Well, you can park it in front of all sorts of farms and hook it up to all sorts of implements, but it's lipstick on a pig, and Infiniti knows it.
Perhaps some people will buy it for the utility, towing capacity etc, but they’re the minority.
The cubby hole for their Blackberry is more of a concern to some people then torque rating or engine displacement.
Their concern is luxury, size (so they feel safe, and to make sure they come out on top in a collision) and image.
And why would they care about diesel efficiency when gas is so cheap?
These large luxurious techno-laden SUVs are an oxymoron, a mere accessory, like a Prada handbag.
It reminds me of a Nissan Mall er Pathfinder ad that shows it slamming through the bush, fording rivers, charging up hills, mud flying etc,
with the tag line "Not that you would , but you could"
And that sums up the QX56 quite nicely, you can do a lot of things with it, but in reality it’s a tubbed out grocery getter for soccer moms on their way to the mall.
My only regret on my last post was not inserting the imocon puking like the one Dan has.
