First Thread

Oh yeah!,

First thread and first post of the FX45 Forum. What do I win?, j/k can't wait to see this vehicle on the road. I have no plans on purchasing one. Anyone know when the set release date for this puppy is?

word has it that it is gonna be out next Jan or Feb 2003 ... possibly as a 2004 model

Do u guys know the FX45 is really a Nissan Gloria with a V8 engine???http://www.carnet.com.hk/c/car_mall/new_car/test_drv/report/nissan_gloria/tdr.htm

Correction, you're thinking of the upcoming Infiniti M45. It will use the Cedric/Gloria body and use the Q45's powerplant (as its name suggests).

The FX45 is based off the XVL chassis, which has supplied the skeleton to numerous current Nissan vehicles (G35/Skyline, 350Z/Fairlady Z, Altima, Stagea). The recent FX45 showcar photos actually represent the second iteration of the FX45 concept. The original was based off the Q45/Cima chassis, and featured a much more off-base, impractical, yet jaw-dropping crossover design of the future. I preferred this sharp and clean-cut design far more than the newer cab-rear bulldog design, but I will still welcome it nonetheless.

For more information about the conceptual mkI and mkII FX45s, see the FX45 comparo thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t40760.html).
