NEW YORK AUTO SHOW: Carvel's Fudgie The Whale Has A Child And Calls It The Infiniti QX56

Well, there is no hiding this one. It is big, ostentatious and probably attractive to those with extremely thick glasses.

The all-new Nissan Patrol, uhm...er...Infiniti QX56 made its way into the Javits Center today and the reception was not tremendously positive.

In fact, it has become the joke of the pressroom. Industry colleagues are shaking their heads and I even heard one individual claim that "it looks like a melting candle."

Then there are the obvious comparisons. Like 001's assertion that it looks like Carvel's infamous Fudgie The Whale.

I see it this way, if that's Fudgie, then where the hell is Cookiepuss?

More importantly, we want to know what YOU think. All of the automotive snobbery in the Javits Center today will not be determining the new QX's sales numbers.
