Yeah, we are likely staying with Audi for awhile. The wife really likes both the Q3 and Q5...so, we'll likely trade the FX for one of those when we've had enough with the Infiniti.

Well, the Nissan 370Z is technically better than an Optima.

So, in other words, the FX is technically a Z which technically makes it better than your Optima?

Duh. Yes.

The Hyundai Optima I am driving is a Korean non-luxury market segment car.

Luckily, you won't be mistaken for a K5 (Blazer or rebadged Optima)

Elantra > Optima, not a chance.
Elantra > MM's Optima, maybe.

2.4 Optima was a dog compared to the 2.0 Elantra past 4k rpm.

Elantra handled way better too.

Optima is for drug dealers.

And drive around with it?

If it were an AZ meet locally and like you slackers were there, I'd probably for sure roll up in the S5 with a Hyundai badge.
