2009 Infiniti FX35, FX50 to include Distance Control Assist
Infiniti has a knack for keeping technophiles grinning, and just as it did with the G35's in-dash entertainment system, it's bringing geeks even more automotive improvements to keep our minds off of those skyrocketing gas prices. Reportedly, both the 2009 FX35 and FX50 will be available with all-around cameras (you know, like those found on the EX35), Intelligent Cruise Control and Distance Control Assist. The automaker seems particularly proud of that last one, as it claims to be the first in the industry to offer up the tech. Put simply, DCA will assist drivers in releasing the throttle and applying the brakes as needed in stop-and-go / congested traffic, and (obviously) the system stays activated even after the brakes are tapped.

Panasonic leaks own PMA line-up including FX35 with 25-mm wide-angle lens
Next in line for their pre-PMA blowout is Panasonic. Unfortunately, no details are available at the moment as their RSS feed seems to have spilled the beans. Nevertheless we can expect new LUMIX cams from their FS-, LZ-, and superzoom TZ-series. They'll also be launching a new FX35 -- their first Lumix with a 25mm wide-angle lens. More just as soon as Panny gets its house in order.
