Well took delivery over the weekend. Here she is. So far I am loving the navigation and rear back up camera. Ride is very plush and the thundercloud elements just make the car.

Here is my future wife (3 days and counting) saying goodbye to the civic and hello to thundercloud.

Also had to put a few pics of our new car line up in.

 

Where do you get the rear back up camera? I'd love more rear visibility.

 

It's a factory option/package...same as the cornering lights.

 

Must be a new option then as it hasn't been in the past.

 

i think he is talking about his lex newbie's.

 

the rx300 did not have the backup camera and i believe it has always been available on an rx330.

put the rx in the garage and brought out the xfire today. still loving the upsolute chip BTW.

 

looks better than the regular rx, just out of curiosity, did you guys check out the infiniti fx at all? and if so how does the rx compare in your opinion?

 

i wish. i was pushing so hard for the fx, but she hated the looks. so i had nothing.

 

we chose the rx over the fx. the fx looks like a beetle with a plugged tail pipe.

 

i just read her this post and her response is "it looks like a shoe"

though i disagree, it is her car.

 

best part is, they probably run the same times.

 

LOL, was not expecting that.

The FX45 is one heck of a nice ride, definitely would be on my top choice. Though I have a soft spot for BMW so it would make lean towards the X5, be a hard decision. I think they both look great.

I never have driven the new 330 version, but did have a chance to drive the rx300 and thought it was pretty luxurious. Definitely more woman oriented.

 

hardly...

FX45:
0-60- 6.3
1320- 15.0@93

FX35:
0-60- 7.1
1320- 15.5@91

RX330:
0-60- 7.8
1320- 16.2@86

 

The FX45 can do better, I heard of them doing mid 14's stock. Also motortrend has gotten one down to a 14.6 can't remember trap speed.

 

the rx330 is very luxurious, night and day almost from the 300. i have not driven the fx, but of course that was my number one choice, see stats above for reasoning!
