I have a lot of friends over at the FX forums... and there are some 45's that are quite fast and a couple TT35's that are even faster (no turbos for the 45s 
)

One of the best designs for an SUV ever made...

BTW, Do you guys think the FX will have some nice deals? I'm really eying this new FX hard. Been reading every article about it.
I'm also guessing that price is a typo upfront just from basing it on the current FX, I do remember reading motor trend article a while ago price the AWD at 42k, so I'm guessing it makes sense for the RWD to 39k.
How much would a fully loaded RWD 35 be? Probably 48-49k out the door?

I would think so... when you say "loaded"... that's a lot of tech stuff packed... maybe even a little more...

Millionaire Edition Announced for Europe...
From Autoblog: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/02/i...clusively-for/
Um...not really a fan of the name.
Kudos to Infiniti. With seemingly every special edition model being blinged-up and chrome frosted inside and out, you'd figure something called the Millionaire Edition would be the most ostentatious thing on four wheels. But Nissan's luxury division has taken an entirely more understated approach with the 2010 Infiniti FX Millionaire Edition.
Instead of chrome or gold plating, the FX Millionaire gets dark graphite trim on the exterior, including the grille, air dam, 21-inch wheels and roof rails – as well as the window surrounds, from the look of it – complementing the Obsidian Black or White Moonlight paint schemes. Inside, it's all Alcantara micro-suede with brown stitching offset by carbon fiber, plus all the advanced features from the catalog, including sat-nav, Infiniti's excellent Around View Monitor system and Bose audio.
The package is available on either the FX37 or FX50, but only in Europe, with no more than 100 examples to be built. Equipped with the 390-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8, the FX50 Millionaire Edition sells in the price-inflated UK market for a princely €95,450 – about $144k in 'merican greenbacks, or more than twice the base price for us non-millionaires. On second thought, maybe we'll save those kudos for another time. The FX Millionaire Edition is being unveiled next week, appropriately enough, at Amsterdam's Millionaire Fair.

I think Infiniti got a hold of the Acura stupid Kool-Aid.
"We are going tier-one with the Millionaire edition....Everyone is going to love paying 144k for a car that is really worth less than half that price."
