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.
WOW!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE IMPENDING ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!!!!!

Your life will forever be changed my friend!!!

Thanks for the offer on the RX tour in Cambridge. I will have to pass this time around as I am busy that day with a prior engagement.

Well the sales manager where I got my G35 was nice enough to send me a whole wack of pictures of the '06 M45 from NIAS so I thought I would share a few of my favs. Now I love Lexus to no end but Infiniti is coming after you guys hard. From what he tells me this car is gonna undercut the new GS300 by at least 5k CDN.

I'm looking through the 80 or so pictures he sent me. I'm thinking the cars are disconnected (ie. no power) but i'll be taking a test drive at my dealership is a few weeks of a M45 (Gotta love my dealership). So i'll take a picture for you.

This is a nice car. I give credit to Infiniti they should have good sales. I personally like the 06 GS430 a little more, the interior seems better put together.

I love everything about this car (styling, performance, interior, exterior, wheels) EXCEPT the horizontal upper dash...

I might have to sit in one to understand how the controls are gonna work from that angle (and they might work just great) but my preliminary thoughts are a negative on the ergonomics in that area.

Just an observation-
I've noticed you don't really like your GS too much do you Doug? Still having probs?

and to stay on topic: outside of M blows away 06 GS-----inside GS blows away M

Well ok, its 0 degrees right now here in Chicago and I can honestly say I've never felt anything colder than my wooden steering wheel. A heated LEATHER steering wheel would have been MUCH appreciated - oh and heated seats that have more than one setting, that would be good too.

Back on topic... yes, the M interior is a big improvement over say the G35, but Infiniti still has a way to go. I think they fired their interior designers and who then went to work for BMW.
