The comment paragraphs are amusing reading, comprising Motor Trend's typical
industry
kiss-@$$, call-a-sow's-ear-a-silk-purse brand of automotive journalism. Here is
my
favorite quote from the show review:
"Infiniti FX45
First shown at last year's NAIAS/Detroit Auto Show, Infiniti's
high-performance high-luxury FX45 crossover sport/utility
vehicle concept is now said to be much closer to an actual
production model. The tall-riding, all-wheel-drive
four-door sport sedan promises to have the roadgoing
agility of an SUV. "
In that case, how come they don't have wheels on the roof?
