[QUOTE=(Cj);5332367]I'm not sure what you're price range is, but if I were you I'd check out the new LS Sport 
I have driven the LS sport and as stated previously I like the exterior styling. In Baton Rouge the Lexus, Infiniti, and BMW dealers are located within 3 blocks of each other so you get a chance to really do a thorough comparison. The LS does not handle like the 750 or the M IMHO.

I checked out the M37 tonight and all I can say is what a letdown in person. I think it may be even more boring and G37 like in person then in pics
. My girlfriend and her friend thought it looked just like the G37 sedans on the lot but they are not really into cars. I was hoping the grill would be bigger and more in your face to look distinctive from the G37 but it seemed more toned down in person, it really just looked like a G37 with a bigger grill and curvier fenders. Overall a very forgettable uninspired design. I walked around it trying to like it or find an angle I liked but couldn't. One of the big problems is it did not really look upscale or sporty at all and could easily be mistaken for a Nissan. The Maxima sedan is nicer looking and more groundbreaking then the new M but the M does have a much nicer interior. I was highly looking forward to the new M because I like the current M and was hoping for a great design but they dropped the ball making it look so much like the forgettable G37 sedan.
The worse thing is they had two current M45 Sports parked a few spaces next to it and they looked much better and stood out more, they looked larger, more upscale, and more aggressive then the new M37.
Maybe the M56 with the bigger wheels and other touches will help things out but I can't get over how boring and uninspired they made the M37 look and that is going to be the most popular M model sales wise.

It's been seven days. Seven. And nobody has noticed this 2011 Infiniti M37S we've been driving.

ooooo. that hurts. and that's with the special body cladding and styling.
As poorly as the 3GS sells, at least a fixed up one will get looks.
and performance is mediocre for the M37..... probably due to its near 2-ton weight.
the M blends in well with the crowd, and is unnoticed because from far away, the back looks like a camry. from the front, it sorta remotely looks like a hyundai.
I wouldn't be surprised if the S version became a rattlebox within a year of purchase, with its harsh ride
Can't wait to see first month's sales numbers. I predict a failure
