2010 Infiniti FX50

Base MSRP $59,000

The FX really looks like no other utility vehicle. With an aggressive, hunkered-down silhouette, curvy sheet metal and big, flashy wheel designs, plus styling cues that hint of the racetrack instead of muddy trails, the Infiniti FX has an exterior style that exudes performance. Inside, the FX's cabin feels very classy, styled and appointed more like a luxury sports car than anything else in the utility class. On-road performance is the FX's reason for being; it offers the driving thrills of a sport sedan with more versatility. While some cargo space falls victim to the rakish rear roofline, most FX shoppers won't mind. Tech features are the FX's other major strength. Several features like the lane-departure system, collision warning system, the Around View Monitor, and Active Steer are likely to help avoid accidents, adding to the FX's already strong safety record.
