I'm surprised you found an FX35 for $18k. Everything around Charlotte is an '05 and nothing is less than $23k.

My vote would be for the FX35. I've been considering the same!

The FX35 didn't ride as well but the interior was of course nicer. the handling had a more sporting feel to it. That last reason alone makes it my 1st choice. The Chevy is however a very nice, very quick truck that I could be happy owning as well.
Exactly right... I like the Infinity build and service departments but when it came down to the practical choice I would go with the Chevy.

Yeah that's tough and the 2006 FX is definitely a heck of a lot more expensive than the 2005, lol.

I looked at the SS a few months ago when they were dealing them out in my area. My concern was the need for only synthetic oil changes as well as some other minor (but could be major later) problems. I went thru all the message boards and just would not pull the trigger after reading so many posts with opposite feelings.

FX on the other hand will probably be the wifes next car when her current lease is up this year. Time will tell.

I'd take the FX. It looks like a cheetah!

I wish my girlfriend got an 06 over an 05. The center console display on the 06 is color regardless if you have Navi unlike the 05.
