Why is Infiniti claiming to be the first with 360 visibility ?

In the QX commercial they show the overhead camera view and claim to be the first with that. Uhhh... Excuse me, I have that on my X5 ....

I believe Infiniti has a better and a full 360 degree view than X5. In fact, I believe the X5 has a 270 degree view, with no front view, which was a surprise to me as I test drove both.

I'm going based on what the commercial showed. Looks just like what the X5 has. Sensors cover the front. Maybe I saw incorrectly. Either way, I found it even funnier that they claim that the Tank they are selling drives Sporty.

apparently people that buy and drive the Lexus need to have cameras to keep their vehicle on the road more than BMW drivers, but the more i read here the more i wonder.

seriously? 360 view? ya'll should just hire a driver to haul your asses around.

well Lexus is still trying to perfect the auto-parallel-park feature...

and Merc failed at stopping that car with the distance sensor (ooooops!)

Top View is definitely taken from Infiniti's idea... it's definitely helpful for seeing if you're on the line or you just don't want to scrape up those 20s on the curb right there...
