I'd still hit it ... but that straight profile reminds me of the Galant ...

But to be totally honest - I'd probably take a BMW 545i SMG for ~ $60,000.

Yes, it looks like a Camry ... yes it is hideous - but damnit - from what I've read - it drives like sex.

That white Fuga looks sick, & I too can't wait for a head to head comparison between the V8's of this class.

Cool

Those numbers for top gear acceleration are insane.

Nice Exterior ! The sport model has All Wheel Steering That must be weird.

Found another cool body kit for the new '06 M35 / M45. Wish I could afford an Impul body kit for my G35.

I'm a Lexus fan 100%, but I'm sorry, this thing looks F-ing sweet.
Much better than any 06GS stock or photoshops I've seen

I hope the new 06 M45 depreciates like the current M and Q so I will be able to pick up a low mileage pre-owned M45 Sports soon

Yes, just put a bag over your head.

The old M and Q are dogs, this new M isn't. I think it's gonna sell well and hold its value. How's the G35 holding its value? Since that's a hit that might be a better indicator.

From the pics, this new M35/45 looks better than the 06 GS!

The O6 GS has it's role spelled out very clearly. You better catch up to the new Infiniti's!

Hey 2SAVVY, I never see you posting on here anymore! Very nice pics of the impul kit you posted above.

Congratulations on the G35 purchase! When did you get that? Still have the SC430 and Mazda? What about that FX35 you bought last year? Man, how many cars do you have now????

We need to get together so that I can spank your G35's **** with my TC and LSD modded GS!

Hey buddy,

Busy as always not much time to CL as I would like. As for the cars we only have the '04 FX (Wifes) and '04 G35 now. Mazda was traded in on the G but the 17" summer wheels from that car are now my winter rims and the SC was sold to one of my buddies. Looks like I will be a Dad (very excited about that too) in July of this year so needed to allocate money elsewhere. Did you see my posts on the RX tour in Cambridge. PM me if you need a contact since there might be a few spots open for Jan. 25.

As for spanking my butt with your GS we'll have to put that to the test. I might have a little something up my sleeve.

Still working on getting you out to look at a website for the business too. Can't tie down enough time so we all can talk to see what we want.

Ken

Big for the M45, I'd definitely cop one if I had the funds.

This is HEAVY car, over 4000lbs and for all it's girth it's really a performer.

Just to note, Road and Track had the M45 sport:

0-60: 5.3
1.4 mile: 13.8
