I like it. Its not beautiful, but its certainly not ugly IMO. One thing is for sure it will have tons of road presence. Something that Infiniti needs right now.

I disliked it, then liked it, and with the recent pictures, am a bit unsure. But it certainly looks better on those Edmunds pictures above. I guess I'll have to judge it once I see it in person.

The interior is gorgeous, and the power will certainly be there.

It's nice but those new pics don't wow me. Interior seems busy but quality filled.
Wonder why no debut in Frankfurt?

Interior looks inviting. I like it so far but I don't really like having a leather shift boot on a luxury car equipped with an automatic transmission. Save that for the sport sedans like the 3-series.

I do prefer the instrumental cluster on the current M over the new M37/56

If they offered a manual they really would have an ace up their sleeve like the 5.
I'm still betting a coupe is coming!

Now the real pics show up and I still love the new M inside and out! This car has crazy buzz going for it right now and I think it will do very well for Infiniti.

IMO the G brings a lot of road presence whenever one is on the road. I can't count how many looks I get when I'm driving my G.

Back on topic:
The New M is gorgeous inside, and out, and will be a grand slam for Infiniti. But looking at these pics, one can wonder what they'll do next for the G. If they make a G56, I don't know what I'll do w/ myself.

That rear 3/4 angle is seriously sexy.

The new pics bring this car back down to earth. Now it looks more like a larger G37, which is not that bad. rear 3/4 pic is still WICKED.
Interior = still beautiful
Exterior = still aggressive
Power = Off the HOOK !!!
new M37/56 =
Lexus will have to seriously step up in design,interior, & power for the 4th gen GS to keep up with this car. The M56 makes me more curious as to what Lexus will do with the new GS. It would not suprise me for Lexus to bring out another weak (conservative) version of the GS. I really hope I'm wrong!
GS400 ?? 340hp
GS460 ?? 380hp
GS F 480 ?? 450hp mininum
I don't think lexus would give these cars that much power.
