Found one that wasn’t on the back of a flatbed huh? Congrats, you caught it early.

Looking forward to the new Cadillac XTS. That should be a hot car. Cadillac quality, dependibility and reliabilty all rolled up in a gorgeous, well built package that will sell to hundreds of thousands of waiting buyers.

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM

The new Buick Lacrosse is the standard of luxury. It is the hottest luxury car ever built. GM truely is the standard of the world.

An American Revolution

No. 1
I see 370z ’s wheels, Maxima’s hip and front fascia and G37’s hood.

This is hot!! I want one in dark grey! The new M looks like it will be the best in its class and has the power to back it up. Awesome job Nissan/Infiniti!

DIdn’t they talk about bringing back the Q45 to rival 7 Series and LS alike???

@NMOFGM: In addition to not thinking before you speak, you also do not know anything beyond GM, for if you did, your comment would have been more relevant if you had mentioned the CTS-V in regards to this car. The M does not compete with the upcoming XTS. The XTS is meant to go after the 7, S, A8, and XJ. Get your facts straight and then you can speak. Anyhow this car is stunning and a prefect redesign for an already stunning car. A force to be reckon with. Can’t wait to see it in person.

@NMOFGM: Oh, the XTS will also have to be better than the LS.

I see a lot of maxima in this which is a good thing, waiting for that new QX to come out and the lineup is complete

Ugly

I see alot of typical, generic, asian design.
Oh how I miss you so, first generation M45.

Why did the driver leave his door open?

From what I can see, the interior looks good. I’m not too fond of the weird snout, though.

I agree with ‘PerformanceGuy’, this is one sexy 4-door sedan. I see a winner on Infiniti’s hands…

No Infiniti, including the M is the same level as a CTS-V jacka$$. This lame POS competes with the Buick Lacrosse (and loses) like I said.

Just pointing out that the slueths at LLN might obtain some pics of a real car like the XTS soon. That’s something worth looking forward to rather than wasting bandwidth on a POS sushimobile.

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM

front end looks awkward

@NMOFGM, are you that a-hole in Michigan got arrested for keying all the imports and left behind notes on the windshields that said “Buy American, Buy GM”?

This Gm guy is pretty amazing.

This thread is funny.

@NMOFGM: It is confirmed. You are crazy. To compare the M to the Lacrosse is insane. The M or any other Infiniti is far more luxurious than a Buick can ever be. Hell with your thinking, GM should just sell ONLY Buicks. You obviously think that Buicks are more of a luxury car than a Cadillac and a better value than a Chevy. You probably think that Buicks are more professional grade than GMC. Just face it, Buick is a third-rate near luxury brand and will forever remain that way.

385 – 400 horsepower is becoming a standard in luxury cars now. Car looks good.

NMOFGM:

This is RWD, which none of the current Buicks are(Except in China)
The XTS is rumoured to be FWD, not based on the RWD Statesman(like it should be anyway)
This Infiniti is much better looking and way more luxurious than any Buick.

Anyone who thinks that Buick competes with Infiniti, needs to stick to Buicks, because Infiniti is built for performance driving, and Buick is not, end of story!! This new M looks like it will be BMW & MB worse nightmare!! Infiniti did an amazing job evolving this car!!

I don’t like it. I’m just not a big fan of the bar of soap design school which seems to be Japan’s answer to what luxury should look like. And if everything else on the car is a curve then how come the sides of the grill are straight?

This is comical.

NMOFGM: Infiniti puts more design into one WHEEL than Buick puts into the whole car!

I don’t even need to say more.

A4 the first gen M45 was smooth. U knew u were somebody when u drove one of those

I think this car looks like it was peice-mealed together. Taking design cues from several other Nissan/Infiniti products. I have always liked / respected the Infinitis and like them better than Acura as of late but i will stick to my German friends.

Also, NMOFGM – A Nissan Maxima is nicer and faster and better looking than a LaCrosse. Fcuk Buick unless you are over 50 or play on the tour and are given them for free (T-Woods).

It’s official, you have to be a complete idiot, like NMOFGM, to think a buick is better than infiniti, or the lacrosse over the M…that’s just hysterically hilarious! I can’t wait till this comes out for us to test drive!

The first M was a very sexy car i can say! Don’t see to many around though….

Looks too much like a Maxima that was left out in the hot sun too long. Too many awkward curves. Infiniti is prone to overstyling everything now. Flash before function

LOVE this car. It obviously has some resemblance to other Nissan products, i think that would be a given so I still dont know why everyone is whining saying it looks like this, looks like that..every BMW class has resemblance, that’s kind of the point car companies have when they have design themes, duh. So basically what I’m saying is they nailed the styling in my opinion.

I have heard a couple different things concerning the engine so I agree with others saying I bet thing will have the FX50’s engine and not the QX56’s. The 50 seems like it would be the obvious choice since it obviously has no problem motivating the FX and it’s incredible performance.

I like it
Black is a good color for it
It will look flabby in lighter colors
A definite step up from the current ham-fisted design

They’re probably going to slap their 3.7L VQ in it. Seems that 3.7L engine goes into everything they make these days. A couple of years ago, it was the 3.5, now it’s the 3.7. It has good potential, though, and a pretty smooth torque curve, so it should serve this car well.

I like the curves of this car a lot. The interior is very luxurious looking!

Lexus rear :/ I’m disappointed…

NOW that is a HOT luxurious car.

Did someone just turn up the heater or is it that hot car??!!

great looking auto. the front seats look outstanding.
the closest japanese brand to bmw or mercedes.

IIL

if the rear looks like anything its the CLS.

the more i look at it. the more i like it..
this is no lexus/buick. this will be on of the hottest cars to have for the next few years.

I used to be “meh” about the interior, but now that I see it in a tan color I’ve changed my mind.

The rear doors look too small for such a big sedan though.

^ i’m still “meh” about anything infinity

This infiniti will do well when it comes out. Its far ahead of the bland wannabe luxurys lexus/acura. Its going to be a head turner for sure.

nmofgm- I try to understand your posts but cant understand why a biased person stuck on one company would come to a site that talks about all car makes and models . It makes no since because 80% of your comments are going to be negative unless its gm. your comments are predictable why dont you join a gm only site like gm tunerz.

Datboy
Daily correction #23
Acura/Hyundai are the wannabes
Lexus OWNS the mountaintop!
Now back to our regularly scheduled nonsense
DrFill

Don’t you lemmings see what NMOFGM is doing? He’s baiting the weak minded into bashing on GM products. Probably some 1115 remnant.

Anyway, I’m not sure that Buick has anything that would directly compete with this car and I’m not sure that is their intent. The Infinity M has been a knock out since the first model. This loooks like a good progression for the car. But I fear a touch of what happened to Acura could be happening to Inifinity. Odd design themes, such as their latest jutting-forward grill design, seemingly for the sake of creating a niche for themselves. The oringinal G35 was a great success and I will once again, as with other cars, relate that to having an eye-catching yet uncluttered design with continuity from front to back.

This is going to be a head turner. The M37 close to 350 horses is going to be a bad ass machine for sure. I cant wait for the May 05 repeat next hear … Way better than cookie cutter Lexus/acura for sure…. I’m not even thinking about the tech they going to load this puppy with… cant wait for this one for sure..

^^^this new infiniti will stand out from other cookie cut jap brand. “lexus”.
people will not have to use their key remote to hear the horn to find this car. it will stand out from the rest. this looks like the only car that i have seen that could compete with the 5 series bmw for style and performance.

I dont see what the fuss is about, it looks like the G37. Big surprise there. Nissans always look like Nissans and this no exception. Not bad looking, but hardly a big jump from the current model.

insideline has better pictures and drove the car.

This is what the New Nissan Maxima should have looked like.

This is scary and ugly to me.

Note to the Korean designers… get busy. Here is the inspiration for the next Genesis.

^^ and infiniti didnt say get busy.. our inspiration is the CLS when this came out? cuz thats what it looks like…..and thats not a bad thing.

I will accept anything from Nissan/Infiniti because they are actually changing their cars, along with Hyundai ( which will soon be a luxury company) if anything i’d buy ASIAN it would be nissan/infiniti hyundai/kia.

Seems like Infiniti is trying to go for the muscular organic look. I personally preferred the previous generation of Infiniti cars; they looked cleaner and tighter.

It looks alright, but the squared up grill is a bit jarring compared to the rest of the car.

The front end is a bit iffy-looking, but the rest of the exterior looks quite nice.

I’m curious as to how the interior looks. The interior of the last M was pretty sweet.

yes lexus owns the mountain top of grandad old man cars that look like camrys.

this infiniti looks outstanding when compared to other jap luxo brands.
the new m class is going to be a big seller for people that actually enjoy driving and enjoy quality made autos move as well as they look.

Buick Lacrosse will prove that Infiniti nissan clones are overrated junk just like all japcrap before it. You want real luxury backed with quality and the best relibilability and dependibility in the business, then Buick is your brand.

You want a cheap POS japcrap knockoff wannabe that will torcher you with repair bills and be ready for the scrapyard by the time the warranty runs out? You want to be laughed at by your neighbors and friends for being an embarrasment to your Country, have your car keyed because you are an ignorant, unAmerican fock, This article is about your car.

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM.

omg give it up, if you stopped posting here american car sales would probably sky rocket.

Infiniti M is going to be thee car whether you like it or not and although more expensive then GM stuff it will be better in every way. BAM.

I test drove the current model M (albeit 35) after driving a Maxima. THOROUGHLY unimpressed. I would never get this over the Nissan variant. Again, I drove the M35, which is a LONG way from an M-56, but I can’t see the value in going with the lux brand.

Its nice to see that Infiniti has seen fit to equip the new M with a normal shifter, as opposed to the 5-series and E-class.
