M35/45

I think I fell in love with it like I did with the TL. Great value/performance/features.
What do you guys think of the new M35/45.

I especially like the intelligent key...push button ignition(cool toy)

The real thing looks a lot better than the photo. But I would still pick RL over M35x anyday.

Since I actually have sat and messed around with both of these cars, I'm happy I can make a comparison

When I sat in the RL at the auto show, I felt very very cramped, and somehow the ergonomics felt strange. Also, the tan color interior was HORRIBLE with the woodgrain they had selected (sorta like with the TSX). The seats didn't seem to want to conform to my body, it seemed like they were pushing me away. I was very disappointed in this car, I was actually looking forward to being impressed. But the interior didn't impress me at all, and since that's what counts the most in a car, I quickly marked it off of my list of things to be interested in.

Now, when I went to the Infiniti dealership, it was a different story entirely. I fell in love, and hard, with the M45. They had just gotten their first Black/Black in, and when I sat down, I felt like I was at home, like the car was designed for me. Everything was exactly where I thought it should be, the seats were very supportive and comfy, while being firm yet supple. The features blew me away, and the room I had was incredible, even without the seat all the way back.

I want the M45, without a doubt.

I'll be checking them out this Spring. To much crap on the ground around here to get a solid feel for performance. (Sidenote: I'll be checking out the CTS-V as well. )

I love the new Infiniti M's, but the only thing I’m not crazy about is the Rosewood trim, I wish they'd given the option to have a glossy wood trim. If I were to get one it would be an M45 Sport in Black Obsidian or Diamond Graphite with a black interior and the aluminum trim.

We are in different body shape I believe, I feel much more comfortable in the RL. And I think the interior has higher quality as well. (I think there are people here would agree with me, well...this is an Acura forum after all.)

Well I am not a Nissan hater, I think the M is better than the 06 GS.
