In fact, does one Infiniti exsists that handles better or has better suspension or overall has better chassis than BMW? I don't think so, prove me wrong please...
Please, do not try to say anything about ext and int styling 'cause that has nothing to do with REAL qualities of the car, it's subjective and in fact, what you've said so far, screams only your aversion towards certain BMW cars and obsession that whatever MB makes is best or at least, "better than BMW in any case". I understand you like MB more, but i won't be quiet while you're having your "period". 
PS: I won't have a chance to drive Infiniti soon, but i will try new X6 35d very soon and i'll be glad to tell you if these guys from Top Gear and many other respectable 'zines are just talking crap or that X6 really handles almost like (benchmark) 3 series...or my car...5 series.  |
You get wraped up in your feelings way too much as a BMW fan. No where did I ever say the Infiniti was a superior car. It just happens to be the best value as an all around package. Not just driving dynamics as you pointed out here.
Read the article then make your judgements. A good judge looks at both sides
of talents and what the entire package offers as a whole. Not just one talant and calling that talent a victory.
Heres a small portion of the article MT points out about the FX vs the X6. I suggest you read the whole article though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function apparently doesn't follow the X6's sexy form. Though it runs two-tenths quicker to 60 mph and nearly a second faster around our figure eight, Reynolds was ultimately displeased by this driving machine: "The X6 wobbles, shudders, plows at the limit-and does so much damage to BMW's reputation for building fine driving automobiles, it's almost obscene.
"They've missed the target with the X6," he continues. "It's ungainly and awkward to drive." Despite being a whopping 694-pounds heavier, the X6 is dynamically superior to the Infiniti by significant margins, a disparity due in no small part to the tires. Our X6 came equipped with optional 20-inch, super-wide summer tires, while the FX showed up with stock 18-inch 265 all-seasons.
The FX35 has many of the X6's strengths, none of its weaknesses, and a few great advantages of its own-for a lot less money."

2009 BMW X6 xDrive35i vs. 2009 Infiniti FX35 AWD - Results - Comparison - Motor Trend
The Infiniti is the best balanced
entire package, as a whole according the journalists at Motor Trend and is the reason why it got first place.
The ML500 is also the most balanced package here
as a whole and is the reason it got first place according to Auto Zeitung magazine.
Give credit where credit is due.... The ML500 was honored and got the victory.
(OT::Oh btw, don`t think I hate all BMWs as JM pointed out. while I don`t like the X6 as he also does`t like the CLS I don`t accuse him of hating all MBs.)
I absolutly love the design work of the new 7er so far..)
