Strange car sighting
 

Today I stumbled on a strange car.. these days I heard around that maybe someday Infiniti will enter European market with the whole lineup..

Well, today I saw one LOL..I suppose it was a grey or black imported car...

The strange thing is that it's not the FX45, but FX30... smaller engine for European market?

Anybody know something about that?

It's an Infiniti FX45. Same thing as the Nissan Murano. At least in the states.

doyle

Nope it isn't.. as you can read in my post, on the booth there is a pretty obvious FX30

Is it the Infiniti FX35? (3.5 L engine)

I repeat, I was 50 cm behind it and it says FX30... :)

I wonder if there is something going on for Europe since 3.5 is already considered pretty big around here, or if it was a joke or whatever.. I'll try to find it again one of the next days ;)

it's really strange if they put a 3.0L engine inside the FX since u can't find it anymore in the Nissan/Infiniti lineup :)

Exactly.. I just realised that...

Simply market...most likely 3 liter is more popular and gas..

The two strange things are still:

- where did the 3.0 come from? Renault has a 3.0 diesel engine but the sound wan't not diesel...

- why is there an Infiniti in Switzerland when officially it's not imported? Just black market? Or maybe sort of grey import did by Nissan to promote it? but no stickers at all on it...

see them all the time. They are supposed to be pretty quick SUVs but I wouldnt buy one.

yea i think thats an fx35, i see those everywhere (california is home of suvs). pretty weird looking, but ive never had one try to race me.

someone just played with the badges, it happens all the time :?

just on a side note, i happen to like to look of the car, so i went to check it out at the dealership just for fun. HATED IT! same problem as w/ the 350z (which i also took a look at) they spent all their money styling the outside that the inside is all flimsy and plasticy...horrible... this thing is supposed to compete w/ the cayenne, ML, X5 etc! what a disapointment....but gotta love those stock 20" rims :D
