Thanks, interesting read!  Didn't realized how porky the Porsche is.  It's so much slower than the FX, it's impressive.

Can't wait to test drive the new FX at my local dealer.

This is what I like about the direction Infiniti took.  They went through the trouble of keeping FX relatively the same weight as last gen while adding to the wheelbase. Not to mention the fact that they added much more technology.

I know there is the complaint about the rear hatch not being a powered hatch floating around the many boards out there but frankly, I don't mind actually doing some exercise to lift the rear hatch.  After all, they made it out of a composite material this time around to make sure it is light.

I thought the last gen FX35 weight in around 3800 lbs for RWD and 2 tons for AWD, with the FX45 around 4100?

Thanks for digging that up.  I was feeling lazy. Smiley

Though that would push me more towards an EX35 vs the new FX.  Same engine, 300 lbs lighter.
