Another great review! My thoughts: after coming off an FX35 rental, I had the XC60 and thought it was poor compared to the Infiniti:
-Lack of touch-screen display was shocking
-Seats were horrible (firm, seemed bench-like, and I slid all over the leather)
-No XM (car was under 200 mi when I got it)
-Pickup was poor
-Silly flashers button on the dash was very annoying at night
-Cup holders are directly behind the gear shifter making it hard to shift when you have a 20 oz bottle or large drive-through cup in there
-A stripped rental version is obvious to everyone since all of the non-functional buttons on the radio are still there
-There aren't seek buttons on the radio!
-The buttons on the front interior lights are far away from the lights, making it hard to find it at night. This isn't an issue if this is your everyday driver and you know where everything is without looking.

Yours seemed much more upscale than mine (no blind spot indicators, I forget but if mine had the moon roof, it didn't open, etc)
