Specifications & Summary

Summary

The 2009 Infiniti FX50 is something of a mixed bag. On one hand, we love the handling and power of this sport sedan in disguise. However, we can't help but notice that you get just as much handling and almost as much power in the BMW X5, along with a usable cargo area, decent back seat, and distinctive interior. Admittedly, the BMW X5 doesn't have the eye-grabbing style of the Infiniti FX50, and if that's your priority, then get out your checkbook. Just know that style comes at a price beyond the amount you hand to the dealer.
