FX35 or RX350?

Not many people realize that many Canadian plants have been winning awards for years, especially oshawa plants.

They usually just lump all domestics under the crappy quality title, compared to Japanese cars, when in actuality, the Canadian built are just as good in initial quality as the Japanese.

Agreed. Personally I'd rather have the vehicle built in Canada than Japan. However in this case I'd probably choose the FX35 over the RX350 but having nothing to do with the FX being made in Japan

are you out of your mind? of course they are not.......initial quality maybe, but how about 3-5 yrs down the road?

Uh maybe you should ask yourself that question (are you out of your mind???). Because what you're saying makes absolutely no sense. If something is built better to begin with, how does it end up being worse afterwards? If something is built worse than something else to begin with how does it get better over time? Think about it.

do you have personal experience with both cars? of just seen few too many pics? i have personal experience with both cars, and fx interior is by far more refined and nicer.....oh and btw fx 35 has rear backup camera standart, and adjustable hid's(meaning you can aim them up or down) great when you are driving out of the city, much better projection.

yes i have, and the FX interior is typical infiniti, underwhelming compared to lexus or even acura with questinble materials and ergonomics. all the car mags ooh and ahh over the RX's interior and quality as is typical of lexus as well.... and adjustable HID's make no sense unless your purpose is to blind ppl and the RX's HID's are adaptive, which acutally makes them useful to seeing the road rather than blinding people.

The FX is a decent enough SUV/wagon, but if you want to talk refinement and quality, it is a few grades below the RX, just like all their other offerings with regard to quality and refinement and design.

there is a reason why the RX is best selling luxury SUV and sales soaring while infiniti is falling

FX35 is also made in JAPAN, has 280hp 270tq.......nicer interior(personal opinion), bigger wheels(18' 265 wide) so nicer handling.......no-brainer for me, but it's up to you.

Don't forget small cargo space and a harsher ride. I found the interior to be nothing special and somewhat cheap.

What about 3-5 yrs down the road?
