REPORT: Next Nissan Fuga to Debut in Tokyo, Foretells Infiniti M's Future

The JDM Nissan Fuga is due for a comprehensive overhaul, and according to a report by Japan's Holiday Auto, we can expect to see the redesigned sedan at this fall's Tokyo Motor Show.

The sketches above were inspired by a recent batch of spy shots and as expected, the Fuga – which serves as the basis for the Infiniti M in the States – will undergo a thorough exterior makeover, taking cues from the Essence concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show. The headlamps will continue to be stretched further over the fenders, while the taillights and bumper will be more smoothly integrated into the bulbous rump. We're hoping the most interesting element of the Essence – the curved, creased and indented C-pillar – will make a successful transition from concept to production. Expect the Fuga to go on sale in Japan early next year, with the fully-redesigned Infiniti M to debut soon thereafter.

If the sketch is accurate, I like it a lot better than the current M35/45 already ...

I dont like the rear lights, but knowing infiniti they will make the changes more conservative. Its not going to be anything drammatic. Look at the redesigns on the G sedan and coupe. They look very very similar to the previous generation

The way Infiniti's all look alike, this sketch looks to be pretty acurate

That sketch looks like a reasonable evolution of their M car to me.

Beautiful! This car seems to be Mercedes CLS inspired. It will be a winner for Infiniti especially with the new VQ V6 & that powerhouse 400hp V8

it will be interesting if they make the rear fenders that wide, based on the rearview sketch.
I'd like to see a sedan built like that.

front end looks too similar to the current one

By far the Nissan Maxima is the best looking vehicle they make.

Everything else looks the same, use the same parts, a sea of sameness, like this Teana

....This might also have Nissan Intima styling cues

i really like the current M45

very nice looking sedan

for the new Infiniti M37/50, they better make it look different than the G37 and not so much like the CLS as well...

i have $50k set aside for the mfgr that can make the best looking midsize sedan.

The current one is fine that sketch better not look like the production because, it's rather dull looking from the rear and less G37 from the front. I hope the interior does not look the same as how the G, FX, and EX all look practically the same.

really don't like the tail lights of the future M and the current M. Other than the tail lights, car looks 99% like the current model... boooooooooooo!
