EDITOR WES RAYNAL:<\/b> This is one of the more underrated sporty utes in my opinion–if you can get your head around the notion of a sporty ute in the first place.<\/p>\n

I like the curvy sheetmetal; it looks cool and aggressive. The FX50 is a solid driver, too. The structure is robust, the V8 has great power–this thing is fast!–and sounds like a hot rod. And where the old FX suspension could beat you up, this car feels softer. Not too soft, but softer nonetheless. The sport mode didn’t do much for me; it just seemed to make the ride harder without <\/span> helping the handling. Just one mode in a properly setup suspension would be better. I could also easily live without the lane-departure warning.<\/p>\n

The dash reminds of the Infiniti G series and boy, are there ever a lot of gadgets to play with. The room in the back is decent.<\/p>\n
