head lights and the grill is too far apart...

Can't wait to see the engine for these things!

The jaggy head lights / tail lights are disgusting. Maybe they'll grow, but for right now its hideous.

Again, as with the original when it came out, this will be an polarizing design. Either you love it or hate. I'll reserve final judgement for the production version.

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!

....and so far, the reception to the X6 has been cool.....which hopefully translates into deep discounts.

Back on topic, looks like a 1.5G FX.

that's what i think. same as the 1.5G G35 and G37, although I like the 1.5G refresh on the G35 and G37. they really didn't fix anything on the rear of the FX, which is disappointing to me.

I never cared for the sloping rear windshield on the FX.

it's not bad, but i think it'll have to grow on me.

but i like that it's retaining its aggressiveness and didn't follow the EX35's blandness.

From these pics, the car hasn't moved up much in size, as was anticipated. That leads me to believe that the FX may stay pure to it's roots as a hard nose sporting crossover; which is exactly what the X6 aims to be. That makes me wonder if Infiniti will introduce a crossover that's a little larger and that will over seating for seven also. Hell, BMW, Toyota, and Lexus have all gone SUV crazy; they may go that route, or risk not having a competitor to the X5.

they should make a crossover about the size of the Pathfinder. too bad they can't bring the QX4 back.
