If you’re looking for a crossover SUV that performs more like a sports sedan than an SUV, look no further. The Infiniti FX35 and FX45 models for the 2008 year significantly stand out via athletic handling and distinctive styles. Offering all-wheel-drive on both models, this near-sports-car SUV encompasses major changes both inside and out. The FX35’s 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 275 horsepower, while the FX45 has 4.5 V8 produces 320 horsepower.

Suggesting the shape of a sports car, the bold style of Infiniti’s FX models has a wide stance, short wheelbase and short hood. XM Satellite Radio comes standard with both models and new interior and exterior color combinations are available.

Cargo space behind second row passengers is minimal, but allows for plenty of legroom, with limited headroom. Included in Infiniti FX35 models are five-speed automatic transmission, heated power mirrors, keyless entry, and six-disk MP3 compatible CD changer and 18-inch wheels. For the Infiniti FX45, 20 –inch wheels are standard, as well as a power sunroof, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, aluminum roof rails and a Sport suspension.

Prices starting at $39,000 and $51,000, these Infiniti FX models create a nearly perfect platform that executes fully independent suspension. Just as its radiant style suggests, the 2008 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 perform boldly.
