So true. At Infiniti forums like Freshalloy Lexus rarely comes up as a topic but here it seems there's a new Infiniti thread every week and they usually tend to be the most active threads in the room.

Not good or bad. Just an observation.

1. This forum is car chat, all cars are discussed.
2. Search Freshalloy and type "Lexus" and see what happens.

Guys lets keep the topic on the cars, particularly the M35/45.

I do have a question, is the M45x and the A6 4.2 the only AWD V-8 cars in this class?

No, E-class V8 has the 4matic.

Wow, so 3 cars. I wonder what sales are like? Sadly the only AWD Lexus V-8 is the 600h L.

Infiniti has become a bigger threat to BMW than Lexus. I mean the entry level Lexus is a front wheel drive sedan. The IS is a Corolla with a kit on it with a large motor. Thats why it's a woman car.
With the M you're getting performance and luxury not just luxury like the GS.
The IS is a Corolla? Since when did the Corolla become a six cylinder, rear wheel drive car?

But we should soon see more Lexus V8 AWD machines offered, according to rumours.

The GS looks more like a Japanese 5 Series but the 5 has better lease rates and included maintenance, 2 things that are hard to beat when most Lexus and BMW are being sold side by side, both cars feel like drivers cars where as the M and E have a crusier feel, slightly more interior space, I feel like the 5 and GS fit like a glove when I get in them.

Another thing I noticed is several of my neighbors and friends have traded last generation GS300 for the ES350 so the GS might be trailing the M in sales but the customers are probably still in the Lexus family

I'd take an M45 any day but would love an LS460
