Infiniti QX 56

30-day price drop: $1,163


Infiniti's largest vehicle has a little bit of everything.  An all-new design for 2011, it offers V8 powertrain with a lot of thrust, one of the best interiors of any luxury SUV (get the Theater Package, believe us), and some actual off-road chops -- a rarity in a class that's usually all Neiman Marcus hat and no Holsteins. Its dramatic new sheetmetal -- well, you might love it or you might hate it, but you have to admit it's got style.  Perhaps Infiniti just picked the wrong time to debut a huge, high-class sport 'ute?  Whatever the reason, the price of the QX56 just keeps falling, and it has only been available for a few short months.

If Infiniti built a luxurious SUV with actual off-road capability, what can we say about the Range Rover?  The Rover is one of the most capable off-road vehicles available today, and the only one of the serious off-road set available with Alcantara trim and heated rear seats.  The Range Rover doesn't have the greatest mechanical reputation, but it does have a long heritage no Japanese rival could claim, and nearly everyone appreciates its modern classic styling.  But that isn't enough to keep it off this list -- prices have dropped over $500 in just the last 30 days.

    about now is when they launch the 2011 models, so it makes sense to drop the 2010 price

    Totally sensationalistic and misleading headline. To elaborate on what "duh" has said Mercedes sales are up 25% so far this year. Giving somebody a $2000. bigger discount on a $100,000 or 1400 bigger discount on a 40,000 2010 car because the 2011s will be here soon is perfectly reasonable and not a "fire sale" as intimated by the author.

    Sean ... I understand you only had so space to work with, but you should have mentioned whether or not these transactional prices included any new or additional incentive or not, as well as what percentage of the MSRP these reductions represent. Had you done so I suspect a completely different story would have emerged - a much more complete and meaningful story.

    Fact check Sean: the S63 is a V8, not a V12. The S65 is a V12.
