Wow, is it just me or does it look like a 4x4 off the ground? Nice color and this car is a vast improvement over the previous model. Great work Infiniti.
I don't see what the big fuss is over the styling. It looks good and blends in with the Altima, G35, Maxima, well.
Pharonick2, very nice pics. Great work. The car will be officially sold in Feb 05.
Looing at progression, look at how small and boxy the old E-class is behind it.

Great job and thanks for sharing, Pharonick2! The picture quality is excellent. Good thing you aren't just bringing a camera phone with you. I know what I can expect from the Autospies newsletter released tomorrow.
Parked on the street already. Wow. Must be some Infiniti executive taking it home for some joy rides.

Can we stop talking about a brand being a glorified version of its sister brand and focus on the merits of the car itself already? The M45 is going to be one of the (if not THE) best equipped cars in its class with an exceptional interior to match. You can't say the same to any Nissans.
Now, if I could only get over its highly questionable styling...

Nice quality photos That's a pretty nice car, but to me, it seems like it's just a refreshened G35 sedan. The profile is a shadow of the G35, the front end looks a little different (the differences would be obvious if they were parked next to each other), but the rear end looks fresh. Assuming this has a V8 (45= 4.5ltr V8?), why would anyone choose the G35 sedan (it's not like I see many of those on the road anyway)? The G obviously costs less, but for some more $$$ they can get a V8 and better equipment. Or maybe it will work the other way around, kinda like the lower priced/equiped Altima taking a sales away from the Maxima. So people might not be able to justfy the extra money for a little more car with an engine that guzzles expensive gas. 
Pharonick2- I believe DTR stands for distributor, so maybe the owner of the car most likely has connections to Infiniti.

Nice find, dude. Despite looking like a Passat/Altima cross, I think it looks pretty hot. Hope it sells well. Lexus needs some real Japanese competition. New RL and M look like they'll provide that.

Liking the color and rims style however the stance and rim size make it look like it should be the 35. I'm not trying to take anything away from the car at all because even with it's smaller rims something like a GS300 is still a great and beautiful car.
The lights aren't as bad as I thought they'd be and overall the shape is just fine with me. Some of the interior I thought I had a problem with but after seeing these real world pics of the outside, I may just fall for the overall package.
Good job taking pics and putting them up here. You probably should have watermarked them though because as far as I know these are the first ever pics of an M on the road. Infiniti's about to sell some vehicles.
