Also, I think it's only a matter of time until Nissan drops the VQ into the X. It doesn't make any sense to keep on selling the VG3.3 when 95% of all their other products, including Infinity, use the VQ engine at some state of tune. The VQ is more powerful and efficient at the same time. I think its a no brainer for Nissan. Maybe for 2004 or 5.
I agree.. That is the one major complaint that I have about my X. Power.. From a standing start it accelerates quite nicely, but at other times, like when I'm accelerating to make a lane change or merging on to the Freeways, I wish that she had more power. I can see it coming already,, "Get the S/C" That's the point. I don't want an S/C.
I've already got a turbocharged car that requires premium gasoline and just recently got rid of another turbo'd car.. Filling up one with premium every week gets expensive. Two is unbelievable. I like the fact that I can run cheap ole 87 in my X and she won't complain.
Like Zspeed7 said.. The 3.5 in an X just seems like a no-brainer.
Just my $0.02343653 on the matter.
