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.

Just got a 2008 M35 to replace my 06 (both leased) with tech package and nav. Here are my very first observations.
 
The navigation system has a number of pluses over the 2006. 1) records CD's onto the hard disk into a "music box". 2) Input by CF Card 3) Ipod connector 4) audio connectors in back of console 4) Trainable voice for multiple users 5) touch screen input. 5) XM standard and well integrated (wasn't standard in 06).
 
The negatives (or disappointments) include 1) the manual clearly shows how many voice commands they get in canada (wow) and how few we get in the US....it is crippled to the point of being useless other than for nav, in my opinion. eg. you can turn the climate control on or off..that's it. 2) Still no search by street and then select the city 3) you still lose significant function when the car is moving....there's no change here..it still sucks. 4) Fuel economy guage is now graphical so you can't see 16.6 or 17.1..you see a bar graph. 5) She still talks too much...great for demo's but after you learn the system, you don't need all those prompts (I've already changed to short prompts which doesn't seem to do a thing).
 
More later after I try Bluetooth.
