What is your opinion on how the wheat looks with the black compared to the black/grey........ certainly you're in Hawaii and the heat is pretty intense there.... your thoughts? everyone's thoughts?
Wheat (Tan)
Graphite (Black)
Java (Dark Brown)
The "gray" you may be referring to might be the plastic that's still on the seats or the sunlight affecting the quality of the pictures coming from my puny 2.0 megapixel phone. Sorry about that.
Still, I think black/black (Black Obsidian/Graphite) works waaaay better than black/tan (Black Obsidian/Wheat). I don't like light interiors on dark exteriors. Just my own personal preference. Plus, darker interiors hide wear much MUCH better. Infiniti Wheat interiors get dirty pretty fast.
My '07 6M/T Sedan is black on black. I can tell you that if anything, a black exterior is harder to live with than a black interior. Wear and tear, rock chips and swirl marks (but the car sure does look sexy when it's clean ) are a bigger pain than interior heat issues. If you're ONLY getting Wheat because of heat issues, take my advice and get what you want by going with a black or dark brown interior. The heat problem can be mostly solved by simply tinting your windows. Not to mention the 50 and 35s w/ Premium come with air conditioned seats in addition to standard dual zone climate control that'll help even more. The car is only "hot" for the first minute or so anyway. Once you crank up the A/C or roll down the windows and get on your way, it's a non-issue. And it gets pretty damn hot here in the 808.

The FX is a car that looks good from some angles, and like complete and utter azz from others and the headlights are no exception. From dead on straight ahead they look like crap. But looking up at them from a lower 3/4 perspective really highlights them.

They could have been a little more conservative with the front. What did they have to gain? 3,000 monthly sales instead of 2,500. Why in the world would they want to gain sales? This seems to be the mindset at Nissan sometimes.

As for all you basement dwellers on your Mommy's 9" monitor whining about the size of the pictures I've posted, EVERY pic I take from my phone will continue to be 1600 x 1200. If you want them to be resized, YOU download them, shrink them, reupload them and host them. Then YOU can quote my post, edit the links, and PM me the revised post with resized thumbnails and links to the pics in their original resolution. After that sure, I'll be happy to edit my post for you.
I do enough by taking the pics and writing the review in the first place. Enjoy of GTFO.
