yeah it is a little too wavy.

takes a little getting used to. But the rear fender is well drawn out. The wavy character line gives the illusion of a lower belt line, and makes the rear wheel not look so small, whereas the GS has a higher belt line, and makes the rear wheel look small.

The GS does look a little more balanced in the front though

Lexus its time to fire Mr.Frankenstein, your designer who's been experimenting with all sorts of designs lately, before he can get his hands on 4GS.

the M shares some lines with the hyundai horse. even the windows look almost alike

Add some wavy lines and GS looks like an M (almost) or is it M that looks like a GS ?

Something about the front quarter side profile of the M reminds me of the awkward proportions of the bmw 1 series.

one thing is for sure

the GS needs to ditch the fat bubble look and get some character lines...

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I don't quite understanding the nit picking of every single aspect of this car - seriously, interior door handles?

I'm going to say I love this design but it sure looks a hell of a lot better than the current M and a lot of other cars in its' class. I don't know that I can honestly say that this is a 7/S/LS fighter, but it'll be superb in it's own class and perhaps overlap a with the 7/S/LS. I'm hoping that in the right colors, this car will look better in person than in the few pics we have here. If priced right, this car may do for Infiniti what the original G35 did for them and that's a lot to be optimistic about IMO.
