    I still have my FX50S that I purchased brand new in 2010. The car has almost every feature that my wife’s 2019 Lexus LX 570 has....radar cruise control, 360 degree overhead view camera, heated and cooled seats etc. I have always been a car guy, my other car is a 2009 Carrera S, and the FX with nearly 400 horse power is still a blast to drive. The first, and only mod I did was have the resonator removed. This mod opened up the exhaust for that proper V8 sound that I love...I’m a 72 year old boomer!

    I currently own 2016 QX70 3.7. I love the car and truly see the FX/QX70 as the original sport cross over. The only other car that I'd consider contending for this crown is the 4.4i/4.6is/4.8is E53 X5 Sport. I owned a 2006 4.4i X5 Sport back from 2010-2015. in 1999-2002 the v8 E53 Sport was really the only nimble performance SUV available on the market. However the E53 was a tad larger I think and felt less coup-like. I purchased my QX70 because it feels just like how the E53 felt with added sleek styling and refinement.

      It is possible that they are the same since the 3.5 and 3.7 V6 are very similar. But they could have a different bolt pattern so no way to know for sure without trying to install one first. If you price out a new one for the 3.5 and 3.7 and they have the same part number for the drive shaft than they are the same. You should be able to find the parts numbers and diagrams for both online with a little hunting around on google or eBay.

      Its possible, but we have seen dozens of the newer FX/QX70 and not peeling dashboard. I have a 2013 FX37 with 80k miles and no issues on the dash at all. It was very common on the first generation. We are in a mild climate, so its possible is hotter climates the next generation FX/QX70 could still have issues with the dash peeling, but I have not seen one example myself and have been at INFINITI retailers for about 20 years, so I have seen a lot of these vehicels over the years.

    The only cons your forgot to mention about the fx35 03-08 is the galley gasket failure

    This car was so iconic back in the days. Way ahead of Lexus and Acura at that time. I can’t believe they replaced it with that trash @$$ qx55🤮

      Me too, and I am really upset with INFINITI for doing so. I will NEVER PURCHASE another INFINITI.

    The updated style just has a goofy front,, the og fx was perfectly aggressive and business-like..

    They're still good looking and more reliable than all the other slope back ugly looking SUV'S that the other luxury brands now offer

    How quick you forgot that BMW started the performance SUV genre.

    QX55 turned our to be another extremely disappointing model for us Inifiniti fans :( what made FX35/37/50/QX70 so special was that amazing reliable, powerful, fun, tested and trusted, bulletproof 3.5/3.7V6 and AT transmission. How a weak and boring turbo4 peered up with notoriously unreliable and boring CVT is even remotely considered a replacement is mind blowing! not to mention discontinuation of Q60(WHY?!?!) and going all electric?! they should have fired the CEO and all the execs for ruining Infiniti brand! nobody in this sector is interested in EVs, the power grid is not ready , they are boring yet super expensive. I wish we had a true G37 and Q60 successors that had even more horsepower and technologies than M340i, S5 or TLX TypeS. Inifniti was all of that: reliable, powerful, gorgeous and very high tech. we have lost all of it :(

      Sometimes ppl do not know when to stop meddling with a good thing. That is what happen to INFINITI, with the FX series. Now they are screwed. I am happy though, THEY are a bunch of crooks, wanting over 3500 USA to change a diff bushing. I went thru Z1 Motor, and got it replace for less than 400, with labor.
