I've decided no matter how hard I try I cant fall in love with the looks of the FX50S, no matter how hard i try. Especially at the price point. maybe 10k off and i'd consider it, but at nearly $60k, no thanks.

I think infiniti is going to ruin the next generation M with their 'softening' process and are going to be left with a very boring line of cars. Seems kind of like the 90's all over again?

You guys always default to the performance numbers. There's more to a car than how fast it'll go. (Boy, I'll catch hell for saying THAT!)

I haven't driven the car with the 7-spd trans yet, but I have to believe it's better than the old 5-spd setup (which I got on several occasions as a loaner, and even rented once). That damn thing was like a light switch ... you were either in 5th gear or 2nd - it was hard as heck to drive it smoothly, since any application of throttle would jerk it down 2 or 3 gears and make you look like some teenager on meth. I hated driving it. Give me something with plenty of power, but deliver it SMOOTHLY, and two more gears should do that!

I never had that issue in automatic mode to be honest with you.

And I'm always going to get on performance because Infiniti is the value performance brand.  If my focus was refinement and smoothness, I'd buy a Lexus.

This was news to me.  Thanks for pointing it out.


From viewing the Infiniti website, it appears that the Aero package is basically a front chin spoiler and rear spoiler.  Does it include anything else?  Does anyone have any photos to post of what the car looks like with a front chin spoiler, rear spoiler and/or Midnight Black Grille?


I think the upgrade is pretty significant for a mid-cycle model.  On the one hand, you could say what's the big deal, features are just being added that should have been there in the first place.  On the other hand, that comment could be made about almost any improvement.  I think the upgraded transmission in particular is a big deal improvement, regardless of whether it could have been added earlier.  It makes sense that the exterior was not changed, since that change would require retooling, and in my view the exterior is one of the strongest positive features of the car already.

The upgrades to the G37 Sedan are not enough to temp me to repace my 07 G37 Sedan.  But then with the current economic climate, I have decided to hunker down a bit on spending and am not in the market for a new car.  But if I did not already have a G35, and were in the market for a car, the upgrades would from my perspective make an attractive car even more attractive (except for the price increase).
