In this case, however, I think the credit goes to Infiniti for establishing the sporty coupe-like SUV with the introduction of the FX in 2003, five years before BMW introduced the X6.
I don't know that BMW has introduced a new market segment in over 10 years.

I must agree, Infiniti innovated this sports/crosser/coupe in 2003. I saw one going down the road and was in awe. 6 months later I had a FX35 the later an FX45. Now im on my 2nd X6 50i(2015) and the improvements are impressive. The interior options really bring out opulence in the car. The FX replacement looks a little too much like a catfish in the nose, such a shame.
