so true.One reason Infiniti doesn't have wifi available is because most people wouldn't pay $30/month for internet when they can just use their phone plan. It is almost a smarter idea to just get a hotspot.
I don't agree with this. This is by far the quietest vehicle I've ever had. At 80 I don't hear any wind noise at all, and it barely feels like it's moving that fast.My last major one is better wind/road noise control. Tire noise seems to be well-controlled. Wind/road noise is not awful, but it's louder at 80mph than many competitors out there.
My wife's 2013 VW Touareg is quieter, as is the Audi Q7 and most certainly the Mercedes GL (although the GL is outside of the QX60's price point). I haven't been in a new (2014) MDX at highway speeds, but I am told that the new one is quieter than the QX60. Though I agree with you that Hondas have historically been awful in this department. My parents' Pilot is is like riding in a cargo van.I don't agree with this. This is by far the quietest vehicle I've ever had.

My wife's car is a 2008 Acura RDX, that thing is noisy as ****, but it sure does get up to speed fast.
I find it very quiet. But perception of noise is will be different, obviously.My wife's 2013 VW Touareg is quieter, as is the Audi Q7 and most certainly the Mercedes GL (although the GL is outside of the QX60's price point).

The QX60 isn't bad, but I hear a fair amount of road din and wind noise at anything over 65mph or so (no tire noise though). While your and my perspective can be different on this I have to ask - does your car truly make no perceptible wind noise at highway speeds or are you just saying comparatively speaking? If the former, perhaps I should get my car checked.
But look at the Nissan Pathfinder. It is an SUV that has 3 rows of seating. Placed above that (in most markets) is the Patrol (which is the QX80 in the US). All that being said I don't think that the QX60 would be stepping on the QX80's toes. The look of the vehicle would be totally different.all this talk about expanding cargo cap and 3rd row space seems to be forgetting that there is a QX80 above, Infiniti needs to be careful that the QX60 doesn't just become a FWD QX80...
With the 3rd row up, the cargo space will not even take a single stroller lying flat. You have to stand it on its side and then hear it alternatively bump against the hatch and the seat while driving.all this talk about expanding cargo cap and 3rd row space seems to be forgetting that there is a QX80 above, Infiniti needs to be careful that the QX60 doesn't just become a FWD QX80...
