INFINITI FX 35

INFINITI FX 35

The Infiniti FX35 first rolled into showrooms in model year 2009. The bold sheet metal that made this crossover such a standout in its first generation carries over into the current era, with a couple of tweaks: Infiniti FX35 nose has been lengthened, its grille has been restyled and prominent new fender vents add a touch of class or kitsch, depending on who you ask.

BMW M3 2011 

The highest praise fo BMW M3 I can give a sports car is to say it performs well both on a track and while driving slowly around town. Why? Because anybody can make a no-compromises car that's fast on the track but beats you to death on the streets. Likewise, anybody can make a comfy boulevard cruiser that wallows around the track. What's tricky is hitting that balance.
One of the few truly awesome cars I've driven, the BMW M3 nails both the sport and the comfort ends of the spectrum. You can tell the BMW M3 if you want it to be sedate or scary-fast — and it listens.
Driving Impressions
Joe Wiesenfelder tested a 2010 BMW M3 with a manual transmission, and you can read his impressions here. My 2011 test car came with BMW M3double-clutch transmission, and I have to say that even though I generally prefer manuals, I'd probably take this transmission if I were buying an M3..
