Now I'm almost ashamed to own it, because of its environmental impact..LOL..)

That Infiniti is nice...My husband will kill you guys for steering me in the opposite direction he was hoping I'd steer....(Less expensive Nissan. LOL)

Not sure I like the satellite/gps (?) antannae thing right up front like that..its on the rear on the Murano I think?

That is a picture of the first generation FX. The current 2nd generation also has that antenna in the back. The FX35 isn't that much more than a Murano, really, but what it gives you is a totally different type of crossover that emphasizes more on sport...much more like your Z.

Ohhh..Good to know. I may swing by the dealership and take a look at it. I really love the sportiness of my Z...and now despise the sluggishness of the H2.. (Its like 0-60 in 5 seconds and 0-60 in 5 minutes, with my cars. LOL)

So many decisions..I appreciate all this feedback guys!

P.S. LOOVE the color of your 40th anniversary edition, DJpathfinder!

Thanks! I just took some pics of my new Z, so I'll post them up some time soon.

I love my FX and would highly recommend it to anyone. Back in Dec 2004 when we were looking to buy a new vehicle, we were expecting our first child, so a sports car was out of the question. The FX was the closest thing I could get that fulfilled that desire...Not the most spacious SUV by any means, but sportiness was important for me in addition to the ability to put a baby seat in the back. That held me over till now...I've always been a big fan of the Z car. Just picked mine up 10 days ago (walked in at the right time on a 40th anniversary edition that wasn't spoken for), and I'm glad I did even though it's still a highly illogical purchase. Oh well, you only live once.

It's highly illogical that I should have a Z myself, considering I have 3 children. LOL. But if he can have a race van and race trailer and 400 dirtbikes..................... hehe. (I used that as leverage.)

P.S. I have a friend who lives in Edmonton, Canada..I need to double check, but I think that is where she lives! I go up to Harrison Hot Springs, over in BC every year with some girlfriends!

Uh-oh...I get a feeling this conversation is going to go like this:
"so you're from Edmonton. Do you know a (insert name here)?"

Just kidding!

Well, good luck on your decision and purchase. The Murano IS a good vehicle.

nah..I just looked. She lives in Bentley, Alberta? So not in Edmonton, not sure why I thought Edmonton. Interestingly, she won the lottery back in 1999 there or something...lol!

I realized I hijacked my own thread. hehe.

I swapped my 2006 H2 for a 2010 Pathfinder in January and love it. I bought the H2 right before the bottom fell out of the HUMMER market and I loved the truck, but I did not appreciate being cut off in traffic and flipped off for owning it. People would put door dings in it without any regard no matter how far out I parked it. Mine got a solid 11.4 MPG city/highway/towing/up hill/ down hill, just didn't matter.

The Pathfinder is great and I got it for like $26k, so that was less than half what the H2 cost. You may want to give them a look. We enjoy the Pathfinder so much and the buying experience that we bought the 370Z two months later and traded our 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe. It helped Nissan's cause that the Infiniti dealership here is apparently doing so much business that they did not need us anymore. We had only bought 2 G35 coupes from them.

Plus the V6 Pathfinder tows more than the H2, believe it or not.

Well..I went to the website and by the time I configure one similar to the Murano with the Nav..its over $50k

The Sticker price on the Murano is $39K. I already know what my husband will say. hehe...

But I may still go look....
