In mixed driving we are getting 21-22. Long term highway moves up to 24, but we have not taken many highway rides more than 40 miles. Our 325 got 23 around town. When we moved and my wife's commute was approx 25 highway miles with a minimum of local, it actually rose to 28. So, mileage is a bit less, comfort a lot more.

Wow-23 around town, that's acceptable, I had the 2003 Type S and I barely got 17 around town.

Hey, I'm not ashamed of being limited in my rides. 
You're right about being interested in the data . . . research shows that men prefer an orange red and women prefer a blue red in paint colors (and clothes.) I stated a generalization -- general, not absolute -- and am pretty confident that sales data will back it up in time.
I remember when a good friend of mine (male) leased the Infiniti FX when they first came out . . . his male acquaintances liked it, his female acquaintances didn't. It's not the first time there is a gender difference in tastes!
BTW, does the new TL still retain the black steering wheel? If so, they should release the Arizona-limited edition TL, sans the black.

That was my BMW 325. It was amazing with gas, but winter traction and the stick shift got old for us.

I would doubt the trunk is too small for a few sets of clubs. Of course if the bag is like those I saw in "CaddyShack"...well, maybe.

I don't think personal observation qualifies as a statistical generalization . I'll wait for real stats. 
My wife also hated the style of every Infiniti.
The wheel on the taupe interior is black.

21-22 mpg mixed sounds pretty good to me for the sh-awd...now if I can just get another manufacturer incentive to come out I'll be ready to buy!
Thanks!

I have to check the sh trunk again....I have a concern... not about the overall space in volume, but, when I saw the one in the dealer showroom it had a variety of uneven levels / surfaces which could make it somewhat difficult to slide a big suitcase in on its wheels without having to turn it sideways to fit. With a large heavy suitcase that could be a pain. Perhaps it was the trunk liner the dealer put in...
I do believe there may be significant differences in the trunk layout (not in volume space) between the sh and base. I need to check it more closely...

I believe that the trunk for the SH-AWD is indeed slightly smaller than the FWD trunk and also has a surface that is not level because the rear differential protrudes into the bottom of the trunk.
