Infiniti M45

Looks like it's too high off the ground for me... needs some lower springs. Hot motor and lighta(er) weight is generally a winning combination, except for the bland exterior. Chances are it'll be the next J30. Good, but you'll always have to explain why you got it. Always explaining and that gets old.

tons better lookin in person than in the first few pics.

the interior space is smaller than it looks and the same goes for the trunk, the car can haul but it looks like the length of the car could be a factor in the handling department.

feels nice when you sit in it, the interior isnt cheap looking IMO, like some people think about all infinitis' interiors.

overall it seems like a good car, a nice lil 5 series and GS competitor.

The M45 looks tight with some of the bodykits offered on them (not from the dealer of course) Nissan/Infiniti are foing to be offering some factory warrantied performance items on there cars soon so right now the M45 may not stand out as much but later in it's production cycle it will...

I also thougt the same exact thing, It is a damn hot car. At the least it is a great improvement over the current Q45.

We are talking about the Infinity M45, right? The one that looks like a Crown Victoria? The one that is based on a taxi in Japan? (I know about MB taxi's in Germany). Sorry fella's don't see what your seeing. Exterior styling seems dated and an after thought.

If the car is a dated taxi, then i have grown a fond new appreciation for out of date taxis.

That movie is a damn shame. The M45 is a Japanese Town Car. The front looks like the Avalon or that Kia Spectra. The G35 is the best car in their line-up. Sports sedan our arse.

this car is a joke. the only thing it has going for it is the q45 engine and rwd. the exterior is ugly as hell. i'm sorry but i don't like it at all. even for a 5 year old car design, it's still ugly. they want to sell it as an old man's car, go ahead. no one else will buy it

oh please, just because we express negative opinions about a car doesnt mean we're fuking jealous...

I would be foolish to deny the beauty, power, and luxary of a car like the q45 and g35c. But as expensive as the m45, looking as bland as it does, doesnt spark any particular interest in me.
