You know you drive a big SUV when it comes standard with a rear-view camera.
Infiniti's yacht-size luxury SUV, the QX56, comes from the factory with a fish-eye camera mounted above the license plate on the rear bumper to eliminate a big blind spot when backing up.
It's a great safety feature that helps the driver avoid hazards that they wouldn't otherwise be able to see out the back window - things like kids on tricycles, animals, or anything else that shouldn't get squished - by lighting up a video screen on the dash that doubles as a navigation system.
And the fact that the back-up camera comes standard shows how big - and I mean absolutely, breathtakingly huge - this SUV is.
If it fell through the atmosphere, it could have wiped out the dinosaurs. Its back seat could be a contender for hosting the 2012 Olympics. Its glove box could be declared a natural habitat for condors.
It's really freakin' big.
All this space is perfect for hauling lots of people and their stuff on long highway trips. In the first- and second-row seats, there's plenty of room to stretch out and relax, and even the third-row seat isn't too shabby. It's like the whole cabin was designed for NFL linemen.
But size isn't all that matters. In the competitive world of high-end SUVs, it also takes a cabin full of gizmos and quality materials to stay on top. The QX doesn't disappoint.
