      Infiniti, as usual, designs a nice vehicle, and sticks a shitty CVT, and then they wonder why their sales are in the shitter.

      My wife would love something like this instead of her RDX, but I ain't touching a Nissan CVT, ever.

      Infiniti, two letter for you- ZF. Do it, and watch your sales improve.

        That hatch fitment. Big ol' yikes. I'd worry my dog would fall out of the panel gaps.

          Needs more grill! The interior doesn't match the exterior. Looks like a Rogue inside (which is probably what this is based on).

                  Trust me, for the people buying these, the CVT isn't an issue.

                  I know because we have a 2014 QX60 with the CVT. I really have no complaints about the transmission, because it's not really meant to be that exciting to drive.

                  It's a somewhat competent and somewhat luxury family vehicle built on generic Nissan parts. They sell the crap out of them in the suburbs near me.

                    @cobrajoe It is supposed to be a luxury vehicle, and it costs as much as other similar models. CVT just doesn't play in that league. But that is just my opinion.

                      I always tell my wife "Dodge will finance you if you have a pulse", but Nissan is right there as well. WTF happened to them?

                        @musashi66 That's a good question, I'm not sure about Dodge, but Nissan seems to have tried to expand at any cost.

                          @e90m3 Yeah, the whole "make as many cars as you can and sell half to rental agencies" didn't work well. Ghosn did a really shitty job.

                            I'd argue that Infiniti is "near luxury" or "Entry level luxury". It's the same niche that Lincoln was filling 20 years ago.

                            I guess I didn't realize that the QX55 is the new name for the "sporty" 5 seat CUV, but that doesn't really change my opinion on the CVT. (There are better options for that price for the true driving enthusiast, even in the 5 seat CUV category.)

                            If they try to make a performance variant, then I'll agree the CVT is a poor choice. Until then, it's a good option for someone who wants a comfortable CUV with a "Sporty" demeanor.

                              I'm kinda digging the interior flow, especially with the red accents. I don't expect it to be the height of luxury, but I could see driving that.

                                @musashi66 Nissan doesn't even check for a pulse before financing you.
