When we last looked at Infiniti's FX crossover, it was powered by a brutish 5.0-liter V-8. In FX35 trim with a more docile V-6 under its hood, the FX may not be as much of a bulbous brute, but it's still a technological tour de force.

  The iPad as a car entertainment system is a great idea and those who talk trash wish they were cool enough to have one.
