Looks very odd.  Family resemblance gone way too far.

That looks terrible, and the back looks like the Hyundai Veracruz.

So does the front.

No thanks.

Nope. It looks like the G knocked up the FX and this is the baby. :tounge:

It looks kinda odd, mainly from the front. The back looks ok, nothing great though. The interior looks great though. Should be a nice one to drive too... if it didn't look odd.

Why do people hate Infiniti interiors? Is something wrong with me?

Nope, I think they're excellent.  Most people I know like them a lot.  The G35 I tested was top notch.

I think Infiniti interiors are nice.  :huh:  That steering wheel looks cool...nice and thick, like a BMW's.

What's the trend with 3 spoke steering wheels being "sporty"?  My supra has a 3 spoke and my z06 and pathfinder have the good old 4 spoker.  I don't like the fact the 3 spoke has a spoke directly at the bottom of the wheel so it's impossble for my hand to just hang relaxed at the bottom of the wheel (my favorite driving position).  And also the spokes of a 3 spoke tend to be like 2-3 inches wide, while the 4 spokes tend to have spokes that take up less wheel room.  Overall I feel there is still more non-spoked wheel room in a 4 spoked wheel despite the extra spokes.  Also the ultra wide spokes on the 3 spoker make it hard for me to wrap some fingers above and below the spoke for a firm grip, instead my fingers just sort of hit the back of the spokes.

I also don't know what's the obession with fat steering wheels.  I drove a rental Pontiac that had fattened areas where one normally grips the wheel at 10 and 2.  At first it made the steering wheel feel more substantial, and it was kinda cool. After about an hour of driving, my hands ached and it was far more comfortable to grip the standard thickness areas.

Way too much spoke analysis. ;)

Yeah I spend way too much time sitting in the car bored out of my mind.

Front says Santa Fe G35, rear says Veracruz.
I don't see Santa Fe at all.  It looks identical to the G35 sedan.

i actually like it, as i always wanted an fx35 (fx45) but couldn't bring myself to paying the ultra high price. it'll be a great addition to the already steller infiniti line-up.

infiniti is looking to attract 50/50 male/female sales with the all new ex35. infiniti has more male buyers than all of it's major competition. they want to change this with new models opposed to "softening" it's current collection of vehicles.

will i buy an fx? i'm still considering a new nissan maxima se or infiniti g35x 1st.

The Caddy has a two-spoke wheel, and thousands of Citroen drivers got along for years with one spoke.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
