Replying to: 18pctgray (Oct 19, 2005 3:36 pm) I'm not an engineer (nor do I play one on TV...nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night), but in a nutshell:   Every 3 decibels is a doubling of sound, every 10 is a ten-fold increase....However (there is always a, "however"), every 10 decibel increase is roughly a subjective doubling of sound.

Replying to: 18pctgray (Oct 19, 2005 3:36 pm) db is logarithmic. You can definitely tell a 2-3db difference. I've been in both cars too and the RL is always quieter. I really appreciated getting these numbers. It does confirm the exhaust "music" the M allows into the cabin, but when upon reaching cruising speed it's pretty close. The RL though is quieter.
#202 of 269 ...and the winner (for me) is: by Bushwack Oct 29, 2005 (8:15 am)
Most of the comparisons between the M35 & RL are on the money. While I like the M35's agressive exterior better then the RL's, the RL's interior (ergonomically) fits me like a glove. I also feel the nav system is better on the RL as is its stealth-like conservative appearance (hence why in the past I've owned a Buick Regal GS -something about driving a near luxury car with performance and amenities appeals to me). Both the M35 & RL have similar features and it all comes to personal preference, value....and price.   I just purchased an RL. For what I paid ($42K w/ 18" chrome rims), the value far surpasses an equally equipped M35. If purchase price for both vehicles were comparable, the decision to choose would have been extremely difficult. Replies to this message: msu79gt82 (Oct 29, 2005 7:08 pm)

I agree that interior is more important than the exterior as a deciding factor.
#204 of 269 The Back Seat by donbl Dec 02, 2005 (6:21 pm)
Trying to resolve between RL, GS300 and M35 and one determining fact may be the back seat.   Must take daughter and husband and a tall person will not fit in the back of the RL. It is really tight back there.   Could put him always in front but that is what it would take.   M has better clearance.   Other stuff seems about equal. Love that M demo disc for the surround sound. Might buy the radio and get the car as option.

I am averaging 16.9 MPG and do a 60/40 split between Highway and city driving.   I have not reset the milage calucation in about 6000 miles so it is a true long term average.   I wish the fuel tank was a little larger to increase my range. was used to getting 300 plus miles per tank in the Saab I drove prior.

Replying to: arizonaheat (Oct 12, 2005 3:08 pm) You're doing well. I'm on my third tank now and have barely been getting 15 mpg so far, all in city driving (which includes some time on city freeways).

#208 of 269 Just Got My Vin For My M35x on Dec 9th 2005 by saxman911 Dec 11, 2005 (6:40 am)
Hi all,     My dealer on Long Island (Atlantic Infinity) had a difficult time searching for my M35x (Premium Package) He did call me to give me a Vin number for the exact vehicle (Sand with Wheat interior) but had to go to another dealership. After making inquiries about the Vin number with Infiniti Corp, (1 800 662-6200) they informed me that the car left Japan on December 6th 2005. Here are my questions: Can this car be tracked as it crosses the pacific and heads for the east coast? (any website for this?) Also, the car is coming with the high polished Chrome wheels (18 inch) which I told my salesman I didn't want. Do you think infiniti will let the wheels slide or replace them with the standard 18 inch titanium hubs? Finally, if it left on December 6th from Japan, can anybody approximate a date when It would arrive at my Infiniti dealer on Long Isalnd NY?   Anyway, glad to be a new member here   TIA for all replies.   Alan Russell Replies to this message: pat (Dec 11, 2005 7:25 am) saxman911 (Dec 11, 2005 8:40 am) pat (Dec 11, 2005 9:03 am)

Replying to: saxman911 (Dec 11, 2005 6:40 am) Hi, welcome! Congrats on your arriving new wheels!!   Since this is a specific comparo between the RL and the M35, your question would really be better placed in our Infiniti M35/M45 2006+ discussion. Why don't you follow that link and repost there.   Again, welcome - hope your M35 arrives very soon! Replies to this message: saxman911 (Dec 11, 2005 8:40 am) pat (Dec 11, 2005 9:03 am)
