The QX70's bottom end is anchored by what was once known as the rear-wheel drive FX37. Now called the QX70 3.7, that model is powered by a 325-hp 3.7-liter V-6 and starts at $45,945. One step up the ladder is the all-wheel drive version, the QX70 3.7 AWD, which goes for $47,395. TheFX50QX70 5.0 AWD tops the range at $62,495 and is powered by a 390-hp 5.0-liter V-8. Both QX70 variants use a seven-speed automatic transmission.
As for the ex-JX35, the front-drive QX60 starts at $42,545, with the all-wheel-drive QX60 AWD starting at $43,945. Though the QX60's base price has increased by $300, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror is now standard, and the option packages have been revised. Infiniti plans to announce pricing for the QX60 Hybrid pricing at a later date, though the automaker has said that the hybrid QX60 would cost about $3000 more than the non-hybrid version. That would put the QX60 Hybrid's starting price at around $45,545, with the QX60 Hybrid AWD starting at $46,945.

I generally like writing—especially when it’s about cars—but I hate writing about myself. So instead of blathering on about where I was born (New York City, in case you were wondering) or what type of cars I like (all of ’em, as long as it has a certain sense of soul or purpose), I’ll answer the one question I probably get most, right after what’s your favorite car (see above): How’d you get that job? Luck. Well, mostly. Hard work, too. Lots of it. I sort of fell into my major of journalism/mass communication at St. Bonaventure University and generally liked it a lot. In order to complete my degree senior year, we had to spend our last two semesters on some sort of project. Seeing as I loved cars and already spent a good portion of my time reading about cars on sites such as Motor Trend, I opted to create a car blog. I started a Tumblr, came up with a car-related name (The Stig’s American Cousin), signed up for media access on a bunch of manufacturer’s websites, and started writing. I did everything from cover new trim levels to reviewing my friends’ cars. I even wrote a really bad April Fool’s Day post about the next Subaru Impreza WRX being Toyota-Corolla-based. It was fun, and because it was fun, it never felt like work. Sometime after my blog had gotten off the ground, I noticed that Motor Trend was hiring for what’s now our Daily News Team. I sent in my résumé and a link to my blog. I got the job, and two weeks after graduation I made the move from New York to California. I’ve been happily plugging away at a keyboard—and driving some seriously awesome hardware—ever since.
