Yeah, it's too small in general to be a useful crossover / utility vehicle / whatever. And if that's
the case, you might as well get a G37x sedan, which has better performance and handling.

Its 1970 again
-- I love that Infiniti hascreated a new genre by designing this new vehicle that we call... a s t a t i o n w a g o n..... wow what a concept. Its neat cause its not up high and doesnt drive all tippy and stuff see cause its not trucky, plus its neat looking and has some room behind the back seats for your stuff and has the engine from the sedan version of the vehicle so it moves, ya know? Its got a cool rack on the roof for more hauling and its minty fresh and wont cause tooth decay...
jeez its a small station wagon. Now I happen to not like it because its just too small and looks awkward from any angloe othe than the front. But it is a station wagon (not unlike that thar fancy Avant you have) and I like those. Now just get some vinyl fake wood contact paper for the side and you can call it an EX-Woody -- or not -- vw makes a nice passat wagon which you could consider for a nice threesome...

Re: I don't know about the quality of the interior, but the interior is just plain ugly.
i was looking at a rogue, basically the same thing. its the same size, quality and better utility of a tiguan. they dont make awd, small station wagons so small cuvs are the choice.

I had a Rogue as a rental in SLC last fall and I was *meh*
The car had 12 miles on it when I took it out of the airport. The interior was chintzy, the CVT SUCKS, and the ride was very bounding over most surfaces. I put 500 miles on it, mixed between freeway, byway, surface roads, and dirt in 20hrs. Oh ya, only got about 22mpg too...

Well, it's not exactly an ordinary station wagon. It's a tall wagon with a fixed suspension, not
unlike the Volvo Cross Country or the original Subaru Forester before they tried to market it as a CUV.

No way in hell that there are any similarity between the Rogue Interior and the Ex35 interior
Just go and look at www.nissanusa.com and compare the pics on www.infinitiusa.com.
It has the best quality interior in premium entry class. Just look at the JD Powers award. The new A4 or A4 Avant does not even make the grade among consumers.
For the mid-size cars, the Audi A6 makes it side by side the Benz and Lexus.

biggest drawback to any nissan product is the cvt. its terrible. whenever you go to accelerate, it jumps to 3500 rpm and holds there until you are done. so f'in annoying.

Infiniti's ex35 trunk space BEATS the X3 trunk (see Video)
The X3 can only hold 2 golf bags. Infiniti's EX35 can hold 3 golf bags. Now here's the proof (see video link). It's a bigger trunk and much faster clocking 5.5 sec 0 - 62.5 mph.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS4ncLXIRpo&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS4ncLXIRpo&feature=related</a</li></ul>
