New Infiniti in the garage.. 2009 FX35
The wife traded in her 06 FX35 this weekend. Driving impressions so far:
The suspension re-work (double wishbone in place of struts) makes for a smoother, more comfortable ride yet with less or equal body roll in the corners. The VQ35HR feels much more peppy than the 06 FX35's engine and seems to rev forever. The JATCO 7AT tranny is a big improvement. The two extra gears are mostly used to increase performance, with 7th used as a cruising gear that delivers about 2100rpm at 80mph. The tranny locks up the torque converter much more readily, which eliminates much of that "slush-box" feel you get from a loose TQ converter and makes the car feel more like a manual. The car also likes to downshift while slowing down, eliminating the previous FX's tendency to want to keep going as you approach a stop. This car feels like it wants to cooperate and come to a stop rather than fight you and keep rolling. Shift speeds seem about the same as the 07 G35 sedan's 5AT. Overall I think it is as much a better FX as the G37 was a better G. The car is quieter inside, better assembled (smaller body panel gaps, better interior fit/finish), and can push you into the seat a bit now when accelerating. Here's some pics:

Congrats. The exterior will take time to get used to. But everything else is a big plus.

Whenever I look at new Infiniti interiors a little part of my soul dies (because they destroy my 04).

I need this. I'm tired of being at 2500 at 70mph

Very nice. I'm starting to like this new FX more and more every time I see it. The cross hatch pattern on the seat looks pretty cool.
