Murano SL with Touring and DVD NAV system

Appearance : Looks funky and flashy, nice not too big. compared to the FX35 this is smaller but still good looking.

Engine : same 3.5 V6 (altho a bit detuned) but diff transmission (CVT), engine is strong and powerful (not as responsive as the FX), CVT transmission takes away excitement from driving compared to conventional auto trans. Altho 1 good thing is that it functions like 1 LONG gear. exhaust note not as macho as the FX's

Ride : Solid suspension, combined with 18 inchers.

Techie stuff : DVD NAV w/ rear back up cam almost the same as the FX's

Amenities: Leather seating with rear aircon ducts, dual zone climate control power seats altho manual tilt steering NO telescoping.

for 7 grand less than the Infiniti hmmmm a good alternative, but if you prefer luxury FX 35 is the way to go.
