    Infiniti Teases New Crossover Coupe

      ...To be called the QX55

    Infiniti today released a teaser image of an upcoming crossover coupe due to be shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this year.  The QX55 will slot between the QX50 and QX60 in the lineup but will borrow heavily from the QX50 platform.  Not much is known about the crossover except that it will likely be a front-wheel drive based vehicle and feature Infiniti's new 2.0 liter variable compression engine. 

    Infiniti says the QX55 will be in dealerships in Summer of 2020.

    The return of the Infiniti FX, gone since 2013.  I hope that this is the first Infiniti with an infotainment system that belongs in 2020 not 2010.  I still do not understand why anyone would want a CUV with a coupe roof.

    Oh good, not only will there be QX30, QX40, QX50, QX60, etc But now we can have QX45, QX55, QX65, etc.   The car companies are desperate to get crossover coupes on the market.  I can’t wait til this crossover craze blows up in all their faces.

    Does that include Mercedes Benz?

    Sure, they have 4 sedans to sell.  I won’t miss the death of the GLC coupe or GLA if that happens.

    Ah yes, the sedans that sell in less numbers overall than their CUVs. That makes complete sense </sarcasm>.

     

    As much as I hate the CUV market, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon with the exception of this crossover coupe nonsense. Those will eventually fade into the night.

    I really don't know where Infiniti is trying to go right now. They've already killed the QX30.  The QX50 is flopping hard. 

    The better question is why continue Infiniti (and Nissan) in the first place.  Both are not doing well.

    At this point they could go for luxury scooters with the direction they are headed......

    • A couple German phrases I know are ' Bitte ture schliessen' (please close the door, which I learned on the Milan to Venice train 20+ years ago, and 'fahrt nicht bumplitz' (do not drive to Bumplitz) which I read on a Swiss newspaper headline and it stuck in my head...
    • I've learned a few choice phrases in German. Recently, a few buses quarreled with each other by extended honking at a Sicilian airport.   There will always be a German or two or three on the shuttle buses, leaving the airport so I turned to one and said, "Die Sizilen ist unterhaltsam."  That means "Sicily is entertaining." One of the first things I learned is "die Sieben-vier-sieben is sehr gut."  That means "the 747 is very good."
    • I have no clue about current American music and I don't like what I hear.  I think it really peaked in the seventies, eighties and nineties ... and younger people who come to know that music also come to admit that same thing.
    • For Porsche owners long plagued by PADM system malfunctions, there is no longer any need to resort to blindly expensive repairs. The original factory sensors feature a rudimentary design; unable to withstand the daily stresses of high temperatures and road vibrations, detachment and failure have become the norm—leading to repetitive repairs that drain both time and money. Lumistag has professionally engineered a compatible sensor solution, custom-tailored specifically for the entire Porsche 911 and 718 model ranges. Featuring comprehensively upgraded craftsmanship and a robust, solid internal structure, these sensors offer anti-aging and wear-resistance capabilities that far exceed those of the original factory parts. Easily eliminate all fault warnings and bid farewell to chassis-related anomalies once and for all. Offering exceptional value without unnecessary markups, these sensors feature a non-destructive, "plug-and-play" installation process that requires no modification to the vehicle's original wiring. Built for durability and longevity, they represent the premier choice for Porsche owners seeking high-quality maintenance and repair solutions. https://lumistag.com/
