August 16, 2008 – Motor Trend asked the question "Which fashion-forward sport/UTE rules the runway?" The answer was clear: the 2009 Infiniti FX. In a head-to-head comparison with the 2008 BMW X6, the magazine found that "the FX35 has many of the X6's strengths, none of its weaknesses, and a few great advantages of its own - for a lot less money." The editors also praised the FX's interior: "It's cleaner, more straightforward, and...warmer. The design and layout are inviting, with all the controls in easy-to-find places." Once again, it looks like the FX's redefining of the crossover has yielded convincing results.
