Try edmunds.com/new cars/comparisons. You can compare any 06/07/08/09 cars in side to side format. You can do similar research at kbb.com.
Hope I won't get reprimanded for bringing up a competitors site. Just kidding.

You can click on this link for a head start on what 150mphclub suggests. I can't seem to create a link for that other site, though. Oh well, I'm sure this one will be quite helpful.

Great car. How much entertainment do you need? 2007 may be much better deal. Hope you own a gas station. Needs 6 speed tranny.
2006 M35X.

TY for your opinion. I ended up leasing an '08 M35X and it is a superb vehicle (as was the '06). However, the gas mileage is horrific... less than 19mpg on mostly hwy driving. A 6-speed transmission would improve mileage and improve my overall satisfaction.

The 6 speek trans will most probably only help with a 2 or 3 mpg improvement. Infiniti needs to start thinking of more fuel efficient engines as they are way behind other manufacturers in this dept.

2 or 3 mpg would be a 10% improvement and this engine could be tuned for another 10%, if Infiniti wanted to do it. I don't think Infiniti cares about mpg. They are too busy trying to get the "experts" approval for outperforming BMW.

Today, the 2009 FX enters the scene officially with the 3.7 engine (and the 5.0 V8) as well as a seven speed transmission and paddle shifters. Suddenly the M35/45 are looking very old.....

I believe the 2009 FX35 just retunes the 3.5 engine for 28 extra HP, but it does get a seven speed, which the M35 desparately needs.

Will the 2009 MX get the 7-speed? Folding rear seat option would be good also. Don't accept the RS-A Goodyears.
Many bloggers are astounded that the new FX is so ugly. I will visit a showroom when it comes out.
