Geneva 2008: Infiniti FX

[Overheat]

Infiniti is launching in Europe, and the second-generation FX is coming too: it's a huge luxury SUV-crossover, on sale late 2008.

The FX will come with a choice of V6 and V8 petrol engines, the latter a 5.0-litre, 380bhp unit in combination with a seven-speed automatic gearbox and electronically-controlled four-wheel-drive. Continuous damping control suspension, intelligent cruise control, distance control assist and around-view monitor cameras are offer, as well as rear-active steering, 21-inch aluminium-alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlamps, Bose audio system and solid magnesium gearchange paddleshifts.

This Mk2 FX has a longer wheelbase and wider track than its predecessor, and redistributed front:rear weight balance; it is also 90kg lighter, thanks to aluminium doors, and considerably more rigid. Still, it's rather large for the UK's roads, not to mention liable for the £25-a-day London congestion charge - the smaller Infiniti EX37 is probably a better bet for we Brits.

shhh.. don't tell anyone

but seriously, I'm just putting together a bulk thingymajig for all the Geneva stuff at the mo, so if I do this, which I probably will a few times, just post a nice link like you have

unless there's any better ideas anyway - not really fussed how it happens, just wanna be a provider of new info, rather than a lame reposter!

Well, any chance to up my post count I'll leave the real berating to the mods.

I would suggest putting this all in one thread and only including the vehicles that already don't have topics. From what I have been able to see it seems that most of the vehicles posted already have lively topics with more information and photos.
