Is it just me or is this "allroad kinda looking" car a real sweet looking vehicle?
Saw one the other day with the 20" wheels and it was really nice. 315 normally aspirated horses ain't too shabby either. Props to Nissan/Infiniti for having some testosterone in their marketing/design teams! Gotta love being able to get 20" dubs from the factory!

Huh?
The only cheap part of the interior is that some of the plastic is a little shiny...it is not hard crappy plastic, but it is too shiny. The leather is very nice and covers part of the seat sides, but not all the way around (still more than most cars)...
The aluminum is actually REAL!
Other than the look of some of the plastic the interior is really very nice...
As far as the outside goes, everyone is entitled to one's own opinion, but I (and my wife) think it looks quite formidable...a very bold and aggressive front...huge wheels, muscular stance, some nice curves...and a back end that pulls it all together...with those cool LED taillights too...
Add to that 315 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque, a gnarly exhaust note, *****-*** acceleration (esp for a "crossover")...and a pretty good AWD system.
Then, add the technology package...including the Nav, DVD player, rear-view camera, intelligent key (open doors and start car without taking the key out of your pocket), 11 speaker stereo, etc. etc. etc.
Pretty damn nice...plus all the niceties of an Infiniti...good dealer service and a G35 when you bring your car in for service...
My wife wants me to trade my car for the FX45...I'm holding off...I've gotta see and drive a Touareg, Cayenne, and again drive the Range Rover, before I make any decisions...but this FX is really sweet!
Of course, your opinion is just as valid...if not more...but this thing is pretty sweet...I'd still rather have a Pikes Peak though!

I saw it in person and it is cheaply made inside. No comparison to the allroad in terms of materials, but then again, its got more hp at a lower price point.
