Something about the M design that while I believe it's LONGER than the new GS it still looks compact and way more sporty. Big 
So I love the car's looks from side on. The front is a bit 'in your face' for me, I like the new GS better. I think the M rear is better than the snore inducing GS rear. The interior though... GS hands down - what's with the center console bulging out? I guess to get the controls closer to the user?
As for the rims, not my thing, but dang it's amazing the M can swallow 22's!
The body kit, did you say that's an Infiniti add-on? If so it still looks a bit 'added on' to me, so not sure about that but it certainly makes the car sportier.
Anyway AJL0365, my opinions are irrelevant. Big congrats! How are you enjoying DRIVING it!? What do you like and maybe wish was a bit different? How's the nav?

One thing about the Infiniti aluminum trim, they look horrible in pictures, but really good in real life. Something about the sheen and the texture get lost in pictures.
Congrats on your purchase

IMO, the M is MUCH MUCH better looking than the new GS.
New GS = Fat and Bloated while the M = MUSCUALR and FIGHTING TRIM
M's interior should be beeter. But its exterior with the sports package is really really hot.

That ride deserves either soem high quality 3piece chrome wheels (Symbolic, HRe, I-Forged, Asanti etc etc.) or a more sporty JDM wheel (Volk etc).
Best of luck with your new ride.

I've been waiting to see this car hooked up and I'm not disappointed. Just like the others, I wouldn't have chosen these particular wheels but trhey do have a certain flair about them. Are you sure they're 22's. They just don't seem that big...which is a good thing. I've been praising the m45 and now I see it's justified. What a hot looking car. Interior needs some upgrades though. I'd rock this car any day.

I dont know if I would call the new GS fat and bloated, I was looking at one in Graphite with the 18" wheels the other day, and could really see the potential (in person). That being said, I always liked the M for some reason, its has a "bigger" look to it, but not bloated bigger, and not TOO big.
Both cars are nice! I think I like the M a little more too.

Ride looks good. I'm just not into "flashy" wheels.
I REALLY hope you didn't pay $1,500 per wheel though!
