Default I'd rather drive a VW than a Nissan

And I'd rather drive an Audi than an Infinity.

Just because a car is RWD doesn't mean it isn't nose-heavy. I'm sure the Infinity drives and handles quite well, for a Nissan.

Default I'd take a Maxima over a Passat any day.

But I'd probably pick a Jetta over a Sentra :-)

Default I haven't driven it.

But calling it a Nissan is somewhat silly.

It's as silly as the guy who said that an SC430 was a rebadged convertible Solara.

And the 0 to 60 performance of the M35X is on par with the A6 4.2

Default I'm suprised to how "heavy" the Infinity is.

It is 4,004 lbs for the M35x!

Default Still outperforms the A6 3.2 though

0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds is only 0.1 slower than the 4.2

Default M35 0 to 60 = 6.5 according to AutoWeek

M45 0 to 60 = 6.0. Same source.

Default And autos.com has the M35 at 6.0, m35x at 6.1

<ul><li><a href="http://www.autos.com/autos/rankings_reviews?cat=luxury_cars&amp;segment=mid-luxury_cars&amp;rank=acceleration&amp;year=2006">m 45 is probably 5.7 not 4.7</a></li></ul>
