So my wife was complaining about the seats in her 06 CRV and the next thing I know I am sitting in an Infiniti dealership working the price on a 2011 EX35. I have to say, the garnet color and 19" Infiniti wheels look absolutely great together. In my 20+ years of driving I have never owned a Nissan product until 2006. Now its all I have!
I really think the Maxima is a great car after driving hers. Its nice and all but the Maxima is very close to the level of luxury and the price is way lower. As far as power, hers has 297 horsepower and its fast but the Maxima is very close. In addition, the amount of room in our cars is huge compared to the stretched G37 platform. The last thing I will mention is the CVT is a vastly superior transmission when it comes to a smooth delivery of power and gas mileage.

 

Congrats on the EX, I had no idea the EX had nearly 300hp or the 7speed AT, impressive, I think the 7AT is amazing, smooth as the CVT but when you step on it, it takes off.

My Father has an FX50S, quite the beast it's on my wish list for my next car

 

Oh man If Infiniti dropped the 5.6 in the G coupe I would be ALLLL OVERRR THATT!!!!! We need a Nice V8 coupe out of Japan.

 

They need to do that

 

You are absolutely right about the take off power with the 7AT. It flys off the line. I know because I was able to do a little test now that we have 1200 miles on odometer

 

Congrats on the EX35. The only issue with that vehicle is the rear seat.
