The FX50 is now the fastest Infiniti in the lineup. 1/4 mile in 13.6 seconds. That's quick for an SUV/crossover.

Just so you know-

The FX is NOT a truck.
It's an insult to refer to it as such.

It doesn't look like a truck, doesn't handle like a truck, doesn't have a cab or a box like a truck...etc.

Take note-

I guess sport suv might not be too bad.

Heavy on the sport-

The 2003 FX is unique in that they softened the suspension just a bit in 2004.
Too many people complaining about the stiffness of the ride.

Hard to say if the FX50 retained the softer suspension or went back to our roots.
I've held my own with a RS4 at the track through the corners, but 450 hp on the straightaways is a little out of my league-
