It's the Japanese Escalade. Big grill, shitty interior, ballas will go wild. Japanese luxury carmakers have it tough enough for Infiniti to be selling shit like this badged as a luxury car/suv.

i realize it may be a shock for a lexus fanboy, that a company with a very high "Reliability" factor, doesn't have even one dashboard, in any category, that tops the german competitors. es, is, gs, ls, gx, lx(been in them all), they all have the same damn cheap plastic that seperates lexus from the german brands. its always evident, people with an eye for design/detail can see it. funny how people overlook cheapness in lexus because of the L on the hood just because lexus builds precision cars, doesn't mean they build the highest quality cars.. the new cayenne or even the vw suv interior(haha), damn, puts the japanese companies to shame. just a few weeks ago 1sicklex was proud that lexus actually put real wood in a 65k lx470 suv. wow, bravo, now if only they could compete in every other aspect so that a lincoln navigator didn't outsell a lx470 4:1.

Every Lexus has always had real wood. The LX 470 now has more. And an aluminum interior. To seperate itself more from the LX. And Lexus and German makes use different plastics but they are far from cheap. Lexus interiors have always been heralded as some of the best.
WTF are u talking about?

How can you try and bash Lexus for quality, interior or exterior? Are you talking about some other brand?
This is the dashboard of an ES. The lowest priced Lexus. Are you saying that a 325 can beat this?

i was trying to put enough irrationality into the post so i could discuss it on the same level.
i 'm talking about the dash, and yes even a 3 doesn't skimp out.
i don't see how anyone can possibly miss the huge chunk of cheap plastic right in the center of the dash and that nav screen...
same one found in the camry.
i don't see how a 325i can't beat it

I'm a big Nissan fan, and I HATE this thing with a passion.
Its more than the looks which I hate. I hate the fact that Nissan did a half-assed job of bringing this thing out. They changed very few things from the Armada when creating this beast. They added a clock, and wood trim, and supposed better leather and dash materials. I know Nissan can do better, they should stop being so damn cheap and put more time into things. They put effor into the Altima, G35/G35C, FX35/45, Q45, Murano, and 350z. All of them are hits. This has lack of effort written all over it. I hope it flops.
But not everyone will like the same thing

Outnumbered at home
So reminds me of the Toyota land cruiser and lexus 470. They look so freaking alike i could never justify getting the lexus. God make some changes to the cars before you sell them.
Will probably still sell like a mother

FX selling okay not really a hit.
Q45 is a complete and utter failure (again)
Murano selling okay, not really a hit
350z a home run

THis QX though, looks like rapper crap. Interior is HORRIBLE for a 55k loaded car, like a Japanese Escalade.

holy hard to manuver menus!
its not hideous but the fact that it looks exactly like the armada, which in its self is not the greatest lookin thing, brings it down ten fold.
