For all its bulk the FX45 offers no more rear seat room than your average sedan and the luggage area is no bigger than your average hatchback. So, as I wondered earlier, what's the point? Ah, but I'm no longer upwardly mobile. In fact, at my age I'm happy to be mobile at all. Toys? I've got a digital TV, DVD player, and surround sound system with three remotes totaling 263 buttons and it's all I can do to turn the darn thing on. Obviously I'm not Infiniti's target market.
That doesn't mean I didn't get my kicks driving the FX45 or that I didn't admire the technology. It was fun (honest!) and, with reservations, I might recommend it to a guy who fits the demographics. Yet, at the end of the week, I was still referring to it as the Monster from Mars. With affection, of course.
