Should Infiniti offer an IPL version of the QX50 aka FX37?

 

[justspace]

No market for it. QX50 is an entry level compact SUV for families. I don't think performance is much of a priority or they would get the FX or QX60

thats true but I still see some younger guys in these, it's pretty much the smaller Infiniti FX. It's like how some people buy a G sedan over M.
might just be a matter of time till we see performance CUV's go mainstream

I would have to agree with justspace it is already a hard market for these types of vehicle making it an ipl would just complicate things and make them suffer from costs.

Just reread the question and realized how confusing that is. You want a IPL version of the QX50 or the FX37?

 

[MyQx]

I don't mind a FX37 or QX50 IPL but I just wouldn't be the one paying for it.

don't hurt your brain now, reread the question again:

the question is asking if you want an ipl version of the QX50 also known as the fx37

 

[RHA]

I don't know what the demand will be like but i don't see it happening.
it's more likely to happen with the next generation

So the IPL QX50 will be called the FX37?

The FX37 is a different car. And is not an IPL.

Yeah that usually is the case but Infiniti might be just holding back at the moment with IPL until all their line ups gets refreshed.

that sounds much more practical
but of course it depends what their aim is
they do have a heavy Formula 1 presence and did promote the Q50 alongside their Formula 1 car, which to me say a lot about where they want to go with their cars.

I hope they realized how badly the introduction of their IPL really bombed. I guess they are in behind closed doors working on something to regain the fan base for the performance models coming in at a later date.

 

[justspace]

That is because their IPLs aren't really that much better in performance. Kind of like how the F Sport packages are like for Lexus.

They are mostly visual.

the introduction of IPL's wasn't too bad
it would have been better if they did what lexus did, just right away they introduced a real performance model-the first time "F" was used- the Lexus IS-F

the F sport packages I felt were just a trim and were not really carrying any real performance gains. Hopefully something can change with the IPL models so it would be worth it to look in to buying.

 

[justspace]

They still have the actual F sport cars like the IS-F and the rumored GS-F

Infiniti needs real IPL cars and not just IPL trims and accessory packages.

 

[Sweet Tooth]

People will buy it simply for the image of having a higher trim level. Is there going to be another higher trim level that offers more performance though? I haven't heard anything...

Instead of a trim it should just be focused toward big peroformance gains...

 

[1nf1n1t]

starting smaller and fine tuning everything then improving performance and adding things to make a car faster and better is the better way to go about things. do it the other way around and it will back fire big time

with rumors of a 400-500HP IPL Q60 it seems like Infiniti is going to be like lexus.
