Yeah, nope...still ugly. I dare say this is the worst-looking Infiniti to come out lately.

technically, this thread was for an 06' FX... so, I personally think the next gen. FX deserves it's own... even though I don't like the looks of it

The last update of this thread was for 2006 pricing...but, the main title is for FX News...

I leave it in the hands of the mods.

I'll repost my thought from the closed thread here

Wow. I didn't think they could have messed it up that bad.
That said, I'l await the final marketing pics to decide whether it's a botched redesign or just a poor refresh. But as of now, the front fascia design is extremely disappointing compared to how wonderfully aggressive and simplistic the original design was.

Unlike most of everybody here, I really like it. It is polarizing, much like the first version, but I like it. It has alot of attitude without trying to add on mucho crapo to gain that attitude. It would not fit into what I need for a vehicle, but otherwise I would be all over looking hard at this!

Plus the size does look like they won't be putting in a 3rd row, unless it is even tighter than an X5. That does make one wonder what the heck Infiniti has planned for the market. CUV's are the in thing now and not having a 3 row luxury CUV does not make sense. The assumption was that with the EX, that Infiniti would grow the FX to include the 3rd row.

i think the over all profile still look looks good but the rear end looks especially over-stylized. Trying to hard to be crazy? It doesn't look mean like the current generation. Looks more like those asian catfish.
that 5.5L engine should be tasty, though.
I wonder how the interior will be.
The thing will be sweet, i am a big fan of the current gen.

Could be even tastier squeezed into the engine bay of a G sedan in order to compete with the IS-F, RS4 and M3.

It looks like the current FX with different headlight/taillight design? I was hoping to see more drastic changes for the new model. Something just doesn't look right to me about the new light assemblies.

Ouch, they ruined it. The first one looked great, these head/tail lights look gimmicky.

I still say this is dome kind of decoy, or they did it on purpose to see the reactions in car forums like this

At first I honestly thought it was a bad photoshop.

But yeah, it's trying too hard. I like the current one better.

ummmmmmmmm are you sure it wasn't the EX? The FX hasn't even been unveiled yet at any major car shows like Detriot (maybe in Geneva in march) why would it be in a dealership in Florida?

The current one is really nice, I still look at one when it drives by. I'll wait for the final pictures to judge.

and not a very good one IMO... I'm really hoping the design team is just sittin' back laughing at all these negative comments from various forums, and like I already said... perhaps this is just some kind of decoy to throw people off...

Looks pretty decent. Being an FX35 owner, I don't see drastic changes on the new one.

I wish we can see a clear view of the tail lights.

well, the first one was in Geneva (I believe), and the 2nd one appears to be somewhere in L.A. They probably figure there're more people/exposure in L.A.

yerah, Acura can learn something from the Infiniti design team. Even tho I think the MDX is very well designed, this one just stole the prize so far.

really not liking the front...

looks too EX-ish and not aggressive enough.

maybe it'll look better with a frontal view.

I don't get it. The EX looks more like a baby FX. Soooo, what you're saying is that the soon-to-be 2G FX looks like a grown-up EX (or a matured baby FX?)
