Our drive test of the £100,800 Infiniti FX Vettel Edition provoked some pretty strong feeling both on Twitter and the comments section. Most was negative. OK, all of it was negative.
It's a great car to drive but the looks of the standard FX divide opinion. Add in the £100k price tag, acres of carbon fibre and Vettel's name, and feelings run high.
"100k? what kind of tasteless cheshire footballer would buy that cocaine white hulk?""How can a respected F1 driver put their name to something so hideous just because its got a fancy new seat material, some shiny hoops and a sprinkle of carbon fibre.""Looks like it should have a Ssangyong badge on the front.""Looks well, but £100k for a posh Nissan X-Trail? Hmmm not sure...."
"100k I could buy a top end disco and a golf R32 to play around in."
That last comment got us to thinking. What else can you buy for £100,000, if not an Infiniti FX Vettel Edition? Quite a lot as it turns out...
 |
£100k buys a FX Vettel Edition or a Range Rover SDV8 Autobiography |
 |
You could buy both a Mercedes C 63 AMG and an Audi Q5 S Line for £100k |
 |
Or 10 Dacia Dusters for the price of 1 FX Vettel Edition |
 |
Go Porsche and buy a Boxster S and Cayenne V8 for £100k |
 |
Jaguar F-Type V6 and a Range Rover Evoque for the same money as the Vettel |
 |
How about 4 Kia Sorrentos? |
 |
Aston Martin V8 Vantage or Infiniti FX Vettel Edition? Your choice |
 |
Alternatively this flat in Kensington costs £100k. The same as the Vettel |
