LOL thanks guys, i work for lake norman chrysler jeep dodge and my boss also ownes lake norman infiniti, so i get a discount there as well as dodge, $7,000 off is what they gave me 
. but i forgot who asked abou the nav, i honestly dont really know how to work it, its cool seeing the graphics and all but i would much rather having a touch screen because that **** is frustrating at times 
. the reason i choose the M over the GS because well, the discount for one, but i really do like the M and the GS really is a quieter ride, even when the M had the sport 19" on it, the GS was honestly far quietier and more refined, noise enteres through the cabin of the M, and i would much rather have the GS430 but i like what the M offers like the aero kit, i think that really enhances the look of the M. all toghether with the wheels, tires, and shipment resulted in the cost of a little over $6,000. (probably should have made that clearer, the wheels wernt really 1500 a peice, the 1500 included the wheels and tires my b guys) the seats are really supportive and while i though the seats in the GS were supportive as well, the M just holds you in. the steering wheel feels kinda rough though in the M but i dont really mind. the alunimum trim is a pain in the a** to keep clean. tested the radar cruise control, actually works pretty well, and love the sound the engine makes when you floor it. average gas milage sucks (14.1) 
but hopefully that will change, i get an average of 21.7 in the RX300, and i dont know about the camry. 
i dont know how to work the rear seat DVD player, cant get the screen down. but if i had to choose all over again between the GS430 and M45 i would choose the GS hands down. im more of a Lexus person, but i dont regret my decision of the M. but i'll be driving the camry more. i think that has more of an refined ride, i know it might sound dumb but.......
yeah dave i'll be at the meet this saturday

You have a new loaded M45 and you'd rather drive the Camry. If you hadn't bought the M45 you now think you should have bought the GS. Sorry to say AJ but it doesn't sound like your that happy with it. Anyway, I hope you come to like the M45 more - it looks great!

Congrats on the car! I would have stuck with the stock 19" wheels (I did, in fact, do exactly that). And your review is somewhat bizarre.
But nevertheless, you need to go out there and really drive it. I think you'll find you like it more and more with every drive!

tmds your car is 
re: aluminium hoods/trunks. I think all Infiniti's have aluminium hoods. I know the G35 does - but somehow it feels more substantial than the M. Either way I think it's a good idea if only for the lack of rust worries with aluminium.

I split and merged the 2 Fuga owner threads here, as I didn't want MMarshalls review hi-jacked like the last time.

Nice M45
There was another thread with a white M45 with wheels a lot of guys didn't like too much. Let's see if you like this car better. The M is sure looking good.
