I still have my FX50S that I purchased brand new in 2010. The car has almost every feature that my wife’s 2019 Lexus LX 570 has....radar cruise control, 360 degree overhead view camera, heated and cooled seats etc. I have always been a car guy, my other car is a 2009 Carrera S, and the FX with nearly 400 horse power is still a blast to drive. The first, and only mod I did was have the resonator removed. This mod opened up the exhaust for that proper V8 sound that I love...I’m a 72 year old boomer! If you can find one, grab it.

I currently own 2016 QX70 3.7. I love the car and truly see the FX/QX70 as the original sport cross over. The only other car that I'd consider contending for this crown is the 4.4i/4.6is/4.8is E53 X5 Sport. I owned a 2006 4.4i X5 Sport back from 2010-2015. in 1999-2002 the v8 E53 Sport was really the only nimble performance SUV available on the market. However the E53 was a tad larger I think and felt less coup-like. I purchased my QX70 because it feels just like how the E53 felt with added sleek styling and refinement.

QX55 turned our to be another extremely disappointing model for us Inifiniti fans :( what made FX35/37/50/QX70 so special was that amazing reliable, powerful, fun, tested and trusted, bulletproof 3.5/3.7V6 and AT transmission. How a weak and boring turbo4 peered up with notoriously unreliable and boring CVT is even remotely considered a replacement is mind blowing! not to mention discontinuation of Q60(WHY?!?!) and going all electric?! they should have fired the CEO and all the execs for ruining Infiniti brand! nobody in this sector is interested in EVs, the power grid is not ready , they are boring yet super expensive. I wish we had a true G37 and Q60 successors that had even more horsepower and technologies than M340i, S5 or TLX TypeS. Inifniti was all of that: reliable, powerful, gorgeous and very high tech. we have lost all of it :(
