By the way, when my pops traded her V70R in for her current car, he only got $18k for it, so the resale value seriously sucks.
Audi only brought something like 275 maual B7 S4 wagons, so the resale is actually really good in the second hand market.

And the B7 has the 40/60 AWD configuration, unlike the Volvo.

I don't have a Cayenne to trade, but I do have a WRX. That has a turbo. I can do that trade.

Even though I said I was not too fond of the styling, I picked up an Infiniti FX45. I parked it next to several other SUVs on the lot and the shape was less mini-van-ish. After I drove it, I was convinced. Flat cornering with a supple suspension and surprising power. My drive into work today was so much more relaxed. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

^I've heard a lot of good things about those cars, but have yet to be convinced. I'll have to drive one of the V8 models.

Congrats on the FX.

The NAV drives my boss crazy. Did they finally change it so you can enter destination while the car is in motion? Is there a hack for it?

unless infiniti updated the nav within the last year you still cant enter one while in motion unless its saved in your address book. i know they recently offered a software update though so maybe that changed it..

and assuming the fx has the same nav system as the g37, there is a bypass to allow you to use it even while driving
