Too much options!

My uncle just bought an Infiniti FX35 fully-loaded for just $42000, it has everything on it, like tire pressure monitor, rear-camera, DVD Navigation, Entertament system, keyless Go, Intelligent cruise control, heat seats....etc.. compare to mine which is $15000 less. Don't get me wrong here, I love my car but it would be nice to have all of these options on the $60000 car. I don't even have heated seat on mine either. What's a cheap Bastar!
He made me feel bad of all his cool options that I don't have on my car.

I agree with mco. I test drove the Q45 and for <$60K it had all the options mentioned, but also included voice control of the Navigation, rear reclining seats, and a V8 with a few more horses than an E500. But the drive is completely different, the Q45 felt like I was driving a Buick, while the E500 was the best drive (with the exception of BMW 5-Series) that I had driven.

i woudnt get mad, i agree with the others, i would laugh actually, because all infiniti does id copy MB, just like all the other jap cars. i see some of them around here, and im like wtf is that. also, you have a e500 right? if so, you would burn him, you could of told him to get a Q45, which has 38 more HP, and i believe wheighs less than a e500, and your car would burn him sooooooo bad....thats when you tell him bout german engineering;p those cars are and they should be because they are to ugly for the road
