There was only a 42-horsepower difference between 2008 FX35 and 45; the new engines are now separated by nearly 90 horses. Also, the 3.5-liter's 303 horses are only 27 fewer than the 3.7 puts out, and its 6.1-second 0-to-60 time is actually faster than the previous FX45's. Despite what Infiniti says, though, the real story may be one of cost: the 3.7-liter is a more complex engine, and using it could've driven up the MSRP on U.S. models.

Basically, Americans are too cheap to pay more money for a better car. Hmm...why am I not surprised.
I'm really not too shocked considering how many people stroll in here like they own the place expecting to pay under invoice.
