve to book your place in the queue.

I work for the Extended Launch Team at Infiniti and will be checking back here in a few days, so if you have any questions about the reservations list, please let me know and I’ll do my best to help.

“I never saw the point of buying a tall boxy vehicle if you only have 0-2 kids.”

Because you have more space in an SUV dude. What’s the point of even buying a sedan at all? You get more space in an SUV.

Sedan = condo
SUV = house

as to the comment about the qx56 getting redesigned. why. it looks really nice, i love the styling and it still looks fresh compared to the escalade which is already plaid out and the navigator which should just hide because its hideous. the only thing i recomend for this truck to truly rise to the next level is switch from a body on frame structure to unibody a la mb gl450 where it could really tackle the luxury suv market against that, the range rover, and audi q7. that would be a smart move and allow them to incorporate more of the fx styling cues and power/handling characteristics. the qx doesnt need to be the major hauler. if you want that you should get a nissan armada

dr. z actually your right about everything except the part about the fx adopting a third seat it wont soley for the purpose that the qx exists and that the sole intentions of this vehicle are for sport and not cargo/off road.
but good write up and i just wanted to say that this is one sexy suv and that compared to the cars in its class it kicks ass. the current x3, rx, rdx are garbage compared to this. it will kill them in nearly every apsect: power, handling, braking, LOOKS, price, etc except for maybe cargo, which again who cares. you don’t purchase one of these cars if your having a lot of kids and **** to carry. this will be the leader in its class.

Looks just like the next FX

I hate how they market “crossover.” I’ve never driven a “crossover” that didn’t resemble an SUV.. in fact, the main “crossover” I’ve had the time to sample much of (Equinox) handles like a brick.

I like it. Looks very G to me. Wonder if the next FX will look very M?

Infiniti doesn’t need another cross over. They need a real suv. The QX Armada crap needs to go. The vehicle is fine it just needs a major redesign. It looks like somebody’s nightmare right now.

DR. ZHIVAGO, I agree with you completely. I wouldn’t have put it so harshly, but I do agree with you. The Rogue and the EX are completely different and built on different platform. The only commonality the two may share would be the 3.5VQ V6. Also the market is hot right now for crossover vehicles and Infiniti would be a fool not to cut into a piece of that pie. With all that said. I think the EX looks great and think it will do even better in sales.

I agree TOZO, NIssan products need help in the styling deparment, where-as Infinit’s look really great.

But I do think that the Rogue and new Altima Coupe will be good sellers for Nissan.

Infiniti is on a roll.

Thanks, Doc. So it’s no Rogue. But the Rogue still sucks ass.

To all those mis-informed people:

1. The EX it not replacing the FX. The FX is getting larger and will add a third row seat to compete with the MDX, X5, XC90, Q7, etc.

2. The EX and Rogue have absolutely nothing in common. The Rogue is FWD/AWD based on the FF chassis which it shares with the Altima, Maxima, Murano, etc. The EX is RWD/AWD based on the FM chassis which it shares with the G, FX, M, and 350Z. They are two totally different vehicles.

3. To all of those crybabies complaining about more crossovers, tough cookies. Deal with it! Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Infiniti EX35, Volvo XC60, Cadillac BRX, Saab 9-4x, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Land Rover LR2. They are already here or coming soon to a dealer near you.

4. If you don’t like what is happening in this marketplace, then don’t buy them, no one cares. These companies will have plenty of people who will buy. You won’ t be missed. Reality bites.

5. Infiniti wants to be a Tier-1 company and they need to compete in every segment point-for-point with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, period.

This would be cool if this were priced below the FX. Like BMW’s X3,X5 or Acura’s RDX,MDX.
The QX is totally superfluous now.

Why does this look better than the G37? Different class, yes, but still better looking.

“The lane departure system is just another step down the road to eliminating all driver involvement.”

That day can’t get here soon enough. The morning commute is NOT a day at the track or your favorite stretch of twisties.

By: RLX02

RLX02 — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:04:20 +0000

eh. G37 + acura RDSX = Infinity EX.

Although I bet it will sell well as they do not have a SUV smaller than the FX right now.

I’d rather see the FX continue or the a G-series wagon, but this is what people are buying (Lexus RX, Highlander, MDX, Edge, etc). Not what enthusiasts want.

should have made it a station wagon

No more of this type auto please. They ALL look alike. Hundau/Honda/Nissan/Yoter/Zuki, good gawd man, how many do we need? NEVER owned a SUV/Crossover/whatever, never will.

Not “Coupe Enough” for me because I was expecting 2 doors and more radical styling. Looks like a Mazda 5 door hatch to me with an Infiniti snout.

Now this is nice. coupe design on an SUV. Looks good

Exactly. The FX looks more cutting edge than this.

This looks like they took a FX and G35ized it. Then toned it down a notch.

like my fx better

Aaaaa, this is different from the FX exactly how?

G35 Wagon? G37 Wagon?
Well, it’ll probably work. So is this the Infiniti version of that hideous upcoming Nissan Rogue? If it is, then BRAVO! because Nissan turned an ugly duckling into a… the EX.

is this more of an RDX sized vehicle?

could be a hot seller.

going directly against the mdx.

i like the mirrors, and that chrome trim connected to it.

i wonder if the backside is bangled….
