Infiniti’s Hunky $75,000 SUV Charges Like Elephant, Smells Rich

I was once mock-charged by an elephant while on safari in South Africa. It was astonishing to see this massive, ponderous creature suddenly burst into motion, moving far faster than I could possibly flee on foot.

That scene ran through my head every time I slapped down the gas pedal on the 2012-model Infiniti QX56. A full-size SUV of such impressive girth you could swap the side mirrors for big floppy ears and call it Dumbo.
