As the main author of the blogs that Grubbs Infiniti is authoring I read probably a dozen or so auto reviews per day. That can really take it's toll on your creative side considering most of the reviews look the same. Yes, the auto reviews with videos add some spice to the mix but for the most part it's a few images, features and pricing.
This lack of creativity in some of the auto reviews is why I was pleasantly surprised to find this review of the Infiniti FX50 versus Ford Flex from Edmunds.com in my Google Reader today. This is not a typical "comparable vehicle review" comparing two vehicles with similar characteristics but a review of two separate types of vehicles.
Here are some great excerpts.. but make sure to read the entire article at Edmunds.com.

Usually, we here at Edmunds are tasked with comparing apples to apples. But once in a while it's fun to consider apples against pears. Or even funeral coaches against fish. That said, this face-off has real-world merit because we know some parents will be torn between getting something rather sporty versus something more practical. We also know that some practical people don't necessarily want to drive something that loudly proclaims: "I brake for PTA meetings and bake sales." So we bring you the racy but controversially-styled Infiniti FX50 and the more conservative and practical yet still cool Ford Flex.
The Flex looks like a hearse. Unless you're some goth kid who loves The Cure and hates his parents, hearses aren't cool. In fact, hearses are kind of a bummer, since they make you think of death, and death is sad. The FX50, on the other hand, looks like a steroidal sea creature from the Black Lagoon.
Well, Mr. Clarke, it's a good thing your FX50 is a little faster, because if we're taking our All-Star little leaguers and their friends to the game, you're going to have to make another trip to get junior's two friends you had to leave behind initially.
The FX50 seats 5. According to the most recent Census, the average American family consists of just 3.14 people. 3.14! The FX50 is big enough for 3.14, and maybe even a crabby mother-in-law or two. Mr. DiPietro, it's time for you to bury that tragic hearse and start living. Come over to the Cool Side - we've got candy.
Check it out for yourself.. you won't be disappointed.
