They really coudn't price it lower than a G35, with the same engine and all the same features.

They should sell like hot cakes.

Infiniti did an amazing job on the EX in every aspect - price, features, performance, style - no one else will be able to touch it.

Everything is good about it, except rearseat and cargo room. I know it's supposed to be a "compact crossover" but they took "compact" a little too far.

So what's the point now for those looking to buy the Murano? Or is this smaller in comparison to the Murano?

You guys worry way to much about what I "think" and "say". Maybe you guys should write Infiniti a letter.

I am glad you discovered the "rolleyes" icon, as much as you use it.

Lol at defending this thing.

This is quite a bit smaller than Murano. The Murano is closer to, if not slightly bigger, than the FX.

looks like a horrible attempt of someone trying to swap a G35 face and RX bumper/fog lights on a Rogue...

I want Infiniti to succeed. I just think the base model prices should be about $500 cheaper and the Journey model prices should be about $1000-$1300 or so cheaper.

We'll have to wait until it comes out in person and see what the market says, but I certainly don't think that "no one else will be able to touch it". I'm biased (look at my sig), but I'd still pick the RDX over the EX. In all the areas you mention (price, features, performance, style) I think the RDX is superior. And you have to remember the large segment of the population who will buy anything with a roundel over the competition, no matter how superior or value-priced it may be.

I leased an Infiniti FX35 for a yr (which I returned a couple weeks ago) and the car is very nice indeed. Not only did it look sleek on the outside, but the inside had a boat load of room and the luxuries are just all around. It's like a mini-Escalade. The FX just had the standard premium pkg and it already beat my IS's list lux items. The thing I miss most on my FX is the nice exhaust tone and esp. the backup camera! It's the best fcukin' thing ever!

And I am glad to see that you accept the fact that you contradict what you say ONLY when it comes to infiniti.

I like it

This is perfect for those who like the G35 sedan but want to be higher up
and for those who are tired of allll the RX running around

Price is sliightly more than the G sedan.
