    Traded in Dale's '07 G35 (named Ruby) for a new Infiniti QX60. My son in law has been with Nissan / Infiniti for 12 years up in NJ, and got us the Family Plan deal.

    Went with AWD, and got the Nav, Premium Packages and Driver Assistance Package.
    Hopefully the assistance to not back over things, or ding the corners will keep her from dinging this one up.

    Really like the bird's eye view on the Backup Camera. You can also toggle between all the corner cameras.

    The continuous variable tranny acts like a shifting car, and in sport mode has enough power to get on the highway. Having a little less power will be a good thing for my leadfoot wife.

    Another cool feature is when you have a low tire, as you fill it up the hazard flash as you get close to the pressure, and honks when you get there.

    Didn't especially want the DVD but Grandson #1 liked watching Mater on it yesterday.

    I have a 2010 G37S 20th Anniversary Edition and have put 72,000 miles on it in a little over 3 years. I've loved every minute of it. The boys at JoTech have "breathed" on it a little and it is a screamer. However I've never driven it faster than it will go!

    We have a name !

    White Lightning.

    It's very important to Dale to have names for her vehicles. Bike is named Penny.


    After 10 days of 4 adults and 3 toddlers staying with us, a quiet has descended over the house. As much as we love them, it's good to be empty nesting again.

    White lightning looks awesome :) Great ride. The car has really got nice features. I particularly liked the bird's eye i.e. the backup camera. Moreover it has a good feature of toggling between cameras, this is nice.

    Our G35 had 200K miles on it when we sold it to the sister-in-law.
    Fully expect another 100K on it.
    Great great vehicles.

    Looks sweet.

    My wife has a QX56. Two days ago we had the 30k service performed. $1400+ for tires, and another $1500+ for the service! It makes servicing my Mondial seem cheap by comparison.

    But the view over the curvy hood is pretty nice as you float down the road!

    Congrats!

    Having owned a Q56 and now an Armada Platinum I can say the vehicles' specs are so close that I decided to save $15k and go with the Armada 4x4. only issues so far was a faulty gas sender unit (covered under warranty), and other small stuff. the Nissan 4x4 gear has been flawless on fluffy, deep, hard or muddy snow. just keep those wheel arches mud free. cheers.
