for those of you that dont know there is going to be a SABASTIAN VETTEL EDITION FX50!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY LOOK IT UP!!!!! SO THINK AGAIN BEFORE YOU WANT TO BUY A NORMAL FX.
@mrmactknife obviously you haven't driven one to arrive at such a poor opinion. FYI, the Infiniti FX is a luxury crossover than handles like a sports car. It is not your normal school bus
@speedmaster001 I haven't driven one, but I don't see how that makes my opinion poor. Watch the video again, body roll in the pretty much every corner, yeah it wasn't a massive amount, but it's there. The FX50 has 390 horsepower, but weighs 2120kg. The G37 Coupe on the otherhand has 320 horsepower and weighs 1719kg, that's a whopping 401kilos lighter, couple that with rear wheel drive, and a lower centre of gravity. The G37 would of blitzed the FX50 around that course.
@speedmaster001 The FX50 is the most expensive car in Infinti's range, so it doesnt take a genius to work out why they made Vettel use it for this elaborate "commerical". I still stand by my orignal comment though, it's a "soft roader" not a proper sports car, their G Coupe would beat it easily on any track.
In 2004, in the German Formula BMW, Sebastian Vettel won 18 out of 20 races and finished on the podium even in the remaining two (2nd and 3rd). HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY PURE DOMINANCE. At the List of Formula One Driver Records page at Wikipedia, he already has more entries than Alonso, Hamilton, and many others. Basically, the only guys in front of him are Senna, Schumacher and the like. LEGENDARY!!! In a couple years, he is SURELY the only guy in F1 today, who could beat MICHAEL's stats!
@stunnaonflyrims He didn't lose, his CAR did - no KERS, showing that the car is not all that dominant, it is rather the driver's consistency... He has achieved a level of flawlessness (even with occasional driver errors and misunderstandings - such as Turkey 2010) that is absolutely shocking, especially within so few F1 races. For example, Canada 2011 was no driver error. It was, ON THE CONTRARY, totally logical. He saw he WOULD be passed via DRS, so he HAD to go BEYOND what's possible... GENIUS
@jakubkrcma He LOST. Get over it... Says to in timing and scoring for Formula 1 and in REALITY. Stop making stupid excuses its a fact. Vettel + RB7 = ALMOST Perfection... almost. Genius... HELL NO... an elite F*** yes! I hate him but I do give him his credit.
@stunnaonflyrims His car had a problem severe enough to prevent maintaining his distance and keeping Lewis beyond the DRS time gap. He makes errors, mostly tiny, but in China and Canada, he did not fail. In Canada, the only reasons why "he" lost are a) the chaotic events during that extremely long and disrupted race and b) McLaren cars being obviously better in the race. Jenson won, despite having spent years in the pits, Lewis was even faster, but crashed, again. So far, he's been unbelievable.
@stunnaonflyrims You need to understand that without the safety cars etc. (none of which was caused by him), his race pace was fully sufficient for a win in Canada. It is a bit like Singapore 2008 - Piquet crashing so that Alonso can win. This time it was Hamilton for Button, although, OBVIOUSLY, not intentionally. But still, the mere fact is wrong in principle... A team should not benefit from its own errors. Just facts, dude. And, BTW, why do you HATE Vettel? He may be a kid, but I know worse!
@stunnaonflyrims And I don't give a FUCK who LOST or WON. ALL I care about is WHO IS THE BEST! On PAPER, Prost LOOKS better than Senna!!! More Championships, more wins, more fastest laps... In REALITY, Senna was YEARS ahead in every way - in the dry and in the wet, qualifying and race... Just very unlucky, sometimes a victim of driving-unrelated politics. Today, the BEST driver is Sebastian Vettel OR Nico Rosberg. That's my perception. These two would make a FABULOUS team. TOTAL MASSACRE.
@stunnaonflyrims Actually, Canada 2011 could also be interpreted as Button crashing into Hamilton to cause a safety car. Of course he would NOT do that - I think he is a TRUE gentleman, unlike Hamilton (still). But still, he was losing over 13 seconds to Vettel before the Hamilton-related safety car and only over 6 seconds right after that safety car. This difference alone gave him the victory, in the end. So not only a team benefiting, but also the specific driver involved benefiting. Not cool.
@jakubkrcma It was a racing incident... get over it. He LOST. BTW you forgot a JUGGERNAUT in your horribly subjective evaluations of F1 Statistics Kimi Raikkonen. You cannot justify a lost race as a victory; mistakes were made get over it. Hamilton, Kobayashi, Massa, and Alonso really keep the race edgy and bring a different batch of racing accolades into the sport. Hamilton... gentleman champion? NO! World Champion. Plus even the driver with the most wins said Senna was the best... get over it.
@stunnaonflyrims I can justify anything, if it's TRUE. Every knowledgeable person, including Michael, understands Senna was the best. But there are idiots who say crap like 1988 wasn't deserved (Prost scoring more points). Not only it WAS deserved, actually 1989 was deserved JUST AS MUCH. Senna simply was a 4-time consecutive World Champion, robbed by idiots. And Kimi was probably the most unlucky dude ever - 6 out of 8 seasons with top teams having an unreliable and/or incompetitive car.
@stunnaonflyrims And Hamilton is NOT a World Champion, because in Canada he crashed into his then-nearest Championship condender (Kimi) instead of the car he was originally going to crash into, overlooking the lights. Then, in Spa, it is beyond any doubt that he cut the chicane at the very last moment without PHYSICALLY HAVING TO (you can only cut when necessary, not advantageous - and you must make sure no advantage is gained), gaining unfair advantage and then exploiting it. Unbelievable...
@stunnaonflyrims There are PROPER Champions and CHEATER/UNFAIR Champions. E.g. some of Michael's 7 titles belong into the first, some into the second category. And in 2006, he was actually very probably robbed in Monaco, which influenced the rest of the season a LOT. Basically, you need to study and analyse everything very thoroughly in order to find out who actually is or isn't who. Nobody's perfect and there are aspects of Hamilton, Schumacher, Prost, etc. that I admire. But they don't fool me
@stunnaonflyrims The thing that makes my opinions strong is my intimate knowledge of the timing and physics involved. There are things that may look similar, but are completely different from the driver's point of view. Something may look like a "racing incident", but in fact is an intention, and vice versa. Most of these guys were dominant in a lower racing series (or several different series) before F1. They know VERY well, when a maneuver is or is not fair. Some respect that, some don't...
@stunnaonflyrims For example, Lewis' swerving in front of Petrov in Malaysia 2010 was good for an instant DSQ (and life threatening for both drivers, marshals, and spectators). Yet, all he got was a reprimand... And then he wonders why people (who understand F1) don't like him... If Michael did the same move, they would hang him in the pits... Bigots... Lauda is absolutely right when he says that keeping the Monaco and Canada way, Lewis is going to kill somebody or put them on a wheelchair...
red bull uses renault engines. vettel is defending champion of F1 and one of the best drivers in the world. not that you stupid americans would know that
@OneOfOne I am a European, but calling Americans stupid JUST because they have a NATIONAL market and culture SO huge that they basically don't need any external info is not fair. I fully understand that Americans don't need to care about Renault, Vettel, Formula One etc. It may be unusual, from our European point of view, especially from my Czech point of view (small country), but it is that way and I do not say that if I was born in the USA, I would be ANY different from them. We need tolerance
@apexi957 i meant on the formula one cars. i know their team they've always used renault engines, but i dont see the renault name on their cars anymore.
They are using Renault engines but there is an alliance between Renault and Nissan. (Renault owns 43.4% of Nissan while Nissan holds 15% of Renault)
Infinity obviously can profit more from F1 marketing than Renault or Nissan. Renault and Nissan are very old brands with a long history, but Infinity is just a blank slate with no identity at all.
@ahmer9800 Infiniti's are great cars, I have owned two of them 2005 G35, 2007 G35. I think they are much better cars then Lexus's. but they are also no M3 or even close to a BMW, but I do think they have there place in the market.
@ahmer9800 It is all about marketing. I have an FX45 now and Love it. But DAMN infiniti, this is your chance to make the FX50 vettel edition STICK SHIFT hehehehe.
@callsignCh4rl13 Hahaha point taken, put the FX35 is in a entirely different market compared to a Fiat. That's like comparing apples to oranges or a Kia to a Mercedes. But I get what your saying. =)

there is a difference between being rich, professional driver, and owning one.
because car companies do give racers free cars for advertisements.
It's clever advertisements, because if you see him driving this car now, you'll think it's a good car and want to buy it yourself.
I'm not saying the FX50 is a bad car, but you should use your opinion on buying a car.
