Replying to: towerman (Jul 11, 2007 10:10 am) No, the real-time traffic is unimportant to me, but I would prefer the 45x, which obviously is not available for '07. I just hope they improve the look of the taillights, as this is listed as one of the (presumably minor) "interior and exterior styling" revisions they will have for '08.

Replying to: towerman (Jul 11, 2007 10:10 am) I was at the dealer last week ... said the 08's will be essentially unchanged from the '06. Minor tweaks here and there but nothing substantive. IMO it would be dumb for them to take a 2 year old model and change it materially ... they're just STARTING to get an identity.   Bart

Replying to: pearl (Jul 03, 2007 2:34 am) No transmission in the parts bin? They have a pretty good CVT in their "in house bin", and right "down the street" is Aisen, who makes a mighty fine six speed. Replies to this message: pearl (Aug 09, 2007 11:51 am) 150mphclub (Aug 09, 2007 5:36 pm)

Replying to: 150mphclub (Aug 08, 2007 3:32 pm) 150Mph: if you had read my post, you would have seen that I said that while Nissan/Infinti did not have their own six speed auto, those transmissions are available from other suppliers. Buying one from someone else could solve the problem until they build one of their own (or maybe something better). Lots of companies buy transmissions from other companies - in this market segment, BMW buying from a number of other suppliers is a good example. Re CVT: yes they have one, but for some reason over the past three years, have not chosen to put it in their M sedans. Replies to this message: 150mphclub (Aug 09, 2007 5:36 pm)

#67 of 139 CANADIANS! - WHY BUY IN THE GTA, WIDNSOR OR ANY BORDER TOWN? by valueboy Aug 12, 2007 (3:44 pm)
I'm an M owner. If I buy another Infiniti product (and I will) - new EX? trade up M45? - Why would I YER buy from a Canadian dealer when the 5% exchange difference becomes a 25% greed mark-up on a Japanese manufactured import? M35x US MSRP - $43,250 M35x Canadian MSRP - $59,900 Average F/X over the last 6 months ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO FAIR PRICING. Go to Williamsville, or Buffalo, pay a few bucks for testing and papers to get the car legally back home, and you're done -saved $10K. (And I know some disguised Canada Nissan Sales poster will try to argue that there are 'model' (read:option) differences in the above list pricing - but come on guys - $10K???????). In fact, if you dig deeper, the Canadian dealers are probably trying to source their inventory from the US (it used to be the other way round, when the C$ was trading at 0.65 cents). In short - unless Nissan, Toyota and others get real quickly (to protect their bordertown Canadian dealers), I'm about to be a first-time customer in Buffalo - like thousands of other GTA folks who can afford $40 in gas to get there.   Valuebuyer Replies to this message: valueboy (Aug 12, 2007 3:50 pm) james27 (Aug 12, 2007 7:58 pm) love2drive1 (Sep 12, 2007 6:50 am)

Replying to: valueboy (Aug 12, 2007 3:44 pm) Correction - USD M35x MSRP is $45,265, not $43,265. But at today's 1.05 exchange rate, (about 5%), that's still more that CAD $10K less than the bordertown retail sticker price (same model/year comparison)   Valueboy

Replying to: valueboy (Aug 12, 2007 3:44 pm) The US version does not have daytime running lights, and there may be other (probably minor, but I don't know) differences. How easy that may be to overcome, you'd have to check into. Shouldn't be $10K Cn, though. Replies to this message: love2drive1 (Sep 12, 2007 6:50 am)

Replying to: james27 (Aug 12, 2007 7:58 pm) Even with adding daytime running lights, I think it will be worth buying a 2008 M45x in Buffalo. The short drive from Toronto will be worth more than the $10K example above used for the M35x.
#71 of 139 Daytime Running Lights by buddybrad Sep 18, 2007 (11:03 am)
IMO you can keep your Daytime Running Lights. There are very few times I would want them on. In fact, on my '03 BMW I had the dealer turn them off. With the newer Bimmers you can turn them on/off yourself through the onboard computer.   I'm really interested in an M, probably the M35x and test drive one every year. I just can't warm up enough to it to "pull the trigger." The price is right, but it just doesn't all come together.
