I remember the first time I saw the Infiniti FX in the flesh, I stopped and stared!

It’s was originally launched in 2008 globally, but locally only early last year with some minor tweaks. Sculpturally stunning, the FX looks like Bruce Wayne’s (Batman) day-to-day run around. It is super hero looking! The FX reminds me of a BMW Z4…
