Help me decide on my next new Infiniti

Well after 6 months of ownership, I have finally decided to trade in the EX. The main reason is the lack of rear passenger space. I went to the dealership this morning and was looking at the M and the dealer gave me a fully loaded 2008 M45X to take home for the night. It's truely a wonderful vehicle, but I am not 100% sold on it.

At this point I will either get the 2008 M45X (approx $47k) or the 2009 FX35 (approx $45). The M is a dealer demo which has just under 6,000 miles, but the 4 year warranty begins when I sign the papers and drive the car off the lot. The FX is a brand new vehicle.

Right now I can't decide between both and would appreciate any input as I try to make up my mind.

M! Such a roomy sedan! I love the classy look and the leather is incredibly soft! My girlfriend's mom has one and she lets me drive it sometimes. God, I wish I had one, too.
I'm a fan of the first generation FX, the new FXs aren't to my liking. They look too... awkward.

I saw you post on the EX35 forum (atlex35). We picked up the same car a couple of weeks ago. Blk/Blk with Nav and Premium packages.

I still own the G35 coupe and check in here from time to time.

You'll love all the tech features.

I had a lot of the tech features on the EX, but I love the increased size of the FX.

This one was only one that was available in the color combination that I wanted...larger wheels can be added later.
