2015 Infiniti QX80 AWD review notes: Cheap gas, you say? - Autoweek

DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Mass still sells, whether it’s in bigfoot houses on teeny urban lots or traditional SUVs plying suburban shopping mall parking lots. Especially in this less-than-$3-per-gallon economy, full-size luxury SUVs have been cash cows for automakers, and Infiniti’s enormous QX80, while not the newest design on the block, is up 20 percent in sales this year despite prices ranging from... Granted, the luxury package added an instant $10K to our loaded QX80, but man, it’s positively gorgeous inside. From a quilted leather throne that feels about 9 feet high, the driver surveys what appears to be a full 4x8 sheet of matte ash punctuated with leather and brushed metal. The passenger seat, over in its zip code, gets a similar view, while the second-row seats are heated, individual buckets with a massive center console and rear-seat entertainment screens. Like all these huge ’utes, the QX80 hides its size well from behind the wheel. Source: autoweek.com
