When the new second-generation Infiniti FX goes on sale on June 24, it'll start at a price tag of $40,950. That's for a base, rear-drive FX35. All-wheel drive models will start at $42,350, while upgrading from there to the scary-fast 390-hp V-8-equipped will cost a less manageable $56,700. Still, that means that the buy-in for the sleek FX will be almost $12,00 lower than the new BMW X6 with which it most closely competes, while the V-8 costs just $4000 more than the cheapest X6. For further comparison, a Porsche Cayenne S starts at $57,900. The FX is priced to fight the best, but Infiniti's got too hope record gas prices won't deter its wealthy consumer base.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?
That's a hefty price-difference disparity between the FX35 and FX50. However, the FX50 also comes standard with considerably more equipment and a seriously ballsy engine. It easily outperforms its competition for the price and the FX35 is more than fast enough for most (as fast as the old FX45).

Not bad, the only option on the FX50 that I would get is the Sport package.
So all said and done it should be under $60k before tax. Given Infiniti's volume based mindset, git it a little while and you'll be able to get thousands off of MSRP.
