It is kind of a apples and oranges match-up but consider the pros and cons...
FX45 Pros -
AWD
good ground clearance.
great 'athletic' looks.
more passanger room than a 9^5 Aero wagon.
Infiniti name and quality.
315 HP V8 vs. 250 HP turbo I4 in the 9^5 Aero wagon.
FX45 Cons -
sunroof is a option, but not standard (also cuts into passanger headroom).
cargo area is 27.4 cu ft (vs. 37 cu. ft. for 9^5 Aero wagon).
600 lb more curb weight than a 9^5 Aero wagon.
Fuel economy is 15 city/19 highway vs 21 city/30 highway for 9^5 Aero wagon.
I like the more HP (more is always better, right?) and a bit more passanger room, but don't like the weight and cargo room penalties.
A difficult choice. Hopefully Saab gives us something closer to the 'cross-over' segment soon.
