The 2011 Infiniti QX56 has been caught at a consumer workshop event somewhere in the Middle East. as previously announced, the QX56 fullsize luxury SUV will live on, despite the recession.

Incidentally, the Nissan Armada, on which the current QX56 is based, is still scheduled to be canceled after the current-generation run is over. The next-gen QX56 will obviously be based on the 2010 Nissan Patrol, which itself was caught at a consumer workshop in the Middle East last winter.

Sources say the new QX56 will be powered by a 400 hp 5.6L V8 engine.
