Put it Back In, It's Not Done Yet: 2011 Infiniti QX56

Well, we have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is this is Car Driven’s 100th post! Whoo!

The bad news is that it’s about the monstrocity that is the 2011 Infiniti QX56.

We had sort of been hoping that the QX56 would quietly just die off somewhere since the current generation is also ugly and does not sell nearly as much as its competition, which is mostly the Escalade and Navigator.

But Inifiniti figures if it makes it uglier, it will somehow sell? Who knows.

The bulbus forehead theme that seems to be finding its way on most new Infinitis is present up front along with G37 inspired headlights, which don’t work at all on the QX56. There is an apparant desire to make a boxy design swoopy, and more often than not, it doesn’t work out.

Under that huge bump on the head is a 5.6 litre direct injected V8 that the old QX56 had which makes 400 horsepower and 405 pound foot of torque. Everything in terms of interior and packaging  is pretty much expected to stay the same as well.

After the jump is a shot of the rear which carries on the awkward ugly theme
