Default Would You Buy One of This - M45 Coupe ? (Photoshop)

Another "M " thread, sorry

This is a nice photoshop by KnightRiderV (g35driver) , he calls it a G45 coupe, but it's really a M45 coupe to me.

The M45 sedan have very good performance & handling but I'm never too enamoured with it, I really like the Fuga concept but is disappointed with the changes they made for the production car they have now, but I would buy a coupe version if they make one that looks like this & change the ugly tail lights :

Hell yes!!!

Let me put it this way.. If it performs.. like a 6series... id take it over the 6 series.. and would most definitively withouth a doubt take it over the SC430.. the current gen SC430.. should of been this sporty looking just like the original sc car.

First of all AmethySC...that is a freakin hilarious AVATAR...hahahaha is that 1sicklex?

and since G35 coupe was one of the cars on my "wanted" list, a M45 Coupe (without the rear light setup of the current M) looks hot

i hate the new M series rear ends. it's so gigantic.... it starts out nice in the front...and then....BAM2#%$& the **** is in your face and up in your nostril.....


the coupe is an interesting idea though.

There are a few articles in car magazines that have said Infiniti is planning on making a M45 type coupe and possibly a hard top convertable. I hope it will follow what the G35 coupe did and not just be a 2 door G35 sedan but have a unique shape and higher performance. I would definitely be interested in this car and a good looking high performance v-8 coupe is something Infiniti needs in their line up.

I agree, the Fuga concept was great. But those photoshops look awesome.

I would buy one if it didn't have the current tails. I liked the last gen tails better. But that does look very appealing

Great CG!

Why does the designer call it a G45 coupe when it is a chopped M45?

That's a very aggressive loooking car. Very Hottttttt!

I think there is nothing special though. It is a problem I have with all newer vehicles. Companies seem to have lost their ability to create something that truely stands above the rest. To me, all the new stuff looks the same no matter what you do to it. It all just has that "new look".
