Exterior  - 2011 Infiniti QX56 Review - Reviews - Infiniti QX

Many people have openly expressed disgust with the QX's looks. I wouldn't call it 100 percent ugly, but 60 percent ugly sounds about right. Its proportions don't help. To my eye, its beluga-whale hood bulge and low-positioned headlights don't mix well with its tall, squared-off roof. It's like a G37 sedan drove into a giant top hat and Infiniti said, yeah, let's run with that.

I drove two QXs before the styling started to grow on me, which was also after I had seen it on the road a few times. I still wouldn't call it handsome, like the Audi Q7, but the Q7's awesomely sleek exterior comes at the cost of interior room.
