Considering a 2011 Infiniti QX 56

My wife is trading her minivan and is considering it. Any feedback ?

One of our clients traded his GL550 in for it. His wife seems to like it.

I would opt for a Lexus LX570, they look better.

It's based on the Nissan Patrol and the interior is sick. I love the car but I'm biased I'm on my 3rd Infiniti

Thx guys!
Meanmachine, the Lexus 570 is too small. Need room for 3 large car seats.
Contenders are the GMs (I already have a Denali XL), Toyota Sequoia (a possibility). Ford/Lincoln large SUVs are outdated/uunderpowered at this point.

I will say it's pretty unique looking and apparently it rides nice. Do it, why not?

I looked at the MBs, feel tight inside.

The QX looks fugly in my opinion, but my wife liked the interior and the way it drives, so I'll go check it out this afternoon

Can't speak for 2k10, but I have driven and riden in these and was not impressed. Steering was terrible, so was road noise, and it seemed like everything cracked and creaked on the inside. I am a die hard range rover (full size) fan as I feel they are the benchmark in luxury and refinement. That being said, spending good time in a lx 570 I can say that it matches the rr, and when you put the suspension in comfort it is smooth as butter.

We've had the '11 QX for about a month now. Great SUV.
