Lots of standard goodies, but you would expect thats what Infiniti has to do to seperate it from the Armada.

-DVD-navigation system with seven-inch screen, 10-speaker Bose audio with six-CD changer, dual-zone digital climate control with rear AC power doors and windows, cruise control, keyless entry, security system with vehicle immobilizer, tire pressure warning system, 18-inch wheels

With the extra features and power, I think its worth it but I still don't like its styling.

My Aramada Le has all those features. I think the big thing is the back up camera that uses the Navigation display as its screen.

I have two questions.

1.Is there going to be available height adjustable suspension on the QX56?

2.Is the air suspension limited to just the rear?

There is no height adjusting suspension available, only the automatic rear leveling which is standard.

This seems a bit behind the current offerings from Lexus and Lincoln, while not including vehicles like the Cayenne and Touareg. I think a height adjustable suspension should have been offered since hardly anyone would need 11 inches of Ground Clearance in a Lux SUV 100 percent of the time, and it would also improve the ease of entry and exit.

This would be another feature to differentiate the QX56 from the Armada. The way it is, there's not a compelling reson for me to pay the extra money for the QX56 when I can get the Armada for a lot less.

The Cayenne and Touareg are totally different vehicles from the QX56 and compare to the FX. The minimum running ground clearance on the 2WD is 9.9" and on the 4X4 10.6". The entry is very comfortable and not at all difficult due to the wide door, wide running boards and grab handles.

In comparing it to the correct vehicles such as Navigator, Escalade and Denali you will find it much more accessible and certaily more comfortable.

I could be wrong, but it seems Infiniti made minor changes on the front of the QX56 and make it a little bit more agressive! Check the pics on the TTC test drive and you will notice the front look a little better than the first pics of the QX56...the front does not look too timid or bowing too low anymore.

I could be wrong, but the Infiniti QX56 tested by Car Connection looks lot better in the front that the first pcitures of the QX56...The front looks little bit bolder and the lights don't look too small compared to that silver colored QX56 we were all looking at...What are you guys take on this? Check the pics on the car connection, the QX56 looks good from any angle.
