Behold, I present to you the new 2011 Infinit QX56.
The outgoing model was no looker, but this is indeed a Franken-Homer car! I would like to say at least one nice thing about it, but I can’t. Ok, maybe the steering wheel is decent.

WARNING- each consecutive photo will make your eyes bleed even more!
WHAT’S GOING ON? The forehead is so big. I don’t understand this. Chrome trimmed craziness. Windowed A-pillar. What’s up with the backside? I’m so confused.
Yesterday, I was about to hit Core and post this identical thread.
Normally, I try to understand what the designers were thinking, but I can’t figure this one out. It’s a complete abortion. The only defense I can add is that the interior is generically bland.
The worst part is that I really like the FX and thought that Nissan/Infiniti were making the best looking cars at the beginning of the decade. Between the GT-R, Maxima and this thing though…how the mighty have fallen!
Looks like they put in about as much effort at making it look good as the guys at Lincoln did with the latest Navigator (or any previous Navigator for that matter.)
That Infiniti is just horrible. I mean horrible. But, I can guarantee I’ll see more than a few cruising the streets of my city soon enough.
Benny: you are a magician. I actually like the proportion of the greenhouse and the blacked out A pillar. I didn’t even see that with the goofy tail light hanging out and the drooping port holes. It’s almost as though the designers did a decent truck and then someone stopped by Pep Boys, spent $200 and pasted all kinds of ugly aftermarket crap to it. What a crime…
yes this thing is definitely not to my liking. I would say generally the infiniti stuff has had an off kilter feel to it (in my opinion) but in a way that has made it different and not necessarily ugly, but this is just plain ugly, i dont understand the chrome vents… thats something GM would have done in 2006.
I think we need to make a special trophy and send it to the Nissan design team. Have we ever had such a unanimously negative response to a vehicle in Core history?
I’m sure no car designer would like to design a vehicle like this. Maybe marketing department of Infiniti pushed them to come up with such a bad design.
