infinitis are junk IMO i test drove a FX35 with 31 thousand miles on it back when i bought the Ram and i bought the Ram over the 35 for 3 reasons
1. NO SPACE it handled well drove comfortably but felt like i was cramped the cargo compartment has room enough for two raccoons to F#$3 in a wool sock .
2. price on maintaing the vehichle i heard horror storys
3. just down right cheap for a 06 with so little miles the leather was faded and cracked too all godly hell the brushed trim on the dash were discolered and had a weird flim on them and just the feel of the matierials felt cheap
FYI Infinitis are not junk. Yes the FX is small and can't compare to a truck for size, but that does not make it junk.
I had a G35 coupe for nine years, daily driver, and 50k miles. Same engine as the FX35 and just regular maintenance, no issues the entire time. I also had a QX4 which had 150k miles with no issues.
As far as the interior and exterior of the G35, it looked brand new when I sold it. Just like any vehicle, the owner just needs to take proper care. The QX4 was also in great shape, except one leather piece on the drivers side seat.
Just to keep this thread on topic
, IMO GM will not make these SUV into cross-overs in the near future. The size and ladder frame (towing) are indispensible. I can see them using lighter materials and more fuel efficient engines though.
