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.

No.

Alrighty then, drive one, get back to me.

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

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > shop-teacher 07/25/2017 at 21:14

I dunno, the FX is actually a bit sporty.

If it was on the Equinox then I might question it.

Your boy, BJR > shop-teacher 07/25/2017 at 21:17

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

Crazie Kanuck is correct.

This is the only convincing point.

No. Is blob.

It’s a blob. Not saying it’s a bad car, but it’s a blob.

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.

The FX started the idea of a crossover being sporty, I’d drive one

I’m not saying it’s a bad vehicle, but it’s still just a blob.

WilliamsSW > shop-teacher 07/25/2017 at 21:37

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

Yes but it’s a sporty blob.

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

And I thought you could get those with the V8 as well.

I think it’s ugly.

shop-teacher > HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles 07/25/2017 at 21:51

I personally think this and the Edge are both fairly ugly blobs.

I don’t fit in Miatas.

I’m not really into BMWs, but something about the X1 just looks right to me. I dig it.

WilliamsSW > shop-teacher 07/25/2017 at 21:55

Well I’m sure that big Infiniti is slightly less sporty than a Miata.

But more sporty than anything Kenworth makes.

it’s got coop like handerling though

Yeah, I’ve always hated the way Enzos look. They’re at least sporty though :)

shop-teacher > WilliamsSW 07/25/2017 at 22:04

I suspect you’re right on the money there.

It’s BMWs way of getting people into wagons instead of SUVs, I love them for that.

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.

Blobby mommywagons are sports cars. Really. I’m serious. They are.

Same difference.

His Stigness > shop-teacher 07/26/2017 at 00:44

I’m convinced those sticker blurbs are put on as a joke because I have never seen one that fit the car.

Good point!

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!”

functionoverfashion > His Stigness 07/26/2017 at 10:53

e.g. Family Size on the car in the foreground. Yeah, I see it’s big, but I can fit the same number of people in my Civic.

His Stigness > functionoverfashion 07/26/2017 at 11:25

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.

shop-teacher > Your boy, BJR 07/26/2017 at 12:07

Also true. I know blobs when I see them. This is a blob.
