This sounds like a stupid idea to me since the new designations are completely ambiguous in meaning.

Take a QX70 and QX60. Assuming the QX70 is the more expensive car, what makes the QX70 > QX60? Is it:

a) Same size, but larger engine (BMW 335 vs. 328).
b) Larger size, but same engine (BMW 535 vs. 335).
c) Smaller size, but larger engine (BMW 135 vs. 328).

I don't know Inifiniti's lineup that well so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the answer is C. I would not have guessed that from the new QX70 and QX60 model names. BMW's nomenclature isn't perfect, but it's much easier to understand than this.
