EX35: This all-new five-seater toes the line between tall wagon and crossover SUV. Riding the same FM platform as the G35 sedan, it features a 3.5 liter V6 engine, rear- or all-wheel-drive, and a host of luxury amenities. Options include the new Around View Monitor, which uses cameras mounted on the front, rear and sides of the vehicles to provide a "top-down" view, aiding parking.

FX35/FX45: XM satellite radio is now standard.

G35 SEDAN: The G35 was completely redesigned last year. For 2008, the Sport package is now available on the all-wheel-drive G35x. XM satellite radio is now standard, an iPod adapter is optional, and the Technology and Navigation option packages have been revised.

G37 COUPE: An all-new replacement for the G35 Coupe, the G37 now features a larger engine than the sedan, a 3.7 liter 330 hp V6, along with new styling and a much-improved interior.

M35/M45: Two years after its introduction, the M receives a fairly thorough going-over. Interior and exterior styling has been tweaked; the all-wheel-drive system, previously available only on the V6-powered M35, is now available on the V8 M45; a lane departure warning system is now optional; and the Sport model has been replaced by a Sport option package, which includes active rear steering, 19" wheels, and unique styling cues. But wait, there's more: The navigation system is now hard drive based and includes 9.3 GB of space for music files.

QX56: Infiniti's king-size SUV gets revised front and rear styling, a new one-piece roof rack, standard chrome wheels, a power-folding third-row seat, a revised dashboard, and new optional Burr-Brown stereo with a hard-drive-based music server.

BEYOND 2008: A new version of the FX is expected for 2009.
