You can’t really see it very well in this picture, but trust me. See that blob of a midsize CUV? No no, the other one, the black one. It has a sticker of the windshield that reads “SPORTY”
I don’t know what planet would deem a blob of a midsize CUV to be sporty, but it sure as shit ain’t this one.

Infinity crossovers based on 370z platform (& vq37) are surprisingly sporty.

Have you driven an FX? It’s not a Miata, but it’s pretty sporty.

Isn’t that one basically a G35/7 wagon? Sporty for a crossover

I dunno, the FX is actually a bit sporty.
If it was on the Equinox then I might question it.

That’s because the FX is basically a Lifted Z wagon. It absolutely IS sporty.

Well, when you spend all your time sitting on the sofa eating cheese balls and drinking Dr. Pepper, then “sporty” is relative.

I agree with the general sentiment but, you could get a BMW X1 (a tall 3 series wagon) with a 3 liter turbocharged inline 6. There are always some exceptions.

Yeah the fx35 is probably the sportiest crossover you can buy. It’s basically a lifted hot hatch with a 350z motor

My moms X6 having the smallest engine available (3L turbo6) handles really good, & had lots of kick. It has so much grip in the corners, but it has the optional 315 section tires in the back & 275 section’s up front.

It’s “sportier” that the Equinox, no doubt. Still a blob.

Drive this and a Miata back to back. Then you’ll see how sporty it is.

I disagree I’ve always like the looks of it. Especially in a less boring color. Especially since this was on the market at the same time as he first gen for Edge, the king of all blobs

Disagree, the fx is a rather sporting cuv. It’s just got a higher center of gravity, but it’s a fun drive.

Well I’m sure that big Infiniti is slightly less sporty than a Miata.
But more sporty than anything Kenworth makes.

When I was in my 20s, there were sports cars and sporty cars. You didn’t want the sporty car - those were the ones where the cladding and stripes were the only performance upgrades.

It was very well thought out by BMW, raise the ride height a few cm, give it chunkier proportions, and use the X designation.

WTF, the Chevy thing in the foreground says, “Family Size” like it’s a 4lb package of ground beef. Yeah, thanks I can see it’s big.
Side note: I’ve always liked how the FX
sounds.
I remember when they first appeared on the market I could pick them out in city traffic noise, very distinctive.
Maybe the FX should just say, “Relatively Sporty!”

Ah but the worse part is that sticker actually means two people plus their crap when they “Family Size.” For an actual family, you’ll need a bus.
