A brand new FX35 parked across the street.....looks weird like a scrunched up FX45.

hmmm:thinking:

 

Pee on it... mark it as your property even though its not.

Yeah the FX35s look wierd... almost like they build one out of spare parts from a FX45.

 

It is a strange-looking thing, but at least it can get out of the way fairly quickly. And it's not too huge. :dunno:

All that interests me [about the FX45] is that lovely V8....having heard enough of them around town..Might make a neat powerplant for a Jag conversion...:thinking:

Hello, Jaguar XJ6... Meet my new friend from Japan...h:

 

No its the FX35 which is the V6 model of the FX45.

 

h: I know.. my mind was wandering toward it's big brother. At any rate, the chassis is the same, right? IIRC, in addition to the VQ35DE V6 being substituted for the larger V8, doesn't the FX35 come with smaller wheels and other downgrades in trim and such..? :dunno:

I've seen one FX35 for every dozen FX45 out here, so I'm a little fuzzy on the trim levels and such..h:

BTW, I'm sorry for the earlier thrend derailment.

 

No prob I like its big brother a lot better too.

It looks like (but I am not sure) that it is actually shortened up a little bit (aside from the front end) and definitley smaller wheels butit looks like it comes with a slight downgrade in trim packages but not by too much overall.

 

Hmm... I'm curious now. I'm gonna check it out.

EDIT: According to Infiniti, the wheelbase is identical, but wheel size drops from 20" on the FX45 to 18" on the FX35. Here's a snippet from the Spec page...with teh link below..
