- 09 FX50
bmw 3 sseries coupe + sedan, audi a4, infiniti g35/M35+45, mercedes Eclass, hummer h2, escalade, denali, my mom's mercedes s430 4matic (lol), jeep grand cherokee v8,
and a few others....
those are all the different cars i was looking at when i was becoming of age......
we literally went form dealer to dealer so see what was up....
as for the bmw/MB/infiniti's....we ahve connections so i couldve gotten amazing deals
but ultimately..my granfather had bought the Fx for himself, but mostly to give to me when i got my license
and I thank him for it...and i do actually appreciate what is given to me and i'm not a spoiled brat like some people think i am...:frown: but i did initially help him pick it out because he needed a winter car to go with his MB sl65 AMG haha. so technically i picked out the FX in the beginning!

If you drive with a heavy lead foot every chance you get (which no one can blame you here) then you will feel the hit on your wallet. This is most attributable to the sports car like feel you have when your driving the FX. Hence your tendency to push it more often then not. This is also true if you do a lot of city stop and go driving.
I went to a dealer looking for a G35X (I wasn't familiar with the FX back than, and didn't fell like I needed a truck ). Told him what I wanted in the car and the $ I was willing to spend, they could not help me, so I walked out (I wasn't in a hurry to buy).
A month later I got a phone call form the dealer with the usual song & a dance. They asked me to go back because they were sure they could work something out. After spending an hour at the showroom...and being told by their 'top sales guy' that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a bose sound system, or just a regular one (because regular sound system was just as good)...I walked out again after telling him not to under estimate his potential customers. Even his helper (new sales person) whispered to me, when the 'top sales guy' was inside 'talking to his manager', that bose came with a sub in the trunk, etc. What an a$$ hole that guy was.
Another month later I got a phone call again. I figure it was end of January, and they had to get rid of what they had in their lots, so I went back. I met the sales manager. I told him about my past experience with them, and that I just stopped by there before going to Audi next door (which was true). After finding out who the last guy was, Charlie (manager) said "oh, that guy was an a$$ hole"...I just started laughing. I told him what I wanted in the car, and Charlie asked me if I was set on getting a sedan...I asked him why, and than we walked over to a 35, than test drove one.
I was so impressed with the 35, I didn't even ask about options or anything...no regrets. It had everything I wanted. Next thing I know we were filling out paper work, and I picked up my FX the next day.

Before the FX: Nissan 350Z and Altima 2.5S
Sold the Z and was considering:
FX35, Acura MDX, TL Type-S, Lexus IS350, Lexus GS350.
Selected the FX because it was the first SUVs that did not remind me of one. It was a grocery getter built for a man. Plus coming from a 350Z I already knew what the VQ could offer.

2006 G35 coupe!! Now that I am looking into buying a new car.. I'm having a hard time deciding between the 2009 FX35/50 or the 2009 G37s Coupe! Hmmm...
FX50... for one thing... they're more rare than the G37... but the G will most likely have mod options (if that's what you're planning on doing)
You can get a new G37S for $9500 OFF MSRP right now. They can't give them away. Killer deal for around $33K.
bump on an old thread, for the new members

I was suppose to get a G37 convertible before buying my 2009 FX35 this past March, but I get an message from my friend Kenny over at Infiniti of Massapequa that they had gotten a 2009 FX35 in with every single package and option maxed out. He already knew I was looking for the new FX with every package in the first place, but I also was considering the G37 convertible since I never owned a convertible before. But I was also interested in the 2009 FX cause the amount of technology and features it had were mind boggling lol. The inner geek in me told me to get the FX =]. Plus it was one hell of a deal I couldn't pass up.
