    Infiniti was truly innovative in design. They were the brand that influenced other car makers to make more sophisticated contour lines for automobiles. Those lines will be legendary in the auto world.

    Such an excellent car. Any generation of M was a good car. Never understood why they weren't more successful.

    OK John Davis... Ponderous Q45! Post 2003 cars with the premium sport package and decent tires are the most undervalued large sport sedans out there.

    This is one cool car with the V8. I currently drive a 2014 Q60S and
    the thing I love about the Infiniti is the controls. They are intuitive where
    as most other cars in this class are electronic nightmares, well,
    for me anyway. This M is really nice and if I could have found
    one in my area, I would probably have bought it. The
    cool thing is that it is one heck of a sleeper with respect to
    performance. It goes like a Q60S or a 370Z but has the sedate
    look of dad's grocery getter...

    @tCson Blind spot assist was out way before BMW and Lexus had it in thier cars, but the key word here is Blind spot "INTERVENTION", any other vehicle can help you in warning you when a car is on the lane you merge to but Infinitis system Intervenes in the event of this happening. The M-class will actually pilot the vehicle back into the center of the intended lane if it has veered off-course and if it senses a collision or will help avoid one. In essence the car takes control, others will not

    5.5? The M56 was tested at 4.6-4.7 seconds. Who's driving these cars?

      5.5 has to be the M37? That sounds more logical. I also read it was under 5 seconds 0-60 for the M56.

    • @rawn4203
      @rawn4203 Před 4 lety +1

      Yes 5.5 sex to 60 for the M56 has to be a typo or mistake. Virtually any other site out there says it does it in 5 or less, mostly say less.

    Killing off the Q cemented its reputation as a second tier premium brand, more like Acura than Lexus or Audi. You can’t have a serious luxury brand without a flagship.

    @Johncarson9113 Wow thats not even the same thing buddy, the Lexus LS460 basically has a Lazer guided cruise control which is common on many cars these days, the systems intention is to keep you on your lane when you begin drifting, it does not detect blind spot awarness it just nudges back when your blinker is off when merging into a lane. the Infiniti will pilot the vehicle back when you do not see a car in your blind spot!The lexus doesnt care about the car next to you, it will not detect it.

    Why does it have so much power a d torque but specs are the same to my 03 G35? Such a disappointment cuz i want to upgrade to a v8 (i have an 03 G35) so i can be faster and mod it without worrying about the engine being too stressed but this to me is like a step backwards. Guess cts-v is the only fast and relatively cheap v8 rn (2nd gen used V)

    Im sorry but making every infiniti look pretty much the same doesnt do it for me. It looks like a infiniti G37 coupe and sedan. The rear looks lke a camry (which is gay) and it just doesn't look like a $60,000 car. I personally thought the last one was great!
    I will give it to them, the interior is stunning...
