Not a fan. I really hope Infiniti doesn't move their entire line-up to this type of styling. I'm sure it'll do well as it's based on the always popular Nissan Nurano.

Looks fine for what it is. Nothing I would be interested in.

The side profile of the rear makes me think Q7.

Not really a huge fan of it though.

Reminds me a bit of the Dodge Durango, I like the styling!

I think the JX is a glorified mini van. I do not like it at all.

It is front wheel drive, it has a detuned version of the 3.5 (only 265hp) and to top it off , it has a CVT transmission.

The Infiniti Venza. Why oh why oh why. I hate it, rather drive a Juke.

Like some of you, I'm not sold (yet) on the styling either. I'll have to see one in person. Sometimes pictures don't do a vehicle justice. My initial thought was like Wayne in that the interior is very mini-van-ish. The rear 2/3rds reminds a little me of the Odyssey we had.

I like the all the new tech they offer. I'm a tech junkie and look forward to having all the new features offered throughout the entire Infiniti line-up.

It's certainly no FX.

I didn't check that far into it; that sucks BIG time.

Hey Wayne, doesn't this mean we could simply throw on an aftermarket intake, re-tune and new exhaust to get 325whp.

CVT's suck. That is all.

I don't mind it at all. It's not the most beautiful thing on the road, but it's certainly not fugly to my eyes. The interior is downright gorgeous. As far as it being FWD (or FWD based AWD) with a CVT, the intended audience for this vehicle won't care whatsoever. It hasn't hurt Murano sales.

Second ugliest design Infiniti has made, right next to the new QX56.

Terrible.
