Only if they are both free. If I'm writing a check it's the TL all the way.

what about the TL-S vs. an M45???

whatever the fact is, the M45 is f*cking butt ugly. I saw one a couple times, it's so f*cking narrow and ugly IMO.

If it were based on looks, the TL wins hands down.

Same here, if it's free M45 all the way, but if I've got to fill out the check I'm a TLer for life!

I agree. Infiniti could have done a better job in the looks department......

i like the looks of the m45 and you can't beat the current deals for a new one. i'd take it if i was making the choice now/again.

M45 is a powerful sedan but the TL and the 45 are in different categories and IMHO the M45 is not an attractive car, I don't know what Nissan was thinking on this one.

The M is alot quicker than the Q and its times are quicker than the TLS's so dont think becasue you beat a Q you will an M. I dont care for the styling it looks alot like the 95-01 Q especially from the side.

You can pick up an M for quite a deal these days. They are not selling well at all according to my Infiniti dealer. There's some monster rebates and deals to take advantage of if you really like that butt ugly design


BTW, the times from Road and Track are identical for TLS and M.

The only thing the m45 got over the TL is hp. Otherwise, TL all the way!

The M45 is a nice-looking car in my book, I've seen them in real life and they definitely have a certain personality to them. I'd still buy the TL because there's more interior room. I've also seen some great deals on the M45 as it seems to be a slow seller.

Motortrend showed what they believe to be the new M45. Looks more like the G35, but larger. So if you must own an M45, wait a year or two and it will look much better with better dimensions. Everyone says the M45 is too narrow a car for the size.

Besides, the upcoming TL Spec A should destroy the M45.

I'd like to get a new car, but I'm waiting to see what cool stuff comes out next.
