You mean my sources that said M56 were right? hahahah that's a first. I rarely trust dealer's knowledge when it comes to future models.

5.6L V8+Sedan= SICK!!


Although it's not the same segment this could be an LS460 killer. I can't wait to find out what kind of other tech this thing has.

Telling by the front lower fascia, I can tell it will have intelligent cruise control cause of the laser box thing I see in the picture mounted into the front fascia like our G's and current M. But we all knew it would have that

What a smart move it is to put the 5.6L V8 into the M. Thumbs up infiniti

www.nissannews.com has the high resolution pictures up... If you zoom in you can see a few more details. For example, I see a heated steering wheel button.

I hope it has power folding mirrors. The current gen doesn't.

Can't see any controls for a folding mirror... I notice it doesn't have the compact flash drive, but it does have a USB indicator on the screen. The new Infiniti clock is... different.

Overall it looks like an M and a G did it and this was the spawn. Very similar to the FX50 interior in a lot of ways. I'm not sure I like the triangle design on the steering wheel myself, but it could certainly be worse.

There is a control to the left of the heated steering wheel button that I can't identify, looks like wavey lines inside a box with an arrow showing up/down. Anybody wanna venture a guess what that is?

Also there are definitely some elements of photoshop work here. Look at the left door lock, the transition to the handle looks fake to me. You can clearly see the photoshop removal of the picture in the left mirror, and the tire sidewalls have been blurred to remove any information.

More pictures please!

im going to miss the quad exhaust tips. i hope they didn't ruin the LED design of the tailights like they did w/ the FX. if they connect the LED lines with the inner lenses in the trunk they will flow nicely....

Besides the quad tips and leds, what do you think of the design as someone who will sell this car. Do you think it will sell well (I know there is no way of knowing...but your opinion?)? Do you think Infiniti went too conservative?


I think some of us had really high expectations due to the Essence. Frankly, I thought it would look more Essence-like. However, I like what they've done. They've moved the M in a far more classy, elegant direction while keeping "sport" in the language. There are very few car manufacturers that can claim they've accomplished that. No, I don't find BMWs to be elegant.

The interior is impressive. I think we will all be lusting after this car when we see it in the sheetmetal.
