Finally a Japanese sedan with V8 and available all wheel drive. This will surely put the current GS out of it's misery.

The Teana and M35/45 are almost identical.

That picture of the E class and C class does not help your cause. That just shows you are hating on infiniti. The headlights are exactly the same...the C class is just connected and the E isnt.

Are you really going to start this again?

How about you post pics of a solara and SC. Or how about an ES and Camry. Or how about LX and land cruiser. ES, LS. Rear 3/4 panel of maxima and GS. Please get over it

So the same goes to the IS/GS? the IS has connected headlights but the GS doesn't?

THe comparison between the G35 and G37 is kinda dumb too. They ARE both G cars. One is a coupe and one is a sedan they are supposed to look similar.

the shape is exactly the same. Separate the C class ones and what do you have. The E class. I dont think the IS and GS look similar. The shape of the M and G headlights are obviously different. if you dont see that then maybe you should get your eyes checked

Windom is the camry. The camry coupe has always borrowed design from the soarer, nothing new (look at the 1995 Camry coupe). It's just re-badging and selling. That's like comparing the old Maxima with the Infiniti I30/I35. I didn't bring up that argument because that's a different story.

Nissan BLATANTLY made the maxima/altima very close to the 2gs. I think any 2gs owner would agree on that.

Ok man, i'll get my eyes checked out for you. No need to be butthurt when someone bags on the car you drive. Imagine the crap i get from all the maxima/altima owners

Diggin' the updated look. Glad to see they shrunk the huge tail lights from the previous model...although it does look like G35 tail lights now.

I'll take the white M45S please. Why so much Infiniti hating here? Is it because they can actually make a car that handles well? Anyways similar to the G or not, I'd totally rock the 08 M45 over the boring GS or anything else in its class.

So on the internet, people cannot post their thoughts?No, its called "hating". lol
Oh noes, Lexus can't handle, they crash in turns!!!

No one here has said its a bad or poor car. Quite the contrary, its a fine ride. Don't expect everyone to be floored by it.
