  • Road & Track July 2008

    "If gizmos are your thing-along with unique looks, solid handling and luxury surroundings--then this Japanese luxury/sport crossover is tailor made for you."

  • Winding Road June 2008

    "It's a sequel worthy of Hollywood, after all: bigger, flashier, and more explosive than the original."

  • Motor Trend May 2008

    "Power comes quickly and effortlessly as the FX50 rockets to speed, and the transmission makes it easy to keep things in check when descending steep grades." "...it corners well and feels confident in tight turns, making it a lot more fun than a regular SUV." "Performance is one of the vehicle's strong suits, and it excelled in our track testing."

    "With its new seven-speed automatic clicking off admirably quick upshifts to keep the engine in its power band, there's hardly a moment when the FX50 doesn't feel geared up for action."

  • AutoWeek April 2008

    "The most interesting and usable of the FX's numerous technological features is the laser cruise control that operates from 0 to 90 mph. No competitor has this, and we grew to appreciate it fully in the slogging madness of Los Angeles."

  • CAR and DRIVER April 2008

    "This new V-8 packs a mega-punch." "Seating accommodations are better in the front and rear, and we even found some extra usable space in the cargo area..."
