Aesthetics alone, I'm not a fan of the bloatedness.

Too fat and swoopy looking to me. There are so many other cars I'd consider before this one.

The exhaust note sounds really good. Thats the best about the M37 Wait for the 4GS bro.

Only thing I like is the interior. I think there's better overall choices around.

I have to respectfully disagree, the VQ37 doesn't sound nearly as sonorous as the VQ35. Sounds too course and unpolished.

Keep looking for an LS. It's EOM/EOY, bound to find some deals here in the next couple days. Lowball a dealer or three until someone bites.

And the M is nearly as ugly as the G37. I cannot stand the inverted hood that looks like a manta ray floating in the water. It looks foolish to have the hood dip down as opposed to pushing out like it's got something monstrous under the hood.

The M is sportiest ride of its class. If you don't dislike the looks, go for it.

The interior is amazing.

Every Infiniti I have been in or driven has disappointed me. The level of refinement that you often see with Lexus is light years ahead of Infiniti. They just don't feel near as solid, and well, "refined".

Says the guy with a 15 year old Lexus; do you even know what a light year mean? I agree that Lexus cars are a little more refined/softer than an Infiniti, but light year ahead they're not.

Infiniti makes very solid cars with firmer suspensions than Lexus.

Btw, 1 light year = 6 trillion miles.

You should rent a car for the next 5-6 weeks and then get the 4GS as soon as it comes out.

i missed the chance to buy certified 07 LS460 (35k mile) with mark levinson for 37k last month and now it seems like everything went up like 5k,,, just not willing to pay 3-5k more knowing that,,, plus its five year old car,,,

anyways, just test drove inifiniti today and like everything except gas pedal feels really jerky,,,there is so much crap inside its kind of confusing,,,gonna keep searching but gonna buy something this week,,,
