Let's see if the "Major 3 Auto-Mag" publishers agree with you, shall we.

That looks really good I'd take this over the GS430 anyday. The GS is boring and bland, like most lexus designs (except for the new IS), and it looks like a maxima. Also, no presence at all. But then again, thats my opinion

Oh, then you probably havent read the May issue of car and driver yet...they even prefer the RL over the GS. I'm pretty sure motortrend will prefer the M over the GS as well. We just have to wait and see i guess

I'm actually just "OK" with the M35/45, but they just don't work for me. I'm not meant to be an Infiniti owner. I have an FX and the "Infiniti way" just doesn't work for me. I don't care what anyone says, my personal experience says that they are not built to the same standard.

Let's see how the consumers vote with their checkbooks..

Well if the relative recent past is any indication... Based on my knowledge, Infiniti/Nissan has been nothing short of a "Financial Success" with the advent of the Award-Winning G35 Coupe and Sedan which are both stellar from an enthusiasts standpoint. The M having such a broad model-range should do just as well, especially from initial indication/praise.

Hmmmm? I've been here 4 years gene, And I still can't figure you out. Now I would not normally engage questions with you since for whatever reason you've always disagreed and/or flamed on me...
But...... So you own a Infiniti FX which just happens to be the one Infiniti vehicle that I never quite understood/accepted due to it's lack of "utility" even though I believe most Sedans have more cargo space than it does. But surely it did something for you... Might I inquire what?

Nice aerokit, improves the M45's looks immeasurably. IMO the GS is more sculptural and sexy, but the M45 has a good sporty look. Ironically, comparisons of the GS to Nissan products would be more apt for the M45 which more closely resembles the (good looking) Nissan products. Sort of like a cross between Altima and Maxima and G35.
