OT: Infiniti FX35/45
 

Have you guys seen this thing? This, I believe, is now my favorite car being produced right now. If I wasnt poor I would be at the dealer right now buying one. 315hp, awd, vdc, and lots of room. What more could you ask for?? :) ;) :D

Mike

neat pic Mike!!!
 

Mike,

Son, spouse and I are going to the Toronto International Auto show tomorrow and I can't wait to check that baby out!

It looks great and is AWD too!!!

Hope the $$$$ are not too huge but its likely 45-50K CDN...

Bank robbery is one thought that comes to mind!!!

ps: the shot you posted is awesome: poster like, even!!!

Kinda reminds me of a AMC Eagle. Minus the wood trim of course.

HAHA... I was talking to my dad about it on the phone today and he was like "is that the one that looks like the AMC Eagle?" LOL.

Mike

You know what? It does look like an AMC Eagle! :p My first thought was that of an "earth shoe" - taller in the front than in the back. I've seen the commercial for it and it looks cool but that pic makes it look a little cartoonish IMHO.

I do love the power and drivetrain that bugger has though! :cool:

that is a really sharp looking car...wagon......little suv........:)

*cough* who sent you the link in the first place Mike?


P.S.THIS IS POST # 50000 FOR THE MAIN FORUM!!!!

Not you... I saw an ad for it on TV last nite during Frasier and went online to check it out.

what more could i ask for? ;)
how about an SUV with a 450hp twin turbo V8 that can lap the Nurburgring faster than a Skyline GT-R.......
it ain't real pretty, but it doesn't need to be. :)

Well I guess I should have specified "affordability."

:) i can't afford nuthin' right now. that Infiniti IS nice, though.

that is one of only 3 SUV type cars i would ever buy...very nice machine.

i'm actually really liking the Honda Element.. I kind of dig the boxy look. Unfortunately it only has like 160 horses and about the same amount of torque.. I'd want a big six or maybe a turbo four under the hood to generate a little more twist at the wheels so i could use it to tow things..

Alan - a loyalist to the end! :D

Wow, impressive stats though, I heard they were coming out with an SUV, I didn't realize it was going to be so worthy of its marque!

Re: Re: Re: OT: Infiniti FX35/45
 

Affordability is still a relative term. Last time I checked Infinity was a luxury brand and I'm sure this thing isn't an option for 95% of the population (practically speaking as far as what the average family can afford on car payments). Even the Nissan Murano (which I think it's based on) is borderline out of price range for a lot of us on here.

They are nice looking machines though with some great stats!
