  Hats off to Infiniti - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By nbhangtfan - January 18 - 10:00 am

  We traded in our 2001 QX4 with 150K miles for this beauty. Got the 2WD version (live in the South) with the Theater package - kids LOVE it. My son can play his games while my daughter listens to her Ipod or watches a movie. Interior is FIRST RATE in terms of feel and ride quality. The navigation and 360 degree safety camera is really a great feature. Performance of the engine is awesome and you will outgun many sedans even though this is a Large SUV. Gas mileage could be a little better, but cmon for 400 horsepower, who cares? Infiniti really got the design right for the luxury SUV market this time, would have never bought the prior model since it looked too much like a truck.

  I first bought a QX in 05 when I got my license. Traded in 2010 for my 2011.

  Best full size SUV - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By Aspen CO - August 23 - 7:20 pm

  I just purchased the 11 QX56 as our family vehicle. Very, very smooth and powerful drivetrain. Beautiful and high quality interior as well as amazing technology. In my opinion, there is not a better full size luxury SUV at any price. The Lexus LX570 cost at least $15k more and the Infiniti is a better vehicle. We do a lot of mountain driving and it worth every penny.

  Better than the Competition - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By Houston P - August 25 - 5:26 am

  Traded a 2007 Escalade for it. I do not miss the Escalade at all. The advanced electronic package is barely shy of an airplane. So is the external camera array. Very except cal at the beginning, I am using all the driving assist options now. Smooth ride and, finally, a good style. I own luxury cars since 2000, including Lexus, Porsche and Cadillac. This is the best car I ever had. Tried towing a boat and did it effortlessly.

  Love the 2011 QX56 - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By tnnuke - June 10 - 2:34 am

  Bought the 2011 QX56 4x4 with theatre package in March. Paid invoice with VPP from Sam Swope Infiniti in Louisville, Ky. My 52" 120# wife loves this big SUV. It drives much smaller and the ride quality and quietness is awesome. Already put 11K miles on the vehicle. Seems I see Escalades everywhere, but seldom come across a new style QX56. It is truly the only updated large SUV out there. The 400hp engine makes it a beast when you want it to be.

  THIS is a different vehicle! - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By snakebite3 - November 8 - 2:04 pm

  I bought a 2010 QX56 and kept it a total of 4 weeks before trading it for a Sequioa. So... I Took my wifes G37x in for routine maintenance one day a few weeks ago and while waiting for the work to get finished, saw the new 2011 QX56 and thought to myself "Wow that thing is ugly." A salesman approched me and asked if I wanted to drive it and I declined, telling him I had bought a QX last year and traded it after only one month. He said, "But THIS QX is way different that last years model." So...I drove it. And then I bought it! And so far, this vehicle is the best ridding, the quietest (wind noise? what freaking wind noise?), best equipted, most awesome SUV ever.

  Best SUV on the Road - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By cory11 - October 16 - 1:30 am

  I had a 1998 Landcruiser, drove a sedan for a while and then bought a 2010 Toyota 4-runner. I wanted something more luxurious so I started looking at SUVs. Range Rover, LX570, Navigator and Escalade (nothing else really out there). I drove the QX and loved it! Great power, fabulous interior, excellent exterior! I bought one and have put only 200 miles on it, but it is clearly the best SUV on the road!

  I love this SUV! - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By nickz - April 16 - 2:00 am

  Dollar for dollar, the best value out there for performance, luxury and fun factor. Coming from 2008 Escalade. Drives like a sports car with feel of an SUV. Its far more easy to navigate around town, provides a better ride, has more passing power,and looks better in and out. Test drove the new MB GL and the Lexus LX. The third row seat in both of them were far smaller, and didnt handle as good. The GL did have a nicer center row, but was inferior elsewhere. Very Pleased overall. I like that it doesnt look like every SUV on the road; its distinctive styling makes stand out.

  The Ultimate SUV experiance - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By vegas Dan - March 30 - 5:36 pm

  For my family This is by far the Best SUV ever created! And it is still under-priced compared to The lexus counterpart. And we were also excited to know that Nissan will not have a body style similar to this in Northern America.

  Awesome vehicle...BUT! - 2011 Infiniti QX56
  By billm10 - July 10 - 4:55 pm

  Great vehicle to drive...BUT, there is an extremely loud fan noise that degrades power (like on a hwy on ramp). My daughter said, Dad, is that us!!??. When I first heard it, I looked around to see where the looming semi truck was. Sounds like Garbarge truck with that high-rev sounding engine.You will not find this on a test drive and Infiniti says it is the hydraulic fan and that it is normal. Believe me when I say it is loud, obnoxious, embarassing,and loses power. I have not had it happen since wintertemps, but in warmer september month and always after a highway run, then in slow traffic is when it kicks in...After you get up to speed it goes away. Sorry to saywould return it if i could
