Oppopinions: 2009 Infiniti FX35

We went to the dealer who had the E55 AMG Estate, but unfortunately it had sold and was awaiting shipment to CA. He did let us fire it up, though. Anyhow, he just got this car in today, and it was a car my dad always like and I never cared for. I mean, I liked the styling, but I always thought the rest of it was a bit lame. Well, that was the old FX, and this is the new one. The new one with a 303hp V6 that does 0-60 in 6 seconds, has every gizmo and gadget you could imagine, drives and handles like BMW is supposed to, and has a wonderfully nice interior to boot (unlike the old one). !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and looks factory fresh. NPoCP, and what do you think of them? Plus check out this guy's there inventory.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's every bit as good as the X5 and XC70. Maybe even better in some ways. Everything about it is like a "budget" Cayenne, apart from the lovely interior, which trumps some Lexus and Mercedes SUVs I've been in.

At the Blacktop Nationals autocross there was a guy that ran one. HOLY SHIT IT WAS FAST

He was running right around the middle of the pack with the firebirds and camaros

It's rwd and you can't get it with a 5.0 v8

I like it in a weird way.

It goes and drives like a V8 sports sedan. It was glued to the road.

This one was insane... the announcers were making fun of him for having a "soccer mom's SUV" in the mix of GTOs, Firebirds/Camaros, Corvettes, Miatas, and a Chevy Sanic (JayhawkJake)

Then he promptly ran a 60 second run right out of the gate...

fastest was 49.xxx by a guy in a 01 Boxster

This one is AWD, and you could get it with a 5.0 V8, so...

These things are way nicer than they get credit for! Kinda sad it doesn't have the insane turbine rims but everything else about it; especially the quilted seats makes up for it! I also love the funky exterior styling.. its just mean looking

I always thought they were a bit pricey new, but at that price used, total NP

Also, way more reliable than an MB!

Very reliable, as it turns out.

Oh I thought the 5.0 was rwd only thing.
